HabboxForum Suggestions Box! [+15Rep to all reasonable suggestions!]

[myke]

there should be a feel of equality amongst members, i know there are plenty of members that feel left out.
im not one of them, i stick to my gfx forum and tahts about it so yeah

but i will say the moderation is gd now :-]

[Catzsy]

The main reason is that most people don't have time while they are at school or working but while the summer holidays are comming up for me and other people aswell then we should have more posts because I will have loads more time. The forum isn't as unique as other forums tbh it is like what is the point in posting. Maybe there could be like a points system and for each post they make they earn 1 point and you will get some forum goodies. To me, that will make me want to post on the forum as a challenge to get the reward! Also, even though there are many badges for getting like 1000 posts, maybe badges for getting 100 posts in 1 day or week? Then, that will motivate me to get that reward!

That is exactly what I said and I was told I was being silly but it's true. Lots of schools have their end of term exams, outings, social events etc.

Seems this thread has been focussing on what the old members want all the time it's the one new ones we should be looking at. Totally agree with nvr that we need to be more habbo orientated and as Oli said the SS should cater for that.

In the meanwhile:

1. Habbox has quite a furni store and yet the prizes are quite miniscule compared to some other forums and I feel we need to make it worthwhile for them to win competitions, events etc.
2. The lottery needs to come back - it was very popular.
3. Trade room if made popular could bring a lot of benefits to Habbox. A well known trade room is a constant source of new members. Perhaps staff could be encouraged to spend their time down there a lot until it doesn't need a lot of support. MP has it's place but I have noticed a lack of really good trade rooms.
4. Perhaps Oli could bring back the Q& A sessions which were pretty popular but use a 50 capacity room.
5. New Members reps? A bit radical but could there be a custom new members forum that only staff and new members reps had access to until they they have a certain number of posts? The advantage is that they get the right customer service and it is something that nobody else has as far as I know.
6. Hold competitions in each main forum actually tailored to them as Oli said but run by the Comps dept.
7. Hold a survey. List the questions but make the answers private.

im always open to new forum friends as long as they are fit/skinny l ol

also your mods dont really get involved at all... maybe id like them more if they did and werent so annoying and gay (the happy way lol)

the mods seem alright until they get smod

i think dannzo scott and orangeshhh (rip) are great mods lol
they are so laid back

Yeah I agree, scott and danzooo are really nice people... Those are the ones who need to be promoted to super moderators. For example I had a few questions to ask about something so I PM'd danzooo and he replied giving a lot of detail and was very helpful and came across as being very happy doing so.

I'm actually going to ask for an allowance for the forum, furni wise as I feel that there's only so much we can offer with VIP and rep, a lot of Habbo people will be interested in winning furni, and perhaps credits.

2. The lottery needs to come back - it was very popular.

I agree, the free lottery that 2hd. did was also very popular.

3. Trade room if made popular could bring a lot of benefits to Habbox. A well known trade room is a constant source of new members.

Danube has a good trade room, I do agree more staff should go down there, I've only been once myself although I don't use Habbo much - which isn't enough really.

4. Perhaps Oli could bring back the Q& A sessions which were pretty popular but use a 50 capacity room.

Tuesday, 7:30PM, it's a date?

5. New Members reps? A bit radical but could there be a custom new members forum that only staff and new members reps had access to until they they have a certain number of posts? The advantage is that they get the right customer service and it is something that nobody else has as far as I know.

I like this idea, a sort of "Meet & Greet the Staff of Habbox", anybody else got any thoughts on this?

6. Hold competitions in each main forum actually tailored to them as Oli said but run by the Comps dept.

There's no reason moderators couldn't do it like suggested earlier, I think it could do moderator-member relationships some good which is somethign I'm looking for.

7. Hold a survey. List the questions but make the answers private.

We even created a survey back in March when the forum was quiet but Sammeth was quite.. unsure of it - by the time he'd gone the forum had picked up again but it's certainly something to think of.

Josh, I think most moderators would PM you back with something like that we currently have a very strong team of normal moderators, they are all of an excellent standard, the Super Moderators are very good too.

[triston220]

I think there should be an option to buy lifetime VIP. If I had that I would like to stay on HxF.

I think Catzsy meant the Forum Meet & Greet, not the GM one, the forum one was really successful.

And yeah we had a survey like that set up, I'll see if I can refind it

In bold Rosie

Regarding the "Meet and Greet Staff of Habbox". I don't really like that name, I think members should be able to become reps (like Rosie said). It shouldn't just be staff as to be quite frank, as a new member I would like to meet and greet with other members, mainly due to the fact that it would be nice to make 'friends' with other members and not just staff.

I think the idea Catzsy suggested is really good, having member reps and another forum only viewable to them and new members is a great way of making people feel welcome and being able to ask other members questions. I think it would be good if these reps were not staff and are seen as members, just like any other member.

not even going in to detail, i don't even care what you do. you push away all the active members.
it's most definitely double standards, don't even say i'm only saying it because i get infracted/banned often. my point is members who are "known" for having a bad reputation in terms of bullying, their posts automatically get dealt with even if they're innocent. i think my reversed infractions speak for themselves, no? plus some of us can actually take a joke! i don't report people who use "scottish" as an insult but apparently i'm racist for calling canadians ugly.

it's like you only see the bad things people say and disregard anything else. if you didn't notice a lot of 'e-rebels' make the threads suggesting where you go wrong.

why don't you just deal with posts that are OBVIOUSLY rude to someone or ones that are actually reported?!? like i say "**** off stop being a sheep", he doesn't report it (apparently) because he doesn't mind. can you not just deal with the posts that are offending people instead of looking at who the members are and their past?

oh yeah, the "report your infractions" thread is ridiculous. just LET us reply there instead of making us do it in support:S it's actually seriously annoying when you get a reply "please don't continue to post in this thread". it's so patronizing and it makes us look even more like troublemakers :rolleyes:

& lmao at suggesting putting post a pic back to spam, we argued AGAINST it being moved in the first place for ages and for the clubhabbo having photobooth, i personally wouldn't want a section where you post a thread dedicated to just yourself >.> not a lot of people would do it especially not new people.

and get rid of the image verification could you?

I think things such as the Habbox Elections were successful, certainly got the community together and got people posting, that was very beneficial. I've no doubt the summer spectacular will be once again when that gets going. They need more major events like this as I've no doubt these are good for Habbox, the World Cup was a missed opportunity to get the community together. Releasing a bit of VIP and hiding away a World Cup Predictions add-on didn't really do much. The predictions add-on was terribly publicised and I only found out about it towards the end of the World Cup. Things like Big Brother and next top model though are a waste of time in my opinion, they're not remotely interesting and I wouldn't deem them as successful.

Now for the reasons why I'm not posting as much, sadly I don't have any suggestions on how to improve this but more links with the Habbo community would work and possibly a loosening up of rules.

Technology Discussion - There is very little debate there these days or people asking for proper computer help. It's just people saying crap like "what phone should i get" etc, there used to be newbies with quite complicated issues which always used to be fun to work out I thought, or some decent nerd debates, these seem to have gone.


Yeah the Tech Discussion is so not what it used to be. So many great members have left the forum who were regular posters in there and then there is also the issue with not many posting any good threads and what not. Although it can be quite good proving other people wrong from time to time, I miss how it used to be. Do you think there is anything we could do to get it good again?


Discuss Anything - Perhaps a bit too early to speculate seeing as the crappy one-post threads have now been eliminated, however that doesn't mean that interesting threads will return to the forum, there's little decent discussion there.

Current Affairs - Pretty much everything has been debated there and it's the same old **** from the same old people constantly, tired of it.

I agree, most of it is all about people being "Anti-EU" and "Anti-EU this and that" and whatever else.

May I also add, I said the merge would be the start of the downfall of Habbox so I'm just going to bask in being right as always.

I agree that Habbo has also had an impact on our userbase and activity. There is other issues also but I do think this is one of them, most likely due to the merge and also how Habbo has changed quite a lot over the years and maybe this ha pushed users away. I know many members on this forum don't play habbo at all or very hardly but I don't think it would be wise of us to be a full on "General Forum".
