Habbox Live concerns

[Hecktix]

Sorry but yes, we do need the disable button. I don't like HabboxLive blaring out everytime I go to Habbox.com.

[hah]

I think HabboxLive is needed as a whole site, merging it would damage it even more like it did before. We have our own space and people can tune in via Habbox if they wish.

I don't think that HabboxLive's time is up just yet we are going to try and improve, I was just talking with Roxy and we are going to work to make sure that the shows are more interesting with more chances to win bigger and better prizes and the bigger competitions will happen more often.

Care to explain how it would damage the site? I could only see it benefiting Habboxlive, it would have all listeners tuned into one site instead of separated on two sites where information is limited on both. You could have all the radio information on one site instead of being redirected to another... I think your just against it because it would mean your not in control of a site and you wanna be... since your here so long and still not agm

All departments seem to be all talk no action (apart from like 3)
when you say there is a problem they agree and never do anything about it

Now, I'm not an expert on any of this but with what I've heard of V6 I think it would be possible to have whats on the HxL site incorporated into the Hx.com site and for some users it could be set up to be like a HxL site

Last time when they merged we had endless technical problems that led to the site being updated rarely. Then there was the fact that the listeners said they didn't like it and things such as competitions and events we did got significantly less entries. Basically the popularity declined and I don't want to encourage that anymore than what is happening at the moment.

Yeah, that's what me and Blob suggested and HxL staff didn't seem to like the idea.

Im sure with the new site coming you wouldnt face such problems and with a good few coders now things would be sorted quicker.
And why is gods name did you change the type of competitons you did onces you moved sites? That is just silly and seems like a lie to me

We didn't change the type of competitions, what I meant was people were confused and put off by the site being all one and when there were events and competitions on the site people didn't see them because with the space we had we couldn't stick them on the first page so it is the first thing everyone sees. This meant that less people entered the compeitions.

It was Jin and MAD who were in charge when it merged the last time - the two of them are quite good at sorting things so i don't think it makes any difference if there is coders etc now. I really don't think the sites should merge last time it failed and the listeners went down quite rapidly as soon as it merged. I really don't see no need for it to be merged having the 2 sites is much better keeps HabboxLive content seperate from Habbox. You said about that Jess wouldn't have as much freedom on the site and that's why she doesn't want it to go ahead, the only way she can manage the site is by having full acess to do what ever she needs to it's like saying forum managers shouldn't have access to AdminCP and have to ask matt to do things for them...That's how it was when it merged Jess had to contact MR.OSH to get things changed/added if i remember correctly which is just stupid.

iya! i've only recentely come back to dj here after a 3 year break, and i do agree somethings need changing. but i don't think it's the right time to think about closing down the radio completely, though i agree a merge with the habbox site would be awesome.

1) the cover issue. number one, i dj for FREE at habbox (not saying we should be paid btw), it's a voluntary service and if i book to do one hour, i expect to do one hour. the problem is, there's a few dj's on the team (not mentioning names) who see a free slot at the beginning of the week, book them all up and then don't turn up. and the dj before is left to cover for 1, sometimes maybe 2 hours. y'know, we do have lives. i currently work full time aswell, and if i'm dj'ing for an hour, that is ALL i want to do. i think certain dj's need to really re-consider whether they wanna actually dj (i know this is gonna sound really mean), but it's not fair for 5 or so dj's to have to sit up all night, or sit around WAITING for you to miss a slot. and that's how it feels sometimes with some people. i know i'm not the only person saying it either, for one i know samology agrees with me, as we were talking about it yesterday.

2.) i'm not a great fan in luring listeners with prizes. yeah, okay listeners have dropped. but quite frankly; i would rather have someone listening to me because they ENJOY the music/dj'ing and not listening cause i'm gonna give them a ******* hc at the end of it. i find it quite insulting ahaha.

3.) i STRIVE to bring diversity into my shows with genre and the maturity of shows. (etc reviews, critiques etc) and i do manage to hold listeners during my shows, so maybe this is a route to go down? instead of the same old stuff.

4) i personally think the DJ should not go all night, because the streaming just looks stupid after a while. i think we have enough UK dj's. we should hire some more american/austrailian ones and people should work on a timetable for their timezone. because sometimes, it's hard for UK dj's to get a primetime 7-8pm slot because an international dj has that, but at 7-8pm their time, the radio is streaming.

and that's everything i have to say really; i enjoy dj'ing. i've worked on a professional FM radio, and i used to much rather enjoy habboxlive because it's fun and it's not all target based. i'm just sick of booking a slot, and knowing i'm more than likely gonna have to do the next.

apart from that, loving you hxl xoxox

All HabboxLive content could go in a separate directory which Jess would have FTP access to?
