habbox groups

[Tintinnabulate]

I think there has already been a thread discussing most of your points, already, however the facility to make groups and to keep them active is pretty prominent on the forum. If the members don't want to no amount of promotion is going to make it happen. Some things work, somethings don't. The awards have and maybe this won't but time will tell.

The awards are like automatic. Groups should be promoted. I mean I forgot they even existed. They get ZERO promotion. Do competitions to promote them. A quick example: Make a group today, get members. Group with most member wins xxxxxxx. Just promotions.

Also just to add, there are people in my personal opinion who are ready to become AFM. Oli's now away (I believe) for a few days and this would be a crucial time for the AFM to be there whilst Oli's away.

Bolt would make an excellent AFM. However Oli doesn't want a AFM.

This would make a good competition and it would promote them. I was never for them and the only reason I remember them is because I see what groups people are joined to when I click there profile. Martin would be a good AFM, I agree, just depends if he can handle the workload. Although Oli doesn't want an AFM, it would benefit the forum massively.

Well I guess there would be no harm but it's not as if it's not prominent on the toolbar at the top and yes Martin would do a great job but I am not sure it's because Oli doesn't want one.

If General Management had seen it as a problem then they would have made Oli have an assistant...

Garion works alongside Oli on the forum, so Garion is kinda his assistant....

Well a AGM told me he doesn't want one and Oli said there is no need for one.

We need one to think of more and better ideas, post more, promote the forum more, get things dealt with faster, and take over when Oli is away. I mean just because he had an exam, forum hxhd take over couldn't happen last month. However a AFM could have easily hosted it.

Maybe get rid of inactive admins (no names (a)) and replace a certain features manager with a new admin who is both a features manager and AFM - thus they have enough work load. Inactive admins who make 2 posts in 3 months aren't needed.

Clearly linked. Groups needs more promotion, last time they said they would promote it more, not happened. Clearly need a AFM to distribute work.

In my opinion and from experience on another forum I administrate, social groups are incredibly hard to get right. Even with promotion (on there we placed them on the forum index like a forum) they still dwindled and died simply because for the most part people like posting in the forums, and groups are ultimately by default in vB hard coded to be out of the way and not very well thought out.

I think that it's down to vB's ill thought out ways of putting in groups, and the fact if people aren't posting on the main forums as much - why would they go out of their way to another page to post in someone's random group.

I totally agree and he is not likely to have A level exams again anytime soon. I think the way the management is structured should be left to the management as they are the only ones who can make that decision. If you have a complaint about an admin surely the best thing to do is to pm somebody or make a complaint. Too much personal targeting of staff lately most of whom who work their socks off for Habbox. Having ideas to improve is one thing but
personal targeting of individuals is another. That's my view.

Never made a complaint about Oli, just said a AFM would be beneficial to Habbox :S
