Why Habbox isn't as good any more (imo...)

[immense]

maybe merge rare values with the forum and close the site ;l cud have the radio playing too and like news cud be on the forum

I've been waiting for a youtube plugin or something similar for a while now, and I understand Jin is busy, but it seems he's the only one able to sort it. Other little issues do need sorting, and more organisation in general needed to ensure the site is given major priority. I think lots of people view the site each day, whether it's for rare values, hxl, news or content- but I think more can be done to get even more. Rare values may be a bit less used than perhaps a year ago, but there are plenty of other ways in which fansites can draw in the members and we need to work on strategies to achieve this.

don't even need a plugin to add youtube videos lol. sure copying the embed code works. or just use the JCE editor if its not in use already - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensi...ion/editors/88

Make me GM that will solve all problems

EDIT: jake (pasta) I think Hx Joomla uses TinyMCE and not JCE, but yeah embed code init

habbopedia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

might be copyright issues, i know wiki have moaned before but like users submit articles about habbo from hotel managers to rares and obviously content staff will have to verify it but tht wud be well gooood. me and garion can start it with our habbox stories seeing as we're gr8 at writing

http://habbo.wikia.com/wiki/HabboWiki

why do something done already, it'd end up like the image archive
and when the idea was brought up in the past someone said no we cant have guests editing content blabla

I think that there is that layer of approval that's normally unnecessary. It seems to me that there are always high expectations and everything needs to be spot on first time. If a v6 was released, there could be feedback thread on what to improve and then change things where needed. Instead, it goes through multiple levels of approval before they release it (and then there's normally a feedback thread anyway!). I may be wrong but how long has 'Habbox v6' been in progress cos it's seemed an awfully long time?

Embedding doesn't seem to work (have tried numerous times), and I don't think I'm allowed to turn on editors ect. It's just left as it is. I'm sure it will get sorted eventually anyway!

@Jake: I have seen a few examples of News departments migrating to the forum, and it does seem to work quite well in most cases. It not only ensures that the news is always available and having designated people to do this, but it also boosts forum discussions, triggers great conversation and just seems to work in a nice organised way.

I don't think we would be allowed to do that here though, I just guess we will wait and see what V6 is like. I'm hearing that articles will be smaller and more of a "preview" on the front page, rather than the whole article being displayed in a list etc.

it hasn't been done already properly, that is a huge niche imo and if habbox did it properly i think that's what they could be known for

Video embedding works of some sort now.
