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

[immense]

Couldn't agree with you more, richie, but not a bad way of publicising his forum I guess. Also Habbox is not in bad shape at all - plenty of members coming on. I don't know about the site because I am not code savyy but it looks okay to me. Just sounds like sour grapes half the time.

wrong. habbox is in bad shape. matt has said this. it's not on about the forum, the site. *REMOVED*

you don't have to be code savvy to know if a site is run well or not :S

Design is awful and has been admitted by general management. You seem to have this auto "defend habbox even if I am wrong" thing in your head.

Seriously Jake , very few people care what you think and also I am entitled to post. The forum and site is a lot more than just the design and everybody works damn hard here to keep it popular. For somebody who pops on a few times here and there to advertise your website you have a lot to say for yourself.

Why are you saying that it's Joomla that makes it not look very good, its the design that makes it not look good. Joomla is very powerful when used correctly, which Habbox isn't utilising well.

@ the bold bits - it's not the heart of the fansite. what part of Habbox is official? the main site.
2nd bold bit - more is noticed as being done on the forum because that's what users give feedback on, rarely do people give feedback on the site. when i was agm i made a few threads asking for feedback on things to do with the site and was lucky if there was one page of replies. the forum feedback thread the other week got over 25 pages i think. this is probably because people who use the site don't use the forum which maybe should be advertised more on the site, and people who use the forum don't use the site

I did not specifically say that Joomla's ruining Habbox.com. It's just simply not needed and leaves too many unnecessary wires running around for what we need and wish to accomplish. Building the website from scratch opens the doors towards implement the exact features we want, how we want them, and most importantly it allows the entire gist of the site to overcome constraints imposed by Joomla (primarily focusing around what we wish to accomplish with ease of template implementation for future design changes, and us taking advantage of what a Javascript library such as JQuery has to offer).

Perhaps saying the forum is the heart of Habbox was going abit too far, although it most certainly is the heart of the community in the sense that it's where most all confrontation and communication amongst--well--everyone takes place.

Design planning has started with many people chipping in with feature ideas as well as improvements upon a layout we have.

I also believe David and I are going to start coding the backend features, such as a MySQL class and also a new permissions system.

There is quite a lot to be coded, and we can only do parts of that with limited resources and it's quite hard.

Also about your General Managers who can code, I do agree to some extent as they are the only people who can mainly fix the main website, Site Coders can only fix certain aspects of the website stored in a folder.

With our general floor plan subject to change, yes, we can still work on elements which would be generic regardless
