HabboxLive Ideas

[Conservative,]

I agree completely, doing this will improve the quality of the DJing and the radio. If someone fails to get past the test radio stage then they will have something to aim for next time round.

Basically getting to that point would say to you: "You have a good radio VOICE, but you're not competent with SAM. Go away, get some practice, then come back" which is what it should say. So I'd be all for it.

Yeah, something along those lines. If that was me they were saying it to I'd go off, get advice and then practice. I guess it's kind of like constructive criticism.

Oh, and while we're at it could you stop DJs singing in between songs, like singing at the beginning then in the middle and then the end. They either sing a song, or they don't (I'd prefer this but yeah).

Like bloody Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2. He always did that - ruined every bloody song. Think if they get caught doing this once - PM. Twice - warning. Three times - get lost please xx :L

Another advantage of inviting 10/15 DJ's to do a ten minute slot (depending how many you want to hire) would be that you could give each of them a short private message on why, if they didn't, get the job. This would be so that the DJ's would know what they did wrong, and that next time they should get a place (assuming they have worked on what they didn't do so well)!

Yes precisely

Lol Steve Wright :L I was asked once or twice to sing on air, and of course obliged for the listeners but if they're doing it of their own accord it's a no-no.

And I think just telling them on MSN would be easier - after all you're probably in a convo with them anyway because you have to give them the details to the radio ect. And then as well as what they did wrong, what they did right, so they don't feel they messed up completely.

Oh another annoying thing, could someone remind DJ's to turn the sound of their MSN off? It is seriously annoying when you hear a ring every few seconds because someone is saying hi to them!

The DJ Variety imo has improved slightly from what it was a few months ago, but maybe having a few themed shows would be good for HxL.

Going back to your comment James, the last 10 songs that have been played are:

1. Fenech-Soler - Stop And Stare
2. Kesha - We R Who We R
3. Katy Perry - Firework
4. Tinie Tempah & Kelly Rowland - Invincible (feat. Kelly Rowland)
5. Nicki Minaj - Your Love
6. Ed Drewette - Champagne Lemonade
7. Bruno Mars - Grenade
8. Ed Drewette - Champagne Lemonade
9. Katy B Ft. Ms Dynamite - Lights On

10 songs is about half an hour-ish, this shows that the variety is very slim.

It is also annoying when you hear the DJ type on their keyboard lol, not a major problem, just a little annoying

Where did you get the "listener average of 14/15" figure from? I think HabboxLive has a unique listener audience that Habbox or HabboxForum hasn't tapped into and is perhaps younger than that. It'd be interesting to see actually but I've always assumed the HxL average age as 12/13. In fact, the target audience that the Competitions department markets itself at is what I call the 'HxL crowd.' Anyway I'm getting off the point.

So depending on how old you think the average listener is really determines what you think about your points. Sure, people grow up and move on so why would you want to target yourself towards that age group when there's more newbies to plug the gap. I don't think the DJ thing really matters. Possibly the opposite, I wonder how many people apply for that 'DJ' title and in some cases, I think the DJ thing is needed or it just looks stupid. There was a DJ called fistpumps (hi shanni) which would look weird without the DJ bit!

As for variety, yeah that's definitely something they could work on. I could just say request it but DJs can be prone to saying "oh I don't have that rock song, I'll just play Barbie Girl instead."

Also, can you also make the Habbo name field required in the HabboxLive panel because lots of people ask what's the current DJ's Habbo name.

And I really hate it when DJs switch songs because they don't like it or they're losing listeners.. of course you're gonna try and keep the listeners but you keep the dedicated listeners tuned in. I mean a decent old song is on, and then they say oh we're losing listeners so switch it to some **** uk top 40 song which is the time I tune out.

I didn't say that HxL should change their target your audience to a different age group, i said compramise. If we play a variety of songs from different years and genres everyone is happy! This way the listeners will hopefully go up.

The whole thing about DJ is a little robotic and not so nice to hear. Would you want to tune in to someone called DJ Waterworks or a presenter called Richie or Jammy

Agreed, a lot of people come into HxHD and at the party rooms asking who the DJ is
