HabboxLive Ideas

[sammy]

LOL!
Your comps app wasn't that good

Tbf to sammify, he's entitled to an opinion whether you think it's rubbish or not. I agree with Oli mostly (not all of it but most of it). When people complain about "10 year old DJs", they forget that it's a Habbo fansite not Radio 1. Tbh some of the DJs are better than... Chris Moyles -fetches bucket-

Obviously he is but I'm just saying imo it's not a very valid point and I don't see how it'd improve things .

Oh excuse me? Not knowing what they're talking about lol, remind me when you were staff or a regular listener? I know for a fact you're not a regular listener now, at least definitely not an active one in terms of sending requests or getting involved with the community .

I don't need to be staff to know the basics of getting people to a website. I don't need to listen regularly or be staff to know how to run HxL successfully and in turn gain popularity to the rest of Habbox. I would say I often get involved in the community at Habbox, whether it be by taking part in events or doing things that I don't publicise.

I have never DJ'd at Habbox, and don't think I have applied more than twice (and that was a few years back). I have however DJ'd at ClubHabbo and some australian fansite (can't remember what it was called, but was one of their biggest and began with the letter H). I think the time I have been at Habbox enables me to have half an idea what I am on about , don't you?

I'm quite interested to know why you think that the growth of Habbox isn't a valid point tbh, Sam

I don't see how it'd improve the "growth of Habbox", it's been like this for ages and having a seperate site works better. Surely it'd be harder for Gemma or James to update things like Listener of the Week, just like it was when it was changed before. I don't think it's necessary to change but that's clearly just my opinion and it's not up to me .

www.habbox.com/comps ??
I think youre talking about HabboHut?

Anyway, it will be interesting to see how v6 looks (if it ever gets here, that is) and see if it can accomodate hxl as I can definitely see the knock-on advantages. In the meantime, HxL should advertise comps Habbox as much as they can!

You are correct. It has been here for ages.

And I would say the decline of an average 100 listeners and the decline of the amount of people on the forum, would indicate change is certainly worth a try.

Obviously, both have started to go back up (as we have seen through the stats), but I am almost certain that by merging the two together - and I know the radio department will moan - more people will find out about habbox and habboxforum - which can only be a good thing

He highlighted quite clearly how HxL on Hx.com would improve the growth of Habbox, people would use the site to listen to HxL then there's high chances that they could explore the site and that would take them to other areas of Habbox. There are too many people who listen to HxL (and tbh this includes some of the bloomin' DJs) that think HxL is a unitary organisation - this is not going to help Habbox and it's not going to help HxL either. A merge would.

Don't agree with you a lot in feedback Dom but your feedback (in my eyes) on this topic has been spot on.

[Sarah]

No but i didn't say "it doesn't appear to be working anymore", that was you. If it's been like that for years it's obviously been okay and it should just be kept as it is. If not many people use the HabboxLive.com site then fine but we can't really comment on how many people we think use it because we don't have any stats.

Yes, but your claiming its okay - when you dont have the knowledge of whats the stats are. You don't know if it is okay or not.

How does the listener of the week not have anything to do with the site lol? News/articles writers will really know who's tuning in all the time, sending in shoutouts and requests and coming to party rooms lol :S. Anyway, how will everything fit into the main site? Are you just saying we should have it all under a little tab? If so I don't see how that would work, there's obviously content on the hxl site so how would we fit the whole thing into the main site in a little tiny space like this:

I meant as in the articles staff would do the reviews whilst DJs/Habboxlive Management would choose the listener of the week. (I did say this...)

oh well if you're talking about doing it in v6 then obv i can't comment i presumed she was on about the current version

Yes, I was referring to v6.

I don't see how it'd improve the "growth of Habbox", it's been like this for ages and having a seperate site works better.

Thats your opinion and as I said you don't know if its working, how would you know if it gets more listeners than the main site itself? Listener of the week could be updated via Habbox today, or they could just create something new for it to appear on. It's really not that difficult and I'm sure the coders would know what to do.

The whole argument someone is staff and not a regular listener is utter rubbish. If someone isnt a regular listener (like milestone has said he is) and then is outlining the problems he sees with the site - if the changes are made he might actually tune in? The fact is, you have a the smallest bit more of knowledge more on the Habboxlive site than any listener, you are just aware of the inner workings. This is the feedback section and we are just giving back feedback!

Unlike many of my colleagues, I think merging the sites may actually help IF, and this is IF an easy to update user system is given to management so that sites can be updated without any problems, which was what the problem was before.

[Conservative,]

I've read pages 1-6 so sorry if I'm repeating things said in 7-8 but my feel is:

Habboxlive DOES need a new layout, the current is quite garish and honestly I don't like it.

I am also FOR merging with the site. It would help people access www.habbox.com and the content on there (news, RVs ect.) which would help boost up those departments, as well as being able to advertise events more easily through maybe a little widget with the events for that day in a prominent place, and of course an advertisement for the forum. Bringing listeners more into the community.

I think the fact that the DJs are in-experienced is a problem. And the main problem is, as Oli has put nicely "some of them may have never DJ'd before and SAM isn't the easiest thing to use in the world". Honestly, my feel is send them away and tell them to re-apply when they can use SAM. They may have a brilliant voice - on a sound recording programme which a 2 year old can use. But a lot of GOOD DJing is knowing your way around SAM. Really, we need DJs who not only sound great, but can use SAM competently and don't go "urrr, where's this.." on air. It just makes me cringe. The way to solve this is, as Mark suggested, a 5-10 minute trial on a private radio to see how they do, then a PM or message on MSN or w/e to tell them what they did well and where they went wrong.

I HOPE these issues will be solved in V6 but well...it's V6...so you know
