Posting Competitions

[lizzieTBH.]

Just add another prize of "best quality posts" in the posting competition and then everyone's happy.

People would probably make up a ton of ** about anything to win.

"And we get this"? This isn't a complaint thread, it's a feedback thread. Management need to stop thinking every bit of feedback is a complaint

I agree, I am posting a lot due to the competition but I have found that a lot of the posts are actually interesting and although I wont be posting around 50 posts a day I think I shall definitely be posting more than I have in the past 2 years of being a member of the forum.

Yet further evidence of the competition being a success. If you guys don't think things like the above quote are successes for the competition then do you actually care about htis forum?

One person so far for tones of spam, I know what side I'm on. Just saying. You shouldn't have to bribe people to post, if they don't feel the want to post without the reward, i'd rather they stayed away from the forum.

These comps do look like a desperate attempt at getting people to post

The point is richie not to bribe them to post, but to kick them off posting, I've spoken to several of the young members who have started posting more because of this competition and they have told me that they didn't realise that posting around HabboxForum was actually fun before. That's the point in it, to help them realise that posting on habbox is actually quite fun and yes, as I've said 100 times now, they won't post as much as they do when there's an incentive but they will post more than they did before - and that's excellent.

Do you actually care about your users? You seem so focused on getting the forum more popular that you don't care about the impact it has on your existent users.

Fair enough, how I see it is you shouldn't have to baby spoon feed them to post. If they don't post because they want to, leave them be. I'm all for competitions and I'm not one too shoot down habbox, eminem once said "why would I destroy something I helped build". I have helped habbox out over the past few years with competition prizes, on air time and other things so that's definitely not the case.

What's the bets if you changed the competition to 1 month v.i.p most of them would give up, even at this stage of "liking it". Lets put it to the test Oli, if all those new members leave after the competition, can we put an end to this?

Of course he doesn't. That's why everyone wants to set the oil on fire

If I was gay I'd love you.
