Site down again.

1. Jin owns the site. forum etc with Sierk,
2. If Jin wants to deal with the issues he has every right to.
3. If he wanted to hire extra staff or change server he would.

A Dr. John Kotter would have a field day with what you've just said. The first step is general knowledge. The second step is "yes he could do it, but should he when it clearly is causing problems again? They shouldn't be happening at all!" The third is, then why hasn't he? He clearly does not have the time and I do not blame him :/

I'm not being funny but who the hell is Jim


O/T:
There should be a role like Jin was placed in before co-owner. Site Technician, that was handy.

I don't think anyone was debating or disputing this, we're just saying it's a bad idea that to this point isn't working and we've come up with viable solutions that would probably work.

To be fair, he did say he wanted Habbox to die off. I remember that back when Immenseman temporarily came back and made a point about rep points I think and Jin said he wanted it to gracefully die. The post was deleted though :/

I believe this was at a time when sierk was talking about removing his funding, this is no longer the case and both Jin and Sierk are happy to continue as long as Habbox is producing up to a certain amount of revenue to fund itself. We've managed to increase Habbox's revenue with the "Limited Edition Donator" scheme so all is good there, and we have plans for 2012 and beyond in terms of developmental advances with our new site.

Ah that's good, when it came up everyone was shouting "WHAT?!" Donator seems to be picking up a lot lately, I noticed it too. What made it popular all of a sudden, or is this not the right place to ask?

I can't entirely remember but I think the question given to Jin was like "would you sell Habbox" and he replied with that he'd rather let it die and it might happen or whatever.

We started the "Limited Edition" Donator scheme in February, where we release a "special" donator for 3 days each month at the extra donation of £1.50 rather than £1 and this has proved really, really popular. Normal donator has oddly, always remained constant, bringing in around £20-40 each month apart from in December (obviously). Tis all good

I'm starting to think you live in another world...

Yes he can do, but if he takes the attitude you've outlined in your post people will simply leave.

No, I live in the real world where I don't bite the hand that feeds me. It is not a commercial enterprise it is a fan site and it seems to me that some people just have hidden agendas here and are posting just to make him look bad. Basically you are saying that you know how to run Habbox better than he does and I am saying he has the right to run Habbox as he wishes on the resources at his disposal so I suggest you give him and the management a break. I am very sure they are doing the best they can.

In my opinion the majority of the people here probably don't even play habbo anymore. I'm here because of the community, i'm sure it wouldn't be incredibly hard to find another one.
