Noone posts any more.

Not as many members seem to come on these days. Hopefully it will get better but as others have said I would rather have less threads and posts than spam.

with the example you've used richie, i don't know what the op expected from the reponse. like you said, if people don't like it they don't have to post but in fairness we're all entitled to our opinions. no-one was victimising her in the way that spam used to victimise people, they're doing it because it's a stupid thread (in my opinion).

i just don't see the problem. i'm not going to be overly nice to people because i'm not like that irl, not gonna change myself just to promote active posting. which it wouldn't anyway, this forum is most active when a drama IS going down anyway.

I think management need to start doing more things. Until a feedback thread is posted, quite often management are content sitting there with the status quo. I've not seen anything big happen on the forum or on Hx in ages. This isn't 2005 anymore, you can't just sit there expecting members to come to you , as sad as it is.

Although it's not just the forum, but Hx in general.

A posting competition is just a short-term action for a long-term problem.

Recursion said something qutie interesting a few months ago about the server issues which sums up the mindset of management and staff here - Habbox is reactive, not proactive. They're happy to go along taking on damage until too much damage is taken on board and it's too late to do anything when action is taken. It wouldn't surprise if the past server issues have put people off completely.

Agreed. We had this type of thread pop up many times since summer. Amazingly as far as i can see nothing has been done still and the situation has gotten worse!

The thing is suggestions for these "big things" is what we would mainly need. Coming up with something from the top of our heads may not always work out and it would be better to get ideas from the members themselves.

Management are never content with the status quo and there is always something happening behind the scenes as an attempt to make Habbox a better place forolder and new memberswhether that's planning big events or smaller things like adding new forum features. Despite that, as gommeinc has pointed out, these big events are merely a short-term solution to a more long-term problem. It's all very well having all these big events with their massive prizes but if newer members are just going to leave when they finish then we haven't really improved anything at all. In my opinion, those who stay here stay because they have connections to the place that keeps them coming back. They fit in somewhere whether that'sa frequent member of aspecific forum(technology, spam, Habbo, runescape as examples)or as a member of staff or just getting involved on Habbo. Long-term then it is up to management to try and make people fit in. This isn't always possible as there are many factors that we just can't control and if we attempted to control them would do more harm than good. It needs the whole community to work properly. The community needs to allow people in while maintaining some form of hierarchy, however subtle, that people aspire to rise to.

In short, management can't do everything. We can'twave a magic wand andforce people to keep posting. Efforts need to be made to making the community a nicer place that people want to join. We can entice them with our wonderfulbig events and competitions but to truly keep them here, they need to feel like they belong. loljust realised this isn't short at all.

See, I do speak sense some times

how about we install something that turns us all into bots

when we're offline we continuously make threads about cheap viagra and stuff

LOL! I can't stand forum bots. They are parasitic.
