I can't really say much as I've only just returned to the forums myself, but I've posted in threads and it's taken days for people to reply.

Also this ridiculous theory that spam users are aggressively territorial doesn't help anything, not even sure why people still believe it when it hasn't been the case for at least 3 years

I do not believe it intentional however the spam forum is very cliquey and I think the presence of KKK does nothing to help this issue.

It is very much better than it used to be and the KKK is an Habbox Institution. Was this a joke post, Chippiewill? In any event new users don't usually migrate straight to Spam. I am quite confused as to why the numbers have dropped so much lately. We did have an awful problem with loads of downtime but it has been pretty good lately and the temporary drop usually recovers but it doesn't seem to have this time. :S

Not really, I always spam the forum to avoid from inactivity.

How is it cliquey? Are you suggesting that if we got rid of KKK it's going to be a better place? Next joke...

True Story.

It is much better than it used to be and I do not believe it can really be helped too much more than it is now, the two-step separation between Spam and the Habbo section which is where new members will reside, because the spam forum frowns upon habbo related spam (And I'd say quite rightly) which is one of the few ways in which new members would be able to relate to other members, which means that they must first undertake a migration into other sections which can be problematic as some users do take a while to identify the status quo which happens to be very mature because people are generally aged between 16-17 outside of the habbo section which itself tends to attract 12-14 year olds, the age gap provides too much of a barrier for new members to spread because the older members find them incredibly annoying (Understandably) and tend to avoid conversing with them. I probably worded the whole cliquey situation badly, from an external point of view it would look cliquey it's certainly less cliquey than it looks.

Considering that poll identified the forum demographic (Outside the habbo secion) was 16-17 almost a year ago, which means it's probably closer to 17-18 now which means that the people just on the fringe of that probably went off to university in the Autumn or started working (No doubt many will stop using the forum then for various reasons, they probably continued for a while in Autumn when they're just meeting new people and then Christmas is enough of a distraction to stop altogether), then I suppose next year will probably be a massive issue in terms of this as much of the demographic will leave (Around half) and the year after you've got the entire forum core demographic either at university or working which is probably the largest threat for the forum dying in the next few years. Getting newer members involved in the rest of the forum is probably the single biggest problem this forum faces.

y'know i still think the technology forum is far more hostile than spam nowadays.

I'd agree with that, we tend to shun people who don't understand what they're talking about.
