    I totally agree with the international side of things. I think a minimum of two international senior staff or one manager should be compulsory in every department. They're on at a time most of us aren't therefore they can work on gaining a good staff base by going around habbo or something along those lines. If other fansites can do it and are succeeding, then why can't we?
    Think that would only work in hxhd (we have rosy) moderators to an extent. Hxl and events. News rates comps graphics ans content don't need that as its not a dire need to do news reports at 4am etc. I have grig as a senior in which you could class him as international depending of what country he's in lmao

Sorry if i'm being mean but to be brutally honest that aint an excuse, school runs through ~9 months worth of the year, so does that mean you can't work hard throughout those 9 months?
    For your information, I actually do have exams, so I'm trying really hard, it's just I will get my minimum done, i'm not aiming for high positions atm.

Back when we had a healthy international radio team on Habbox, the international side of the forum was much more active, contributing to the overall forum activity. Why not even try to fix something that is clearly broken. By saying "oh it's inactive lets not fox it" shows that you are content with the status quo of a dead international side, something that always frustrated me a bit.

    I also see no problem with Habbox-wide and HabboxLive events overlapping with one another, as the more we can give Habbox and its sites a push, the better.
    Well This is true, I can't see why Habbox can't have an International Manager. Most Fansite have done this and listeners have improved, as I've said before it's near impossible for Logan and Jess to cover these times, it would be unfair to ask them to. Habbox General Management and Radio Management need to seriously think what would improve habbox in the long run and I strongly agree with the International Radio Manager Idea. People need to realize that in order to get listeners and improve at night someone needs to control it and make sure it happens!

    right i don't use habbox or even check habboxlive anymore but i have been watching this thread because i do have a passion for habboxlive and as an ex assistant manager i would hope my points are educated and insightful into the department:

    jess is not a social butterfly on here, i agree but she is a lovely and hard working member of the team who does everything she can for habboxlive. no-one at habbox knows the department better than her, and it would fall apart with her.

    secondly: the department is dying and i don't think it can be saved. online radio is pretty much a thing of the past in all sectors, even radio is general is in decline. maybe perhaps if habboxlive cannot keep a healthy level of listeners it simply isn't worth being a 24 hour thing. i'm all for people enjoying themselves but jin is wasting money on this radio and perhaps it should switch to even a 12 hour day, or podcasts and then DJ's could get involved with the events department and see if they can offer more expertise over there.

    thirdly: habboxlive does not need an international manager, more head DJ's or senior staff. the system that thishabbo and hffm and whoever else has undermines the role of the manager. you don't need that many people doing what 5/6 people can do efficiantly. over christmas time when it was myself/logan/night/kristina/ey/y-zee as senior DJ's with jazz and tori as head dj's things were working fine, but like i said before the radio is in a decline and i personally don't think habbox should continue to flog a dead horse.

    Not naming the DJ but I have just heard the "be sure to register your copy of sam..." jingle come on. Then he says that that was him just testing his jingles and that they work. Then he says "I don't care if anyone doesn't like this song cause I do" and plays the lion king theme tune...

    I was sure that one of the requirements was to have a registered version of sam? This is what frustrates me about HabboxLive, I really like the radio as a whole but it lets itself down when the DJs do things like this.

    I haven't read the thread past this post and maybe this has already been addressed. I will find out because I intend to finish reading. Still, I have to say something.

    With all due respect, are you kidding - the best hours are taken so you don't want to be online? HxL DJs are there to do the job for the site, not be little internet divas clamouring over who gets the slot when the most people listen. You should DJ your show with the same enuthusiasm and professionalism whether you have fifty listeners or five.

    Furthermore, it is incredibly grating to hear yet another Habbox staff member use the "don't like it, do it yourself" when people voice valid criticism about the department. I heard the same thing from a Content staff saying if people don't like the quality of Habbox Wiki they can go edit the articles themselves. Not everyone has time to be a staff member and while it is a volunteer job and everyone certainly appreciates the work staff do to keep Habbox and its areas alive, it is also your job as staff to be staff. It is not my job nor any non-staff's job to be anything more than a member.

    I can't get over how you are talking like the slots are totally fine. Were you around when HxL was at its peak? Look the schedule. It is overwhelmingly blank. It used to be overwhelmingly ... not. Even during exam season. Oh, and before the merge - something that ought to have increased international interest in Habbox. No one is asking you to DJ more than you are comfortable with. If you can only do your minimum, then only do your minimum. That doesn't mean the radio is perfect and if we don't like it we ought to get on broadcast ourselves. The radio has certainly gone downhill and I believe the majority interest in this thread is to help fix it because it is something everyone is passionate about. That is why problems are being addressed like the lack of filled slots.

    Think about that before you snap.

If you became a DJ you'd understand how hard it is for us to fill EVERY slot ALL day EVERY day. It's impossible. The radio has been online a lot more since Monday. So if you think you can keep the radio on air for more hours then please be my guest because you'll soon understand it's really hard. Just saying.
    I hate to double post but I don't think you quite follow how the radio is meant to work. HabboxLive was never about the same few DJs carrying the whole radio. Just because there are fewer DJs doesn't mean they get to act like the radio is now about them instead of the listeners. The fix to this problem is to either find many more capable DJs like there once were. Otherwise, we can simply accept the fact that as Habbox declines in general, so does HabboxLive.

    Really, no one is saying you specifically need to get on and 'do loads of shows for us at all hours' and the fact that you automatically assumed it was directed at the current frequent DJs is a bit arrogant. It is meant towards the department in general — HabboxLive is dead compared to what it used to be. It is complacent and boring if you put it up against what it once was. Don't you want to see it regain the status it once had? Do you share the passion for the wellness of the site or department in general? HabboxLive has been around for a long time and some great people made waves by making it. I cringe when I see current staff acting like the radio started when they became a DJ and it ends when they are dismissed or leave.

    EDIT: To reply to Chippiewill.

    A standard wiki, sure. Not one with staff whose primary job it is to mother HabboxWiki. Face it, it wouldn't even have its mediocre articles if it wasn't babied. The interest isn't hugely there. It has never been there. HabboRator has gradually been slowing down to so few updates over the past while simply because the traffic and desire for the information is lacking and that is about the closest parallel to HxW that there is.
