Habbo forums, ONE forum?

[Yonder]

Maybe they will allow player moderators of the forums like runescape does?

Are you sure he doesn't mean he's moving to another meeting and he'll be available to tweet when he's there?

Then again, he does mention his staff so unless it's a rather large meeting with all staff, then it could be a forum board (like this).

He suggests that he will be using the forum instead of Twitter (possibly?). Him saying that he will be avaliable 'there' shows it could be just one forum, similar to runescapes forum (and ours) maybe!

I actually have a bit of background info on this. The forum change had began in a discussion between Rishell and I; I shared my concerns with her on her first day lmao, and then we spent like three hours brainstorming a bunch of ideas and talking about forum softwares and ****, and then about groups and their forums and such and yeah... It gained no momentum for the first like month, had to go through a bunch of different teams and all, but yeah... We did share a lot of good ideas with one another, it will be interesting to see which are actually implemented, now that neither of us have any actual input on the matter.

That was discussed.

The idea of a unified forum for all of the hotel to share was the primary idea, but then also to solve the problem of the group forums. But how to combine them was the challenge. Either or, the forum system needs updated, but the code is outdated and would need re-written from the ground up, basically.

Wouldn't the forum just be filled up with rubbish, like on Twitter it can just be ignored and doesn't have to be replied to, but I'm pretty sure idiots would just post anything.

Sort of worried what this will actually end up being but interested at the same time.

When Rishell and I were talking about it, it had remained a touchy subject, because ideally we all want the group forums, but most of them aren't moderated properly by their group owners/administrators (because technically, if it is their group they bare the responsibility of the content), and the moderators are, well, hopeless.

She did say that it would be their own custom code, though, so not a vBulletin; at least that was the plan.

That would suck imo, we don't need it all to be on Habbo Bit of freedom to say as we please on twitter is good!

Habbox will always be number 1 for me.

Though a Habbo forum would be great. Sadly I think it will be over-run with arguments and immature stupidness. I like Habbox because of the sophisticated- and older users that are still here. Veterans **!

That is very unfortunate of them to think that one forum will lessen the trolls and bad content. Moderation needs to be provided just the way it was in 2009-2010. I think most forumers will be upset knowing that there will be one common forum for all, what about those discussion forums that are supposed to be private (Armies, help groups like answers)?

I would just like to say this to everybody who thinks that the habbo forums were full of trolls and arguments, it is actually not the story, yes there were a few people who did this but that was when mods had left moderating the forums. group forums like answers, chapter and outback were actually very fun to be a part of, they were much better than habbox forum, in my opinion.
