HabboxLive - Couple of ideas

[Foregetfuhl]

DJ Smurf and myself were speaking about some of the issues at HxL, its not only down to the sheer number of slots not being booked, its also down to the ever decreasing number of listeners we have as the name of habbox is being lost in the distance. It is true they have picked up since HxSS, but I wouldn't say it was a great improvement.

We were thinking about habbo and what people enjoy within habbo. A party room is already under construction thanks to Wigan and Jimmerh. And yes there are already events from the events team (which can also generate listeners if the radio is advertised during these events). But we don't have one thing which I know a lot of people use on Habbo... A casino.

A casino for HxL listeners to go to and bet to their hearts content. Not only would this generate new listeners and people to tune in by getting the name out of a new trusted casino under the name of habbox. But it could also generate a profit that could contribute to big monthly events with prizes etc. that are all based around HxL. Also this may help with the use of rare values as values are always needed in a casino environment.

We just wanted your opinions, but please don't be too rude. We are just wondering who would actually want to use a casino and whether you think it would work to generate a new amount of listeners that we previously may not have had.

Also if you have any other suggestions that would be fantastic

moderation and scammers are the key reasons a habbox(live) casino wont happen

BEST IDEA IN THE WORLD! lol.... This would be a good way to get a room that is regularly used to get the habbox name out once again...

I Think it's a good Idea, It could take planning people could trade glitch and start shouting out scam in the room which could also give Habbox a bad name it works both ways, so it's a decision good but would need some planning if it was to happen

Everything needs planning, you can't just randomly do things and think yep, there we go, LOL.

Hmm, swear a casino has being tried before, unless it was somewhere else. I remember when we had -danube-s' casino and I sometimes took listeners there, but a lot of the listeners at Habbox genuinely can't afford to bet, like seriously. Not a bad idea, but then moderation & scamming could be a problem.

It's a shame some of the old DJs' who did awesome shows of good quality and actually read requests & shoutouts aren't around anymore. I've tuned into a few people and they don't know how to DJ - sorry no other way to put it. They can't change between songs and backing tracks, their microphones are bad quality and sometimes even their songs are bad quality. Shame the standard has decreased majorly in the last year or so.

Theres not a new manager yet is there? Shame ,Jess, wasn't more active - when she was manager everything seemed to run smooth. Although I'm sure there are other suitable HxL managers - Grig comes to mind.

I'm pretty sure that GM are going to take over for a while. And I do agree with you about the DJs and microphones etc. I do believe Logan requested a practice radio for v7 so hopefully that is something that is brought in so that people can practice with the management or something to find out how to improve?

Yeah that'd be a good idea to have a practice radio, so they can do a show or 2 before they are allowed on air and they can get properly trained - it isn't hard to change between songs/backing tracks. Would be good if GM take over for awhile until they can find someone to dig HxL out of the hole it's in. Theres only a few good DJs' atm - Jade, Jas & Richie are the only ones that come to mind - only ones I've heard.

Would be good if manager(s) actually trained the DJs' if they aren't up to scratch, letting DJs' on air that have no idea what they're doing is crazy. Anyways just my idea - more perm shows is a good idea too as well as giveaways which I know you're doing Jade

You ought to see my notepad.. LOL scribbled on to death with perm show ideas, got about 12 in total for DJs to pick from. And I want to get giveaways happening at least once a month, maybe based on DJs input and donates? But something that would help a lot. And then the kind of giveaway I'm doing twice a year or something? As it is very very expensive.. LOL

Firstly, I have to say the name of Habbox wouldn't lost if DJs were making the effort. I'm not going to lie here, the DJs seem to go on air, speak after 2 songs and are just so monotone. They're always down in the help desk sleeping and going AFK, then just say get down to the help desk - where all the listeners already are anyway because they come from Habbox.

Why don't you go party in a public room or make a guest room or something. That's the whole idea and I really don't know how that's died out since last year when it was actually happening. If you think you're going to get listeners from partying in the help desk, dancing and A**** you're seriously deluded.

We were thinking about habbo and what people enjoy within habbo. A party room is already under construction thanks to Wigan and Jimmerh. And yes there are already events from the events team (which can also generate listeners if the radio is advertised during these events).

But it could also generate a profit that could contribute to big monthly events with prizes etc. that are all based around HxL. Also this may help with the use of rare values as values are always needed in a casino environment.

This would be a good idea, but first you'd need to do some things. Speak to xxMATTGxx or Inseriousity. and make sure this doesn't breach the Fansite Way in any way. Then you're going to need Mike's permission to create the room and make it an official Habbox/HabboxLive room.

Even if it's not against the fansite way, you're most likely going to have to confirm with with PaulLaFo or Jason_Fansites as they may not like the idea and decide to randomly take action, seeming it's never really been done before.

Then you need to put in account what kind of listener base you want and if casino users are actually going to listen to Habbox. It's all good and well getting people to come bet etc. but then when it comes to actually getting people to tune in, where's the plan there? I don't see where it can really link in tbh - unless you do "tune in for the code get one free bet", but then that's ridiculous.

We just wanted your opinions, but please don't be too rude. We are just wondering who would actually want to use a casino and whether you think it would work to generate a new amount of listeners that we previously may not have had.

Trying to give a blunt and honest truth, so don't feel as though I'm being rude.
