Habbox History

[shikari]

whether you liked her or not jess legitimately deserves her place in the hall of fame for the effort she put into habboxlive over the years and how she kept the department together.

Your argument is wishy washy, for some reason you are under the belief that time spent = outstanding contribution, which it isn't. A hall of fame is to honour those with noteworthy achievement. Running HabboxLive isn't in my books a noteworthy achievement, it isn't as if she managed to turn hxl around and make it immensely popular, if anything it did nothing but decline during her tenure and then she just disappeared which is hardly a great feat. It's nice that you think anyone who gives a couple of years of their time automatically deserves a spot but if that's the case then it shouldn't be called a hall of fame because that isn't what they consist of.

No, it's a hall of fame. I explicitly said that all past managers should NOT be on there. People who have given a LONG time to Habbox deserve recognition; as well as those who bring great ideas. I believe Jess did both of these things; as do a lot of other people.

100% agree here. A lot of the arguments against her are about the end (where she was legit away) or for personal reasons.

Um... no.

I said a Hall of Fame is kinda there for 2 types of people

1) those who give a lot of time and dedication to Habbox
2) those who give an outstanding contribution

I NEVER SAID THEY'RE THE SAME THING.

hi akeam, you're a babe but i disagree.
she did a lot of work over the five years she was there, most of it between the 2007-2010 period.

And I'm saying 'giving a lot of time' isn't a good reason... If she did something to make hxl popular then fair enough but to my understanding that isn't the case

See this is why I needed some help to get all information as I only joined in 2009 and then didn't properly become active until the end of that year.

Five years of dedication. That's a hell of a long time. And deserves a mention.

To your understanding? So you don't know for definite? The people who were both management and DJs at the time said she deserves the place, so who are you to disagree? There doesn't seem to be that many people disagreeing with you.

Besides she did make HxL popular, it declined as many fansites did - with the decline of Habbo but it was still pretty popular a lot of the time, nything apart from towards the end of her mangement.

[Inseriousity.]

Chippiewill is right. It doesn't matter who writes the page, people have different standards as to who should be on there and more importantly why. There is never going to be a Hall of Fame that'll please everyone and anyone who tries is never going to finish it. I, for example, would put Jess on there. Regardless of her exit, she was the creative driving force behind many of the ideas that have stood the test of time. Not everyone will agree with that and I wouldn't expect them to but it does highlight the difficult job involved in creating a Hall of Fame and trying to establish fixed criteria is never going to satisfy anyone.

If it was up to me, I'd just scrap the whole thing. People's contributions to Habbox are recognised in the structures and ideas that they helped establish not whether their name is on a list. Now that we have a Habbox Wiki where you can search for practically anyone, working on getting detailed histories of people's high and low points might be a more interesting read anyway.

wow, get a grip

Your entire argument rests on "BUT SHES BEEN HERE FOR 5 YEARS" which isn't anything incredible, quite a few people have been here for over 5 years.

@shikari;

Hiya bethie (i hope you're bethie lol), I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes but from a regular members perspective, it appears she didn't do much other than stay here for a long time. If she did do something innovative then fair enough, but I can't recall her doing anything any other manager hasn't done except for staying here for a bit longer.

Wow, rude.

No it doesn't. I said she was a manager for a long time; as far as I know noone's been a manager for as long (and isn't on the HoF) s that's something. During her time as manager, she brought great ideas and initiatives to the department - many of which are still around today.
