Question Time with the General Manager

[xxMATTGxx]

site skin 2010 is quite nice, since i use left post bit
the image resizing for one, isn't very useful on other skins due to being thin

Not as wide, bit shorter but isn't short short like SS 2011. I'm currently using it now, should be out in the next day or two. Just need to get some stuff polished up.

Question: Why did AGM content get removed, and can you function just as well as a general management team without one?

Question: Why did AGM content get removed, and can you function just as well as a general management team without one?

Good job I don't do what they say then isn't it?

On to your question which is a good one. AGM Content was pretty much replaced with AGM Development when Joe decided to resign those years ago. The Content AGM role was in-charge of the following:

• News department (and their managers)
• Content department
• Graphics department (and their managers)
• Maintaining the site and aiming to help deliver effective information to our visitors.
• Help improving the layout and design of the website.
• Ensuring the 'Content' on the Habbox.com website is fresh/modern and with the latest information we are able to provide. (Including images)

The only difference between the Development AGM and Content AGM at the time is that the "Ensuring Content on Habbox.com is fresh" was dropped and was changed to ensure technical aspects are up to date and working. The Content AGM was also pretty much the Content Manager until we got a manager into that as I believe we had Calvin and maybe someone else when Alkaz was around. So you could say it got replaced but we then made sure the "Fresh/modern" content was part of the Content Manager and not an AGM.

Can we function well without one?

I feel that is hard to answer because I can see why it wouldn't be an issue without having one but then I can also see a benefit in having that role still around. I remember Alkaz doing a hell of a lot content work and made sure the information on the Habbox site was fresh but also updated. As we know recently that has become a bit of a problem and I do believe it is starting to improve. If we still had that role then it probably wouldn't be an issue.

Departments are now pretty much spilt between me and Community Mike as you know which could be a bit of an issue at times. As I am then expected to make sure specific departments are doing this that and another, also making sure other departments are as well as I would like to know ALL of them are instead of a set amount and then do everything else. I don't mind doing that personally and not saying "Omg I have too much to do" as I've been doing it for the past god knows how long now. I think it would be probably wise to maybe having a 4th AGM or something that is specifically looking at content/development of Habbox.

I say development as you could put content under that really but we now have a group of Site Coders and it's most likely becoming more of a department. It would be wise to have a set person who managed them and has the knowledge to do that. It's something to think about for sure and see what we can do there.
