There is no fix at all. Maybe limited time fixes, but nothing long term.
I'm not bickering at all, just trying to put my point across.

Your attitude is one of the staff members I was highlighting. Never in all the years i've used Habbox have I seen somebody with such a negative attitude towards helping the fansite improve. Previous management would not have stood for your attitude. Put yourself into a working life situation here, your business has declined in customers because a competitor has better ideas and a better product than your company. Your boss sits you down and asks for ways to try improve the situation and your response would be that there is no fix, no point even trying, jump ship, your boss would be amazed and be printing out your p45 for you!
Maybe you've never been in that situation in your life but if your negative attitude here potrays you as who you really are then good luck in life.

You keep saying that their is no quick fix or fix at all. This is total nonsense! If you improve the numbers slightly you then have a platform to work on by suggesting ideas as to how to keep these new members around and then word would spread about Habbox.

Back in the day Habbox is all people talked about, trade rooms everybody used Habbox, majority of rooms on the popular rooms list quoted habbox in their name or room description. Yes the numbers have declined on habbo but not as much as they have declined on Habbox. I remember Habbox Help Desk used to be massive, everybody's source of information. Yes we have this habbo help tool but who's to say that the help desk can better that, with correct management.
I cannot comment on Habboxlive as of late as I do not listen to it but years ago when it first came around I was a devoted listener with the weekly shows and competitions making it a great catch, those weekly shows laid a platform for the unheard DJs to make a name for themselves and give them an opportunity to build their own fanbase by following on from these weekly shows.

Getting popularity back up is not an impossible task and by god it is no quick fix, but with appropriate management, staffing and welcoming community Habbox can become popular once more.

I'm all for helping Habbox improve, why would I not be? :S
There is no 'competitor', Habbo is declining in activity thus having an effect on Habbox activity - making your situation invalid.

Personally i've had enough of all this "HABBOX IS DEAD", "IT IS RUBBISH COMPARED TO YEARS AGO" etc. Habbo has lost a good 70-80% of their users over the past 2 years or so, this will undoubtedly have an effect on the amount of users joining Habbox, amount listening to radio, attending events etc.
Again your referring to Habbox in the older days, it will never be like that again no matter how hard anyone tries. So don't expect it!

I wouldn't say its an impossible task either, everything is possible. Its just pretty much a near-impossible task. The only way Habbox will thrive again is if Habbo ups it's game and actually does something about it's own activity

Why are you even still part of the staff than? Your attitude is so pessimist and your thinking is so negative that I think it would be better if you quit the team.

There is a competitor and that is other fansites. Habbox ultimate objective has to be 'the most popular fansite' everything has to work off of that in order to achieve it. Last month when I was on frequently there was just short of 10,000 people on at peak times. This is still a large number of people, there are people to target to come and join in at Habbox.

Ask yourself why people say that. Because nothing is done to try tackle the decline, you as forum moderator should be suggesting ways to improve the forum what could be done to make people want to post here. I refer to the old days because it has been done before so it can be done again, I understand that numbers are not as big but at Habbox there is a core of users, some still play and some don't . There is always something to build on.

Just get BradtheLadLong to do a video about us! Instant fame!

Things in RV that need sorting:

2/3/4 for 1c + 2 for 3c
Staff system (A few errors)
LTD needs adding

Suggestions in news @Janice;:

Get a news feed or something, get it submitted to google, gain visits and possible members!
Have more news that interest people - A lot of the news is about things that happened days ago... no one cares because they already know lol

Site:

Update it Its quite old fashioned and a bit of an off put from other modern fansites
Maybe a user system that lets you see profiles? Unlike the current one

Events:

Weekly events
Different automatic games every 1/2 weeks or 1 month

What? Your making no sense at the moment. I said in that post that I'm all for helping Habbox improve?
Also the only negative thing I mentioned in that thread was the users being negitive saying the site is dead.

You must have been on at a super busy time then as most of the time at peak there is about 3,000-4,000 online at the most.
I do suggest ways to improve, not sure how you can automatically presume I don't suggest ideas when you're not very active yourself. In reality it can't be done again unless Habbo sorts itself out. In the times you are referring to Habbo used to have around 7 thousand online at a peak on just the UK hotel. Almost all users on the hotel used Habbox values, the radio had hundreds of listeners and events where almost always full. Now Habbo has around 4 thousand online peak with 4 hotels merged, a VERY little amount use Habbox values (due to marketplace), the radio has like 30 listeners maximum and events are struggling.

I can't grasp how nobody can see that this decrease in activity is massively down to Habbo and not actually Habbox.

You absolute hypocrite.



is what you said yesterday when I posted in the mod forums!

Yes but was that posted in the public forum aimed at any new member or young members of the forum? Nope.

You can't keep blaming Habbo on its own if no other major fansites is having these issues at this moment in time. Anyway, must go back to sleep.

You have been negative right from your first post and throughout with your constant view that there is no fix for Habbox.

This was only around a month ago which I saw the users online. Even still 4000 people there is still a large percentage of that, that could be Habbox users. In this thread which its sole purpose was to try find solutions and ideas on how to revive Habbox you haven't given any constructive ideas on how to improve things.


How can you say I am not very active? Because of my post count over the course of 9 years? Well let me tell you I visit this forum frequently and often browse through many of threads, I have never been one to actively get involved sometimes it has been my downfall but when I was reading through this thread and saw some of the negative comments that have come from staff such as yourself then I felt the need to say something and you Mr Forum Moderator are not going to dictate whether I can post because i'm not 'active' enough for you.


Again with correct management, rare values, Habbox live and Habbox events can become more popular. The Habbox community are here to help one another with suggestions, maybe it is about time staff started listening and showing actions.


Maybe a detailed questionnaire could be sent out to all Habbox members asking them for feedback, send a notification to their email addresses about the questionnaire, collate the data together and feed ideas from that. Habbox also had a strong community for non habbo players who liked to get involved in other forums, they seemed to have quietened down. There must be a reason for this ?

Mate, I know that. I'm just trying to help over here. I'm not "digging for staff" or whatever you think. It's just that Habbox is in a bad period and most people are not doing anything to help out. If they don't help out Habbox is eventually going to have to shut down!

You see the problem right?

Making threads about this doesn't even improve. I highly doubt your post will improve the forums activity etc. Not just Habbox this is happening, other forums too.

Not true tbh... this is probs the most active thread in weeks.
