From our survey of course people principally use it for that but people also use Habbox as a reassurance because there are so many rigged values. For example, I often see recoloured classic rares that have gone up by 70c because of a rigger and people need something else to go on.

the thing is even if it's rigged to that that's technically the correct value for the time and people will be able to sell at that as the mp is the go by?

and to grig ye we have plans for news atm that are being worked upon! read earlier for a few

Plans are great and I really don't want to see news close, but when it's been really (even when I was there) ineffective for over a year now, then there is no point.

Hopefully all these plans you have will be what is needed, good luck with those .

If news (and I don't know this seeing as I don't check and cba to check) still cannot get its act together and get articles posted quite quickly,

it took them a day to post that they'd gotten best habbo radio!

If news (and I don't know this seeing as I don't check and cba to check) still cannot get its act together and get articles posted quite quickly, then yeh close it down and replace it with a bot. It's been like this for a while, so it's silly to keep a department that posts articles 3 days after everyone else has done so. Now don't jump on me, but if all you're doing is rephrasing articles posted days earlier on the forum or by Habbo, then there really is no point. I understand staffing concerns, but in that case have a news feed replace people. It's a shame, but there's no point dragging it on, unless there are substantial plans or efforts going on to turn that around.

As for the said moderator who said that Habbox is doomed, I'm surprised that you even have a job here with your attitude and your smug comments towards new members is the last anyone should expect from a moderator. I don't see how you can possible defend this "strong opinion" and still believe in HX to stay in your job. That's sheer hypocrisy.

The whole "posting news on forum" by staff seems to work quite well for ThisHabbo and HFFM and then they both include links from the main site to the specific sections. Although you've mentioned a bot which is different to what they do I believe. Posting articles slow has been a problem for a while and still is to some extent. I am quite surprised at the results of a recent survey with how many people have chosen yes and sometimes to them reading the news on the Habbox site - But the survey also suggests other categorises apart from Habbo should actually be scrapped for good.

Ok on the topic of news actually, I'm just interested if anyone would be interested in these sort of things which we could do -

--> techy stuff like jake was doing and should be doing now he's back again
--> trade advice and investment advice sort of articles based around habbo like back when I did market watch (I know that had a lot of interest back when I was doing it and had quite a lot of comments about it)
--> more sort of opinion based articles about certain topics that will hopefully be very interesting to read and will involve an accumulation of ideas and opinions from other people as well as writer, editorial sort of things basically.
--> any other stuff really

Also I do believe in the fact that a forum for news articles to be also posted into would be of utmost benefit for us really so will definitely talk about that with matt, have been thinking about that for a while quite a bit after all. Tbh reading the results of the survey have boosted my hopes a lot more though woo!

I don't see why habbox does news other than habbo(x) to be honest

If i want a review on tech (assuming by janice mentioning "techy"), i'm not going to (nor is anyone really) going to listen to a view of a teenager over somewhere like cnet, techradar etc

If I want to read current affairs BBC news, Sky news etc is always going to be most peoples first choice and it's always going to be more accurate (having a news sections where by staff are just copying news (by copying I mean viewing something on Sky news then posting their own version on Hx, not simply copy and pasting) from other news sites has always seemed pretty pointless)

Habbox should stick stricly to Habbo and Habbox news.

also while i notice, why doesn't a manager require the same name as their habbo

[Chippiewill]

Because Managers don't necessarily need to be identifiable on Habbo.

Is doing the tech stuff worthwhile though? In short-term and long-term. No offence to Jake but say If we went by the survey itself and the answers people sent in. It seems quite a lot of people don't care for any other news apart from mainly Habbo itself.
