Have I missed something?

Who resigned? Because the merge happened last week right? And the only people that have posted news articles in the last month were yourself, Samanfa and runeaddict, and you're all still here aren't you? So all the people that left weren't posting any news anyway?

merge was about 3/4 weeks ago now which is when they all resigned, it just wasn't public knowledge till recently.

Ahh, that makes more sense. Who resigned, because I can't find the thread in announcements

Think resigning is a bit stupid.

Really don't see the issue here - is it not pretty much a cosmetic change?

I think he meant the people resigning announcements and not the actual announcement about News/Content.

not rly, more like a large increase in minimum including having to do other types of work they don't want to do (main reason they resigned from what they said)

Not having a go at anyone but decided to just look into something for the hell of it. Just looked at one person from the list who decided to resign and they only made 5 articles within their 1 month and 15 days in the department. Isn't that a bit low or is that just me?

What I am shocked about is that this has happened 3/4 weeks ago- there have been no announcements, no reasonable explanations (apart from Tom saying go look at some thread that I can't for the life of me find) and massive disapproval of this, especially when news was starting to improve.

No, resigning isn't radical when you signed up for news, someone then tells you to do more work for a department you don't like and are not interested in.

Matt, that one person isn't the big issue here, so no idea what you are contributing with that analogy.

Then you also missed the post where I said unmerging the said departments wouldn't be an issue. I was just waiting for confirmation that Habbox wouldn't be closing.

In a way News, Page Content and Graphic Designers are all part of a much larger Content Department in the same way as Forum Moderators, Competitions and Events Staff are part of a much larger Community Department, but to fully merge them and expect people who couldn't care less about Habbo news to write about it when they are content designers is a bit silly, there are clear differences between the two - one requiring staff to be constantly active and up to date with current happenings and the other takes their time creating pages to make them more appealing. Some skills are interchangeable, but the aims are different.

A merger only makes sense as part of one department with a broad name if they keep their titles. Content Designer, News Reporter and Graphic Designer. A Content Manager doesn't have to be a reporter or a designer by trade to be in that position. A Manager takes a step back and makes sure everything is working right and looks good. A Tesco Store Manager doesn't have to be a fishmonger, butcher, delicatessen, cleaner, cashier, shelf stacker, lorry driver and customer service operative in the same respects
