easter extravaganza?

[Smurfed-]

Sorry about not posting them last night, something happened which made me unable to do so. They will be posted today though! Really sorry about the delay .

Did you post them? I can't find them!

Got all the threads just need them moving to the forums they're needed in. I don't think it's public, I'll sort that out now. Needed them out a couple of days ago at least, but hopefully it'll all go smoothly still with the delay!

[scottish]

has anything even been advertised for it yet? lol

It starts tomorrow and I still haven't been made aware of it except for this thread, is this another poorly organized event?

With big events you actually need to pull your **** together and get it advertised and build up some hype for it, not just abruptly release it.

If you don't have time to do your job and constantly have to put back something as simple as creating a few threads, resign. With the **** up of the last habbo event, I thought this would have went a lot more smoothly.

It's definitely not poorly organised, but we've been working on it non-stop for weeks now, as well as making sure we got the fansite event sorted too which we were sorting out on HabbCrazyForum and not on Habbox.

There hasn't been much advertisement, but I've been dropping the name in threads and the like for weeks, maybe months now which although doesn't seem like much it got people talking about it. That's advertisement in itself.

I do have time to do my job and I have become so much more active this past month or so, hence how much work has gone into this. I've been pushing managers a lot and vice versa for ages to ensure they were planning it and both sides knew what was going on. The only time that wasn't possible was when it came to posting the threads. I'd planned to post them (otherwise I wouldn't have said I was going to), but sorry something out of my control happened, and I'm not sure whether I should put my personal life on here as it'll get flagged as sympathy posting when that's so far from the truth.

Overall, the advertisement might not have been there due to whatever reason, but the planning is. If that's not having time for my job then, I don't know what is. Also you've been looking in the HxEE forum for a while, surely that made you aware.

I've not seen anyone speak about it, apart from this feedback thread asking wtfs going on with it

You answered yourself in the previous sentence, I made it easier for you.

I've been looking in the HxEE forum for a while what? The threads just got moved and I had a glance at them.

An event like this should be plastered over the forum, plastered over the radio, plastered over the Habbox.com homepage etc. Not you dropping the name once a month in some unrelated thread or some crap. Looking at habbox.com all I can see currently is the Draw My Thing event that's already been on for nearly 14 days, nothing about the next 'major' competition?

So again, why is there no advertisement on the event (and by advertisement I don't mean you dropping the name on odd occasions).

We've been planning extra things to the last minute, whether it be due to away time of management or management changes. I wanted to make sure all the planning was there to limit the chance of things going wrong, than keep hyping something up every day and then finding out everyone thought it was rubbish.

I agree more planning could have been done, as I never thought of Habbox Todays or avatars, I did forget about them. Hopefully, though, during the next event we do (which might be next month) the hype and advertisement will be there.

!?!?!

Anyway, there should be CNB, forum notification, hx today, habbox.com announcement, habbox.com banners, forum sigs and advertisements, etc.

[Mr-Trainor]

Definitely needs advertising on Habbox.com; surely not everyone uses the forum . Forum avatars are unnecessary imo, won't make much difference when you have it in your signature.

Oops, meant advertisement sorry about that!

Agreed, going to sort that out now, better late than never.

It's a bit harsh on Sam to focus so much on the advertising thing, no AGM has ever really gone full out advertising an event. I don't recall any event anyway, there may have been a few one offs which were advertised well in advance but usually all the details and advertising was done a couple of hours before it started. Perhaps "back in the day", the numbers that Habbox had helped spread that hype/word about the event as soon as it started so there is now an argument for advertising well before. If there is going to be more advertising done beforehand, I'd like to offer the suggestion to reintroduce images to the forum notices at the top. Yes people complained they were annoying but at least they stood out and got more attention than just a standard notice so I'd say the benefits outweigh the negatives.

Hype isn't really built up by advertising anyway. Hype is built up via creativity and being original. Draw my Thing wasn't advertised and it had something like a 6 page thread - never actually checked lol might be more might be less - before it even started (and that was only by a permissions accident) and it'd have had a 6 page thread as soon as it started precisely because it was so different to other events. That to me is the more disappointing thing in that HxEE, despite the months of planning, is still just the same as every other HxEE (and another fansite event maze, really! whenever someone said they were gonna do a maze when I was AGM I'd always think arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh). Come on Sam you were comps staff for years, I know you have it in you to put your own stamp on things. As I always said when I was comps management, much better to take the risk and fail than stick to the safety net and you were always the one who listened to this.
