News - 2014 to the future FEEDBACK

[FlyingJesus]

Well to be fair the department only has a manager, a head writer, 2 main writers, 2 trialist writers, and a trialist proofreader, with the opportunity for infinite guest writers to pitch in any time they want. Can't possibly expect more than 1 short badge guide with such a skeleton staff surely

I'm confused, was renaming the department articles meant to be some kind of get out of jail free card for having an entire department post 1 thing over the course of three weeks?

and that article (badge guides) existed when it was called News, so we're yet to see anything new.

The trialist proofreader must be rushed off their feet omg! That article does contain mistakes though so it's not like they're gonna be bored.



It's only been like half a month (feels more like half a century) since it was introduced so I guess we will start seeing the results soon hopefully and the front page of Habbox will be looking nice and refreshed once again! There was lots of positive ideas in the thread, its just seeing them implemented now- I heard one reporter asking for a banner for room reviews (woo that was done under news too |-)) so im guessing we'll see one or two of those soon. HOW EXCITING!


I'm hoping for lots of special world cup themed stuff, so that guests get an impression that we're current etc. I'm sure there's lots planned already!



At this moment in time though, I think there was more updates with LESS staff under NEWS. The front page really does need to be looked after a bit more if its going to be advertised in events etc to potential new members. The impression given is not so great!


I could go on for hours but I've just done a late shift at work so I'm super tired. (lucky you!)

I was super busy, didn't pay as much attention to news as it needed (hence why I had to resign) and there were more articles.

News had so much potential, it was just unloved

Awwww thanks Will! The only reason I moan so much about news and offer feedback is because News was my first manager role at Habbox, my longest manager role and the time where I believed I was most confident. Back then teamwork was a lot more important and I got on so well with all of my staff it was like a little family and I have such fond memories of those times! I think one of the most important things of any job is to enjoy doing it, and the results are much better when that happens, communication and encouragement go a long way and having a good bond with your staff and making them enjoy and have a passion for writing and being creative is one of the best things ever! I used to love sitting down on a Sunday night and writing out my reports (we had around 10-15 staff in the department then I believe) making a cute little banner for them, making graphics and geeky things and trying to introduce more fun and lighthearted things into them too just as a bit of a thank you to everyone for all their hard work! You get such good vibes when you can tell someone is proud of what they've achieved and its getting good comments and stuff, really boosts morale! Will always be one of the best memories I personally take away from Habbox and its all down to my staff who made it such an enjoyable and productive department to work in!

Might just work...

Shenanigans aside, is the department dead? Is it such a foregone conclusion that it's beyond discussion?

They're working hard behind the scenes
