    Doesn't even have to be a Habbox event but if they're playing a game and getting over-competitive on air and making fun (nicely) of some of the listeners then they instantly become more enjoyable to listen to. Might sound obvious but if the DJ is having fun, the listeners will enjoy the show more.
    For example @Yuxin; was DJing for two hours last night (11pm - 1am, maybe more but I had to go to bed) and we played Isolation at the same time. It meant she was enthusiastic and had something to talk about on air, plus she was making fun of me @) and Dolphins and a few others on air (playing @FlyingJesus; 's version of Barbara Ann, what a thing to behold) to interact with her audience a bit more.

    The problem with brand new DJs (they're always super young) that no one has ever heard of is they have no friends to interact with on air. Or they have a select few friends and completely ignore everyone else tuned in. Being a DJ isn't just playing some songs and occasionally speaking by saying something along the lines of "And coming up next is ummmm welllllll I thought maybe.. no actually I'll put on some jessie j *gigantic pause where we listen to a fuzzy backing track for 90 seconds* wait sorry i don't have that song let's listen to some coldplay", it's about interacting with and catering to your listeners' interests.

    Edit: oh sorry I forgot to say why I was half disagreeing with your point. Basically I agree that DJs do sometimes get stale but they can avoid that by interacting with their audience and having as much fun as THEY possibly can.
    lmao sorry tom! she asked for the beach boys but i only had ur version but was so great that i had to play it x
    i think last night i prob annoyed everyone though oooops haha however i had fun
    was impressed with listeners though didnt do any comps or anything and still had 20 woo

    def think more weeklys are needed though
    give listeners something to tune into and be excited for
    like snq everyone knows about and goes to hxhd for and has fun and its like a routine for them

    1 thing that bugs me tho is when djs think the listeners will appear from no where
    like mentioned above they need to advertise ahh even if its just going into welcome lounge nad loads of room, filling up their friendslist and then spamming them to tune into hxl because im sure some people would tune in at least
    or just saying in hxhd to tune in or a spam thread
    anythinggg uno otherwise people wont know to tune in
    especially with the radio offline quite a lot now im sure they dont enjoy tuning into no dj so having an invite to say that its online is prob a great start

    as for the minimum when i was head dj and james was manager along with the other heads at the time we decided to move the minimum down to 2
    at the time we also had about 60 djs and it was proving impossible for people to even reach it hence why
    with staff numbers like halfed i think a minimum of 3 would be easy to meet
    if you look at the leaderboard just see how many people hit 3+ or even 2+ so theyre scraping the minimum
    with there being so many empty slots i think that would def be good to bring it back up to 3 n hopefully thatd help like how long people are stuck on air for also with more people willing to step in espec so theyre able to reach their mins

    i think a lot of djs are free but just cba to reach past mins lol last night i picked up the radio from it being disconnected but had djs in the skype chat sayign about how theyre in a skype call
    unless they didnt have sam im sure most of them would be able to dj as theyre lit speaking in a call however the radio was put off and they chose not to

    prebooking is also a definite issue and i think you need to be harsher when it comes to it
    when i was a regular/senior i hardly ever prebooked slots but i never received pms for it like even if they are a head or a senior they still need a pm with a caution lmao
    6 slots are currently prebooked and its between 2 djs
    its a sunday and you have what like 20-30 staff still lol they should all have 2 prebooked slots by tomorrow 8pm
    but i think most cba because you can easily get away with it
    you can get more slots booked and done with them being prebooked
    also due to all the gaps they prob dont feel a need to prebook because i certainly dont however when people do prebook it should encourage others with more being taken

    Not sure how feasible that would be given the practicalities of HxL (it seems most DJs seem to jump on when they need to rather than book too far in advance). Personally, I actually think this is a more general problem of lack of Habbo presence and there needs to be a more co-ordinated effort between the community departments to get out there and sell themselves.

Basically I receive a VM whenever a writing competition or a competition where you can win VIP is released. Could we do the same with HxL so you can opt in to be notified whenever a DJ of your choice is coming on air/books a slot?
    It's a good idea but it would be questioned due to DJs unbooking slots, and not being able to do that slot nearer the time

    Out of plain curiosity, I just went through all Head, Senior + Normal (not guest) djs to find out their last Habbo login date. I would understand if someone hasn't logged in for a few days, but some of these people are just...

    Head DJs
    Jess / Jssy - 5 days ago
    Kimmy / Ripieno - 14 hours ago
    Kitty / XxZammyXx - 9 hours ago
    Woody / WoodyLFC.2k7 - 14 days ago

    Senior
    Bethy / KrazyBethw - 16 hours ago
    Collegno / Collegno - 20 hours ago

    All other staff except guests
    Katarune / dealerboy-1 - 24 days ago
    Rachel / Rachel_137 - 38 days ago
    River / Scumper - 47 days ago

    Tay / .:TaylorSwift: - 6 hours ago
    Undead / UndeadDevilHD - 16 hours ago
    Wubing / Wubing - 16 hours ago
    Tashy / DjTashyBackUp - 4 days ago
    Callum / cal296 - 60 hours ago
    Firefox / Ailurus - 16 hours ago
    Hurricane / Shockwave.2CC - 9 hours ago
    Power / Chloe7355 - 62 hours ago
    Aroonie / arunan29 - 15 hours ago
    Jordan / KeillerIsBanned - appearing offline, but ik he comes on a lot
    Small / Josh0202 - 8 days ago (i know he isn't away either as he was just DJing)
    Woodsy / lesbon - 77 minutes ago


    It might seem like I'm attacking certain people, but it is absolutely unacceptable to be a staff member for a HABBO fansite and have not logged into HABBo for over a month and a half.......... Woody is the only one in red who can be excused if he is posted away ( i obviously don't know) because you are only allowed three weeks maximum to be off.

    If you add together every one of those and get an average (rounded lesbon's down to an hour and converted days into hours + didn't count keiller) dj last login of; 181 hours ago OR about just over a week ago. Obviously the people who haven't logged in for excess of 20 days are going to throw the average way off, but it just shows you how bad the situation is...

    I realised this soon after posting. Instead could we subscribe to weekly shows? May not be useful to other people but I will need reminding if I want to tune in for a weekly show. I KNOW it's weekly so it's easy to remember but honestly I only think about HxL once a month or something so I just wouldn't remember.

    Weekly shows is defo something it would be good for, perhaps a poll could be done to see who would suscribe to it

    Hayden I'm aware and as said doing stuff about it in the upcoming month, it's a huge shame to see how low the activitt is

    I think a minimum should be added where Dj's come online, although i'm not sure how you would moderate that. They could just come online then log off again, so something needs to be added to prevent that, i'll throw this out there for people who have better ideas than myself to think of.

    even if one person voted yes (ME) that would be one more person than you would otherwise be getting

    worth it even if only a few people agree imo
