Got Ideas for the Forum? Post them here!

I assume his lordship = mattg? was any reason given for no?

I was cleaning up the awards but i abandoned it for some reason.

[scottish]

I really do agree about the awards, I'm pretty sure when I go on there's random Iconic Design awards in between posting ones? They do need to be sorted, and perhaps go over the descriptions to see if they still fit and everything too. I'm actually not sure if there were awards for HxSS 2014 as I was told at Easter (so for Habbox Easter Eggstravaganza) that awards were being phased out for achievements therefore no one got them - obviously this didn't happen, but it would explain why there weren't any for HxSS either.

For the Top Posters is it at all possible to have 2 calculations, like on the shout cast for HabboxLive. It says something similar to 25 listeners (21 unique) would this be applicable to the forum at all, so it might be Posts in last 7 days 214 (200)?

The prizes could do with reworking, even if it's a trial period to see what works.

I'm pretty sure Member of the Month is based on discussion in most forums. However, some of the quiet ones are usually based on who posted and whatever if there was anyone - for example Graphics. That is of course if it actually gets a nomination.

When I was in Forum I looked for discussion within threads, not just creating them - as I moderated 2 fairly quiet forums and a larger one it was a lot easier to think of someone for the smaller ones if the activity was up. For example, one month I put someone forward for posting a lot of discussion mainly in the other entertainment section instead of someone just posting threads in film or TV (and don't follow it up with discussion). I'm pretty sure staff do go for the discussion more than quantity.

I would love to have another go at phasing out awards for the achievements tbh.

As for top posters I'd imagine so but would require editing it (i'm not sure if it's something chippie made, or recursion, or if its external plugin or what)

Yes ahaha. He wont like me for saying that Anyway I think the last time I asked I was told that with every plugin comes an added security risk. I suppose that is true, but I don't really know how many we can install before we start putting security at a high risk.

Used to have vBActivity, not sure if it's removed or just disabled. is awards + activity part of same one by dbtech?

The automatic thread refreshing won't cause a security issue so I don't see why not

I'm on my phone at the moment, waiting to leave work and I'll reply in full when I get in

Awards

1. Sort the awards page out (here) it's absolutely hideous, make ore categories for them split them up, for example have a 2011 Limited edition, 2012 Limited edition etc rather than throwing 800 awards in the one section
2. Keep up, if you're going to offer Limited Edition awards for donating at specific times (i.e. the Christmas Charity VIP) then keep up with them.. the likes of HxSS seems to have an award for 2012 then 2013.. where's 2014?
3. Are the awards kept up to date? For example 'the box contributor' (purely because its the first one I seen) are they actively given to the people who contribute towards it?

Calendar

I mentioned before that on the Calendar (here) there's an issue where it's 50/50.

For example if I click on a date it'll have 50% chance of loading or taking me to the forum index, then second time it might work or again, index.

Top Posters

Would it either be possible to re-create the 'Top Posters' list which disables non post counting areas. So for example (here) shows your posts inclusive of any post whether that's in Discuss Anything, Forum Games, Spam etc.

Alternatively, allow access to the list that's used to generate the current weekly posters (or that's meant to be weekly posters, but that's another point)

Automatic updates

Would something like this be possible? http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/produ...-ajax-threads/

It would be useful in situations where a thread is active, so instead of refreshing 10 times a minute it would auto load the new posts.

Non Habbo Skin changes

Can we get 'habboxforum' removed from the logo at the top

Also the 'events' tab doesn't seem to work it just directs you to hx homepage, nothing to do with any events calendar or list.

Weekly Posting Stats

Post them ;llll

but yes, as I proposed before change the system.

Firstly, consider dropping the limit as it seems to be very hard for typical people to hit the limit.

Let's look at the latest posting stats

Show Hide

22 - 29 Dec

15 - 22 Dec

8 - 15 Dec

1 - 8 Dec

Majority of the time, people very rarely manage to hit 50. Never mind double that (apart from me of course), so perhaps it would be better reducing it to maybe 75 as even that seems to be quite a bit higher than the top posters.

Secondly, the rewards. It's currently;

First: 250 tokens OR 1 week VIP
Second: 250 tokens AND 2 weeks VIP
Third: 100 rep AND 1 month VIP

I think a better method could be;

First: 250 tokens AND 2 weeks VIP
Second: 375 tokens AND 3 weeks VIP
Third: 500 tokens AND 1 month VIP

As it's not something that's won very much then it's not going to cause a massive influx or tokens or VIP.

Or even better, get rid of VIP and only give tokens but that's already outlined in my tokens suggestion thread iirc. so yeah let's not mention that here.

Also, the top 5 users should be given tokens for their efforts in attempting to get the goal (whether they have or haven't met the goal doesn't matter), so for example

1st: 100 tokens
2nd: 90 tokens
3rd: 80 tokens
4th: 70 tokens
5th: 60 tokens

or something like that, so even though people aren't getting the required amount, they're still rewarded for their efforts in actually posting.

Forum Event

We need a forum event, the forum is very quiet lately (except my threads).

Can we get a decent event, similar to the mole or even the Graphics one we had last year with the Draw Something. I'm sure I've mentioned this countless times but never get anywhere.

Member of the Month

How is this current set out to select them, i.e. do mods just say 'oh this guy made good posts' 'this guy was helpful' or whatever and award based on it?

Maybe we should change it to heavily weigh more on discussion and thread creation.

For example if someone posts a thread and it generates a lot of discussion (and decent discussion) and gets like 100 replies, in my opinion the MOTM should be more favourable of being awarded to that member as they're actively encouraging discussion and getting the forum active, where as someone replying a lot is doing it to a lesser extent, if you catch my drift.





I'm sure i'll think of other stuff to post but I can't atm. i want this properly answered and followed up for a change, sick of replies then nothing following up ;l like last time I posted a suggestion in this it took me months to get anything done and even then it was little from what I remember.

There's 2 threads already up (see point 1 and 2) that I'd like to be definitively answered as well as this post.

Shop/Tokens:
Something new is coming shortly and I'll be adding icons, what else are you asking about?

Arcade:
I'll have a more in depth read of that shortly.

Awards:
1. Awards like Nick I started but then abandoned when something else came up and never got back to it. It's something I will revisit in the future but it won't be soon as I have other stuff I want to work on first.
2. No clue where hxss 2014 awards are. I'm fairly confident awards are being given out when necessary?
3. If they're requested yeah, I can't speak for other departments but forum does consistently give them out.

Calendar:
Mentioned this to Site Coders last time you brought it up and Rhyss told me he'll put it on their "To-Do List" which probably means after V7 @Calum0812; @lRhyss; Update on this?

Top Posters:
@Wispur; @Chippiewill;

Automatic Updates:
This has come up a few times but I think it was said that it would slow down the forum among other things, I'm not sure what else was said, I can't remember but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Non-Habbo Skin Changes:
@Wispur; ??

Weekly Posts System:
This annoys me so much. As soon as I change it to what was asked ye want it changed again ;ll

I am not up for changing the limit to less than 100 and even though I'm not at all a fan I'm not overly reluctant to change it to a tokens based system. So I was thinking:

1st: 200 Tokens
2nd: 150 Tokens
3rd: 100 Tokens
4th: 75 Tokens
5th: 50 Tokens

and maybe like 2 weeks vip for anyone 100 posts + but have to see what other people think of that too. I'll be posting this weeks after this post :@ Sorry they're late, again, been working constantly over the holidays.

Forum Event:
Myself and Nick have one that we want to do sometime but after the jungle I want to make sure it's pristine before we do anything. I jumped into the last one way too fast and it was obvious too. But it's not as if we aren't bringing ye anything at all. We had the forum day during 12 days of xmas and we have something next month too for the habbox wide event that's happening.

MOTM:
I'll be able to explain this one better once last months are announced just so I can talk about it more preciesly and give examples why who may have gotten what

[scottish]

Shop/Tokens:

The other what, 4 sections discussed in the thread?

Awards

It's something that'll take like 20 minutes, why push it off?

MOTM

When are you going to post them


I expect updates on all point, cause they always seem to get ignored if not acted on immediately.

[Phil]

Shop/Tokens:
You mean the ones I explained why they weren't happening?

Awards:
Takes longer than that

MOTM:
When they're ready
