Sudden drop in posts

[Expling]

I recommend adding the ability to get habbo club or builders club with tokens that would certainly bring in more posts and people who will have to stay active in order to reach that option.

Habbox can't give users habbo club or builders club, you need to pay for it yourself (unless you can give it as gifts - but even then the prices would be the same as normal)

That is what I mean they Admins would need to manually process that stuff and buy it as gifts, or give 20c or 25c to get the membership in game.

Perhaps some forum events which involve posting could help improve posting activity.

I find that there is nothing to keep me logging into the forum... no1 posts decent stuff

Yes, but the prizes would be something that we don't normally offer just for posting around the forum e.g. a month of VIP or a compilation of different prizes.



I'm a bit hesitant with Habbo-based prizes as although we are a Habbo forum, quite a large number of our users do not play Habbo anymore (therefore making furni/creds a pointless prize for them). I guess that is easily solved by just converting it into forum-based prizes though. I'll see what I can do! Thanks for your input

You could do what I have seen many comps/events staff do, winner chooses between a Habbo or Forum based prize.

Have you not considered maybe reducing the amount of forums there are? There are 40 forums on the front page alone, which means the small amount of activity is getting spread across those 40 forums and is almost invisible to the regulars. I've been popping by this week and have noticed barely anything moving forward.

A band forum I go on regularly has 2 catergories, one for the band, and one for the community. No more than 13 forums (including subforums, only 8 are on the front page) and it makes it so much neater. It also gives the illusion of more activity which encourages members to post more. Might be worth thinking about, if Habbox can bear to change the old formula of course...

I agree. One example of this is 'Habbo In General' and 'Anything to do with trading / furniture' -- I think these two forums could be merged without problem.

We've already reduced some with our latest rule changes, we stuck to the trading and Bobba/Scam/Glitches forum this time! I'm definitely up for discussing more alternatives but without making it too difficult for people to find what they're looking for. Personally, I use New Posts the majority of the time so it's not such a huge deal for me but I do see where you're coming from. There are a LOT of aspects to this forum though so that's why it's as broken up as it is.

I'm not one to be scared of breaking tradition at all, however the feedback we got to splitting up even forums that I thought belonged more together was not great, didn't get much of a positive reaction (cries 5eva).

We still have quite a large trading base so I'm loathed to merge that in with something else (even though it's just ABOUT furni I realise)... although I see what you mean about the Habbo subforums in general definitely, there seems like there could be a lot of overlap?

I'd make Rare Value Suggestions a subby of Anything About Trading, and Bobba etc into a subby of Habbo In General. They're not used often and would still be easy enough to find by anyone who really wanted to use them, and they don't really have much viewing value on their own like Cool Rooms does. I'd personally put Support into a new sub of Feedback and call it all Habbox Feedback & Support since there are already support-esque subs in there anyway so seems to make sense. Less necessary but a possible extra if we're wanting to clean up is getting rid of Development Announcements and just posting them in the normal announcements area, not really sure why they're separate anyway and anything massively important can be given notifications and stickies anyway
