LOL!

Well I personally am not too much in favour as they are a 'quick fix' which doesn't last and the quality of posting does go down but good luck to those who wish to participate. Referral, word of mouth and maybe some attention to encouraging new members not just to register but post too maybe a better option. It's the same with 'giveaways' really. They sign up to get the furni then that's it, usually, whereas HXL and Events do bring in some quality members.

It may be a quick fix but at least it is something. I see nothing wrong with referal competitions either though. Any competition that encourages people to post, to me is fantastic. Why not have it so once users have made x posts that do not break forum rules, gve them the chance to claim their piece of habbo furniture? It wouldn't be too expensive and would make them more inclined to post.

Here's an idea:

-- Referal Competition:
Get as many of your friends to sign up as possible
They must make X amount of posts
You now have one point in the referal competition

Whoever has the most points by the end, wins. That way people won't just get any random people to sign when they never post, but they contribute to the forum - even if they don't realise it.

There are HUGE amounts of competitions you could do to get new members, that wouldn't definitely be a quick fix.

It is interesting how all the people moaning about this competition have no intention of trying to win it, and if they are so desperate for VIP virtually every single person who has moaned could have got their VIP in December

if new members carried on being scared away

I agree with most of what you're saying but why does this always get brought out? No-one's being run out of town, and anyone who's scared of the current lot here is likely to have a heart attack if they ever get quoted by someone. It's a very mild atmosphere across the board as far as I see, certainly far more tame and slow-witted than the years where (active) membership really boomed

Older users are not the future of HabboxForum

I actually thought this when I saw all the random +reps for people being ReBeLlIoUs by saying Oli's a big meanie pants. Ironic that in a thread that's turned into a discussion about the importance of quality posts people are using the absolute laziest expression of agreement btw that's probably the only time you'll ever see the word "ironic" used correctly on this forum if not the whole of the internet

Must admit, all we have to do is go to www.habbox.com/easterscores and look at the amount of new members. I'd say 40% ish are completely new to the Habbox community and, combined with the posting competition, should hopefully encourage them to stay. While it may look like "paying users to post" at first, if you use a site for long enough it will become your second nature to just visit it and contribute (after all, how do you think we all got drawn in? :rolleyes.

Oh and on another note, I am loving the name and shame here

What as if I've had less than 24 posts in the past few days what is this

Cba t type a long post on my iPad but here's my main points

- SO MUCH SPAM

- Great idea, bad execution

Care you explain how it has been executed badly?

Also, the rep points in this thread, personally I think they should be removed - I don't care what reasons people give they are clearly lazy idiots trying to show their agreement with people without posting.
