Habboxlive Feedback

[Chippiewill]

the most awks thing about this thread, i got rejected as a DJ...

Why would someone active on the forum be denied, aren't they the most likely to be enthusiastic?

I also got denied, and I am an active member + a former DJ for HxL and to make it even better I am from a time zone of which is lacking ALOT of DJ's..
makes me wonder if the department is even cared for anymore.

People don't want to work at HxL, cause it isn't fun anymore. You go on air and you will be stuck for hours on air. ThisHabbo do it with masses of giveaways all throughout primetime and beyond. Jess believed that this was a wrong philosophy. I also did and thought that we could create stuff that other radios didn't do, like I submitted a show for a kinda Habbox/Habboy, E News!/ heckler type of show, which would really get the community interested.

But if all HxL does is have the same 4 DJs on air everyday, it won't work. People want fun and unique stuff. I was sorting out perm shows as well. However, then DJs weren't ready or left. Having no proper perm shows in so long is also very bad. These were always popular. Then there was proposals to do some newsbeats, which would have been really nice, but not sure what's happening with that either. There are ideas, even ideas for plays and stuff, but they aren't being used enough.

Bethie mentioned a good point about the karaoke. The reason it was always successful was because of the planning. It's not DJ talent or what not. It is hard to pull off shows with poor planning. However, not doing it would have been bad. For I had to set up that initiative as well as trying to get together stuff for other recent big events. I would rather we have them, then not have them at all.

I'm not surprised DJs are leaving, if I was them, I wouldn't want to stay as HxL currently has no major initiatives for DJs to stay. It does feel disjointed and I myself wasn't able to bring it together more. Although I was surprised Logan didn't do staff bonding in ages. I set something up before I left, hopefully Logan picked up on it. Alas, maybe radio fansites are a thing of the past and resources should be put into something more productive. Scale back, don't thin k of filling 24/7 slots and focus on the quality. That's what's missing. So when Logan was telling me we needed int. times filling, that was extremely wrong. You cannot say that when the UK is in a mess.

Probably missed bits and bobs, but anyway this is the gist.

It's a shame to see the department in the state that it is in however, im not suprised. Back when I was a DJ it got to the point where I thought, why bother continue DJing because at the end of day. It's not a team effort anymore, its more of a few people effort. In regards of Logan, when I put ideas to him he would always say to me, he'll look into it or that my ideas were not good ones and basically, he wouldn't give any more thought on it.

One of these ideas included the idea of getting news people on air to read some news. (Not instead of posting it on site but to add something to the shows) I even discussed it with Laura who liked the idea. When I saw Logan was not listening to me I quit. Because at the end of the day, I couldn't make a difference if the manager was not willing to at least try the idea out. I also hated having to stream alot because I couldn't find a DJ to take over. Another thing is, the DJ team are not as close as they used to be which doesn't really help with motivation. This is just my little bit of imput, thanks for reading.

I actually thought about this as an idea a couple weeks ago.. I mean it would need serious working out.. but it could work with the proper planning etc. Especially if you wanted them on air with the actual DJ you would need to make sure most of the DJs had VAC which doesn't actually work for most of the DJs.. I'm stll currently trying to find a 64-bit version to no avail -_-.. But this is something I had a thought about...

Well if you can convince Logan to do it and you manage to get it to work. I would be more then willing to read out some news on air. I still have my alright mic from when I was a DJ XD Im sure that maybe some of the other news reporters would be willing to do it too though you would have to ask them as I cannot speak for them. By the way, keep up the good work your doing for habboxlive.

I have a very big list of ideas in a word document on my computer at the moment lol.. Might send them on to Logan with a tweak because some of the ideas are a bit... stupid hahahahaha. Hopefully some of them will be considered

Just been reading this thread again and yeah its great somethings being done but Gina got promoted, mentioned in this thread that she should be. How come the idea of a promotion such as Emma, Gina etc has to come from a thread and not the manager himself, he should be tuning in as much as he can and making a decision himself. If we can just tell you people who should be promoted then jade should for a start, some more should be fired but it shouldn't be left to a thread or matt doing anything, you run that department it's your responsibility. Yes you may be away but who did you ask to overlook the department whilst you were away other than head djs as I assume they cant fire anyone?

It seems those you decline want to work for Habbox and of anything why not give them a chance over others, give them a trial, @GoldenMerc; did a stupid application for rare values but he was one of the most hard working ones in the department, maybe he isn't the one who jumps out at you but its usually those who surprise you and make a big difference.

I tune into DJs regularly and I decided that after seeing how hard Gina works both on-air and off-air (in terms of her senior duties) I decided to promote her. Emma was promoted under the same circumstances. I asked the Head DJs to overlook the department whilst I was away and even if they can't dismiss people they still have the power to issue warnings etc. If it got to a point where a DJ was breaking many rules then they would have been dismissed by GM.

Never received an application from Goldenmerc

i've only read a few of the posts in this thread but i'd thought i'd make a comment regarding the job applications.

if i was in logans position i would probably accept as many trialists as possible, because lets face it, the department needs all the support it can get at the moment. if the application was satisfactory and doesn't really stand out, who cares? you might as well give them a chance. where they may lack with a good application they may make up on the radio itself. but yh obviously if they sound like they're eating the mic and you can't understand a word they're saying i could understand for you not giving them a trial. perhaps it would be a good idea if some contact was made with some of the older djs?

i know @RedClifford; was a really good dj when he was staff. it's a shame he's unable to return!!
