Habbox staff tree

[nvrspk4]

As far as the whole GM - AGM debate goes, its not like AGMs are the Administrative Assistants to the GM. Let me compare it to a corporation (which is a dangerous thing to do, I realize, so please understand the comparison to a company is solely to foster understanding, not to say that Habbox is necessarily a company.)


Owner/Board of Directors (Sierk) > President/CEO (MAD) > Regional Managers (AGMs) > Managers (Managers) > Assistant Managers > Employees (Normal Staff).

It doesn't have to be Regional either, it could be general things. For example, one person might be in charge of Product Management, but they would have teams under them, for example Microsoft might have a Zune team, an XBox Team, etc, and those would be the departments. But they'd also have a marketing team, under which there would be subdepartments.

So an AGM isn't exactly an administrative assistant, they're one level below, and they assist the GM by taking care of general areas paying specific attention to those areas. But we also do do things for MAD specifically to assist him with his workload. I get plenty of PMs from him asking me to take care of things that he doesn't have time to.


On the topic of the forum, and forum manager, yes the Forum is a very large part of Habbox. Its size may be distorted, because we are all writing this *on* the forum, and I would assume Gomme, that you use the Forum and rarely if ever the site, and RVs sometimes. However there *are* people who just use RVs and would argue that the forum is a little part of Habbox. We just never hear opinions from those people, or find out how many of them there are, because they don't use the forum. D'oh. So our view of the forum's stature in Habbox is a little distorted, and I guess we can't 100% know how the numbers of forum only users to forum + site users to site only users stack up, but I think we're viewing HxF as a little bit bigger than it really is.

Also, even though Elkaa manages the forum, and some departments run off of the forums or on the forum (IE: Competitions, VIPs) it does not mean Elkaa in any way has control over those forums. As strange as this may sound, Elkaa doesn't really control the forum, he controls its moderation. That's the position of "Forum" Manager, misnomer though it might be.

Can I be a manager I can get a good reference off Caleb

... Pointless posting much? It's a bit ignorant of you to think you can sum someones life up on a forum :rolleyes: I do alot of stuff in my life, HxF is a very minor part of it :rolleyes:

I just thought that drawing up a staff tree of an online forum is quite a silly thing to do. :S

I'm sure you do Josh, and I'm not questioning the amount of work the AGMs do at all. I understand what you're saying, however the forum has just outgrown the website. It's not a department, it's an entity in itself. Plus, MAD is looking after the sites and I agree with that. However, he's not just looking after the sites, which is the problem.

The forum has not outgrown the website. Habbox.com is still the most popular Habbox site.

Here are some stats (from the month of January) to prove it:
