There is a test server that habboxlive has i believe that lets users go on air and see if everything is working fine on a test server before the actual show if they wish to.
Ok kool i didnt know that sorry

Gems,x this is the problem I'm talking about. You've just dismissed feedback from not only your listeners but also your general management. If people are telling you things need to be changed, they need to be changed! Matt has already admitted that listenership is down already and I can't see that improving unless change is made. It's your job as manager not to rest on your laurels and try and make a difference.
The term DJs is daft. It sounds ridiculous and outdated and you'd be surprised what removing that would do. DJs are Disc Jockeys, people in nightclubs who spin records. Habboxlive 'DJs' don't do that. They sit in their room playing MP3s through SAM broadcaster. It isn't a relevant title.
I agree with you about the age thing, it's a young person's website and young people are going to working on it. You can't discriminate age, I completely agree.
The trial server is a remarkable idea. Dedicated listeners to your site have told you the level of competence that your new DJs are showing is not up to standard. You can't judge somebody based on a 1 minute clip. In Articles, we get them to write a sample article and that's OK because anything they do wrong can be removed from the website. If a DJ messes up on air, it's live and nothing can erase that. Also, people have stated in here very clearly that DJs DO sing songs a lot and you've just ignored that. I understand you can't police the site every day but, come on, you need to listen to people.
You can't dismiss something like a merger in one fell swoop. I've never understood why HxL staff are, on the whole, so set in their ways. Habbox is a site that's forever changing with the times and you have to move with it. Habbox 'lagging' isn't something I've noticed for an extremely long time and you can't say that your listeners aren't interested in other stuff such as news and articles because why would you put such text on the HxL website? I can see why you'd be reluctant but you NEED to try new things. You can't just say "it WILL fail".
Habboxlive needs to stop thinking it's part of a different website. It's part of Habbox and it needs to listen to the community.
Me, Gemma and James have been talking about the feedback and it certainly won't be dismissed, in fact Gemma's already looking into improvements but it can't just happen overnight, it needs time for things to improve. In regards to the site being merged we personally don't agree but if that happens it happens, at the end of the day it's up to gen management and it can't be changed by Gemma or James so if it does take place (which it probably will) we'll just have to live with it and see how things goGems,x this is the problem I'm talking about.

As Jess said, the two-week trial gives the DJs time to improve and in my opinion a 10-minute trial would be just as informative of a DJs skills as a 60-second clip. HxL is only a teen Habbo radio station, we don't need to give trialists a hard time and if they mess up on their trial they'll obviously be dealt with in whatever way is appropriate. It could happen, but imo it doesn't really have much of a difference to the current system.
I find it strange that all DJs/HabboxLive staff are somehow set in their ways? All we've said we're against is the merge idea and the "DJ" thing. And that's only opinion, both of those could still go ahead. A feedback thread is for discussion and you can't say that anyone's opinion is wrong or that they're a bad manager just because of an opinion they have towards certain ideas. I really don't want to sound rude but clearly Gemma does know what she's on about and everyone seems to be so eager to argue and dismiss people's opinions just because they're not the same as theirs. It is a Habbo fansite after all. Anyway, the feedback certainly wasn't dismissed and even if Gemma's post sounded rude or whatever else I'm sure it wasn't meant to. Gemma and James are certainly not unaware of the issues, and there are clearly a lot of them which will be looked into and fingers crossed improved

Gemma's post gave us a perfect indication that she has no interest in changing things for the better. She ripped apart every single bit of our feedback.Me, Gemma and James have been talking about the feedback and it certainly won't be dismissed, in fact Gemma's already looking into improvements but it can't just happen overnight, it needs time for things to improve.

I honestly do have belief in HabboxLive and I really want it to improve, but I just didn't agree with some of the feedback expressed in the thread, however it's all being discussed and we'll try to improve things as much as possible, along with other changes that will hopefully happen soon. In regards to merging, I do disagree with it, but I'll have to live with whatever happens. I apologise if my opinion sounded rude, because that wasn't my intention at all.

Dunno about that, ripping apart suggests that her points were valid and invalidated ours. I'd say "passed over"
i don't think she ripped apart the feedback - she has her opinions afterall she is manager as i said in my recent post we do appreciate feedback and obviously every bit of feedback in this thread will be taken into consideration.![]()
If you want to improve, I would seriously listen to those of us who have seen Habbox grow over the years, and fall. I am certain a merge would improve Habbox.I honestly do have belief in HabboxLive and I really want it to improve, but I just didn't agree with some of the feedback expressed in the thread, however it's all being discussed and we'll try to improve things as much as possible, along with other changes that will hopefully happen soon.

Just my way of putting it, by ripped apart I mean all of our feedback was basically told 'that won't happen'
Let's remember that management doesn't stop at the department managerAs a member of General Management I believe this thread has been nothing but useful, I think users both staff and non-staff have gotten a bit heated in the discussion and a lot of things could have been responded to better in both cases.
This has been a productive feedback thread in my eyes, whether Gems opinion matches that of this feedback or not she is still open to discussion with us and that's the sign of a good manager.
