HabboxLive Feedback.

Who the hell has 16hours a week for habbox jobs pfft


~~from phone

[Inseriousity.]

some people do lots less, some do lots more. I did say on average and it was more guesswork than scientific fact lol so you can take it with a pinch of salt. Either way, admin work is still a minor part of the role being overexaggerated.

[FlyingJesus]

Anyone who doesn't give at least 16 hours a week to Habbox is a traitor and should be hanged, staff or not

@Empired; pretty sure the mass pimping thing is only done by retros, scam sites and other irrelevant fansites with no class. Trust me, the only thing you will get from a raid of the Welcome Lounge is only a hurl of abuse thrown at you lmao, and it will also leave people a bad impression of Habbox.
(I MEAN WE ARE SOPHISTICATED PEOPLE, ARE WE NOT???)
I like the idea though, but wouldn't it make more sense to gather at the Help Desk? Then perhaps you guys could then make an effort to creep all the curious visitors out by (pretending to) be nice, and force them to make an account on here where they will slowly morph into slaves and succumb to the Habbox addiction.

I'm not really familiar with the whole issue, but, I do agree after reading the thread, that yes, HabboxLive minimums do need to be raised, maybe to 3/4 slots. In addition, like what has been said, DJs not going onto Habbo do seem to pose a problem in terms of advertising and making themselves known of what they are doing, and I think presence on client while DJing should be made mandatory, solely to advertise and draw in listeners (which methods I will go into detail in the later part of the post).
However, some DJs are doing their job because they enjoy it which (I think) is the reason that leads to their lack of activity on-client - as they just wish to just DJ, but have no interest in Habbo (forever don't understand these people but yeah) so forcing DJ's to get on would drive them out of Habbox. Therefore, I feel rules should be enforced that when the DJs are doing their slots to meet their minimums, it is compulsory to go on to advertise, attend events etc. However, if they have met their minimums already but wish to DJ more, they need not go on client. (Does all this makes sense LOL )

So, when meeting their minimums, the DJs have to go on and do a couple of advertising as listeners don't just drop out of the sky. I think a key way to increase the number of listeners is through events:-
A. Giveaway
B. Auto-game
C. HabboxLive Homeroom
D. HabboxEvents

A. Giveaway
One of the reasons why ThisHabbo can get about 40+ listeners at times is due to their giveaways. These giveaways usually require a code to roll the dice to get a prize, which may be said on air, or simply is the current DJ's name or the song playing at that moment etc.
Giveaways are a great way to get people to tune in as the people will be listening not only for the code, but also during the wait for their turns. Who knows, they might even become loyal people who will tune in regularly.
There is a flaw in this, as the DJs would have to fund their prizes, but I'm willing to help and I think most others are too to improve the department. Some DJs are also unable to multi-task and it would be hard to both DJ and host at the same time, thus a fellow DJ could help in the giveaway in this case. There is also another alternative, which brings me to B.

B. Auto-game
There perhaps could be an official department auto-game like a wired maze where people could play during the DJ's slot while the person DJs. This too, will encourage the people to tune in as they are playing the game.
This would be also less troublesome for DJ's as they need not host, and the game arena would be easily available to them without them needing to have one of their own, and they just have to check back from time to time to give out prizes to the winners, as the game is, well, automated.
Prizes here are also a issue though .

C. HabboxLive Homeroom
I would also like to see a "homeroom" but Drewar's Party Suite or the Help Desk would suffice, as sort of a gathering place where listeners could gather together and chat. While it might be quite pathetic if there is no one else in the room, DJs could take some self-initiative to load up some clones to populate the room, but even without them, it is better than nothing. (Sometimes tagging the room with giveaway or shop would have visitors coming to the room) LMS here could help in terms of advertising and claimants for an on-air competition prize would also have a much easier life.

D. HabboxEvents
When all else fails, it would be good to actually attend an event, be it as a player, or just DJ from the VIP area. This will in turn populate the room and will draw crowds to the event, getting more people to tune in while they play. Listeners would also head on down to the event to play a game or two.

I think the HabboxLive numbers would steadily increase by itself as long as the DJs actually go on and advertise that they are on-air. More people would know Habbox and might be interested enough to sign up as a DJ, and the listener count itself would sway potential DJs. I mean, you wouldn't want to DJ to 2 unique listeners, would you?

Hope I didn't go out of point and sorry for bad grammar .

I agree with a fair amount of this, but some things I picked up on:

If a DJ is on air it's not always possible to go on Habbo, if they lag or disconnect a lot because of loading SAM, Skype and Habbo at the same time. However, I do believe there should be nothing stopping them going on even if it's 10 minutes before their slot, get people invited to the HabboxLive Party Room or the Help Desk and say tuned in for competitions, the event etc. On the other hand, I see where you're coming from when you say if they've done their minimum they don't have to go on Habbo, but why not? They should be advertising the department and not just their DJ time - I find this a little similar with competitions (which you should all enter at habbox.com/comps), we aren't allowed to advertise our own competitions without advertising the department as a whole too. I think this already happens as a lot of people just say tune into HabboxLive and ask people to apply for jobs stuff like that. It's plausible to do that way though, but I still think only going on when you DJ is a bit little too. Another thing I believe is that if you're streaming, then you shouldn't have to go on Habbo as there should be a reason why you're streaming surely? If you're streaming because you don't want to talk then don't stream and stop being lazy (a generalisation here). When I was AGM there was a Senior DJ who didn't like speaking on air therefore didn't and in the end he resigned, but it was unanimous with the HabboxLive Management at the time that this shouldn't be the case (I believe he got told of for it). So I guess there are some exemptions of why you might not always be on Habbo when you're DJing. I get where you're coming from though and I do agree to an extent!

The giveaway section - there's a HabboxLive Giveaway account that is generally used, it's usually funded by HabboxLive Management and whoever wants to donate to it (only Head or Senior plus, something like that has access to it). I think a lot of people would also help out with a giveaway especially since it can draw in a lot of listeners!

[Empired]

Problem I see with yet another "home room" is that we're just thinly spreading users across different rooms. It would be better to pile everyone in the help desk/somewhere else because then other users can see that the room is popular and might want to come and have a look.

Edit: oh wait there is actually a little area in the current Help Desk for DJs to stand/dance or whatever. That could be put to good use.

[Kyle]

an official habbox autogame (not just radio - every department) that PROMOTES habbox and has HABBOX elements is something that should be picked up on and pushed further.

giveaways only work if they are frequent and good. if you do 1 giveaway a week it will have zero impact so choose whether to do lots with a diverse range of furniture or opt for more conventional means of promotion through games, events, competitions and word of mouth.

To maybe add to the auto game/ room idea: Put it in someone's room who's reliable/no group room? Not trying to be mean but theres been many occasions where people (ex hx managers even ex agm) have helped/built rooms, dropped important stuff (eg wired) and then thrown hardcore super tantrums and picked it all up, essentially destroying the room. Maybe put it in an agms room and accept donations or give temp rights to help build or make a new account that only certain people have access to (like hxlgiveaway)

I disagree. If my idea do get implemented an auto-game do have to be maintained, with new levels added, removed, changed regularly etc otherwise it will go stale. It would be much easier if its a group room so the agm won't have additional workload and stuff and their life would be much easier as they do not have to worry about the furniture/wiring blah blah. You do have a point there as the room has a possibility of being trashed, but I guess we have to trust our managers lmao .

oh and sam, I feel that DJs after having met their minimums are encouraged to go on habbo, but its not compulsory, as I think some people prefer DJing over Habbo, and forcing them to get on would take all the fun out of their hobby and force them to resign. Sounds over-exaggerated, but I reckon that's probably the reason don't get on Habbo but yet DJ . @Samanfa;

[Sho]

An autogame is something that I've been working on. Not for a particular department though, just something to draw attention to Habbox in general. I've asked a few people that I know have built some in the past but they're not interested or they tell me they'll get back to me and never do. My wired skills are very iffy so I don't trust myself to wire things unless I've done it before. It's something that's coming, though (and if you're interested in helping out with it let me know (a)).
