No Events?!?

[FlyingJesus]

Can I ask why 10 events at the same time all advertising Habbox and clamouring for more people to join is a bad thing

Just to note last night Gina hosted a random unplanned game in her room just because loads of people started turning up out of nowhere and it was fab for all involved, but she felt she couldn't use the opportunity to advertise Habbox in case she got in trouble here

Usually I find FlyingJesus slightly odd with the sarcastic random posts everywhere but I think he makes a very good point here.

Why not just get rid of the entire department and let anyone host events on behalf of Habbox? I have started hosting events in my room on Habbo over the past 2 weeks and it usually always reaches 30-40 users and I would happily advertise Habbox whilst doing this.

I don't like the idea of having to follow strict regulation here, change my usertitle, be active in a staff forum, submit for assessment, take direction from a manager about how to do things and all that mumbo jumbo that seemed to happen when I was on a help desk trial. I don't know if it's my immaturity when it comes to fansites or just that I have not been around long but the internalised exclusive culture doesn't really help I suppose.

I would love to just host an event and slide in a habbox advertisement and be done with it. Habbox is a great community. But I can't actively advertise my event as a Habbox event whilst another is taking place with a whole 3 users can I? Lmao

You could:
- Create a thread with general information you would 'like' users to mention if they host an event for Habbox
- Create a sign up board where forum users with more than X posts could lodge there event times for Habbox users to attend if they wish

Habbox is clearly the most trustworthy and reliable fansite, but I don't think it's the most user active. Maybe you should seriously consider the idea as I don't see your current Events situation improving anytime soon.

I just read back a few pages. I don't wanna be rude but how is banning certain games going to improve events?

It's only weekly bans and it's still in trial run. It's just to try improve the originality and the variety of events. (One step at a time)

For now I'm focusing on getting more staff to the department. The numbers aren't doing well at the moment.

We also have a similar category, I contacted Alex and Hayden a while ago about expanding and adding to it but didn't hear anything.

I'd love it if people have ideas and would consider contributing either to the existing pages or adding!

yeah that's exactly what I thought! And I'd love to get updating the Our Events page on the main site too, but having no events staff in my department means that it's quite hard for us to get round it it Once you're settled in @Mk,; gimme a shout and I'll speak to you more about it!

I'm trying now to think of some more games ideas and things

That'd be great to work on sometime, alongside adding more events in the handbook.

Well I think you should organise a meeting with the events staff and find out what's actually going on and see why they're not hosting. Maybe offer a reward each week for the person who hosts the most events or something. Might give them some motivation of some sort.

I've already put in a reward system a couple of days ago
