Do something BIG Habbox!

[Kardan]

Content shouldn't be using V7 as an excuse for anything and I don't believe they are doing. Unless it's like some sort of specific feature but content updates can carry on as normal and have been doing.

All I ever got from Laura when she was head of content was that they couldn't add new content features to Habbox.com because of V6 being so crap so they were waiting for V7

[lawrawrrr]

Sam gets it worse because her role is very public, whereas mine and Chris' is more behind the scenes, although I have a few things coming out soon, and I've noted your comments from this thread to make Content more prolific.

Remember content is more than just the Wiki and v7 excuses, like I said I'm focusing on improving the current website in the mean time, which I thiiiiiink I've already done the bulk of! New features and things, I'm sooo happy too ad those as long as they're not too code-heavy I should be able to manage ;D

We all realise we have to work together to have any chance of improving out current situation.

Because that's what I was told at the time!

Also what I meant by that is like big things, alt generators etc, that involve heavy coding, the coder...[s?] would only work on V7 stuff. But some features, yeah I'm happy to push that now I actually know the status of V7.

Right okay, features and content updates are two different things. If it's features that requires coding then you are correct it won't be done under the present situation with coding in general. Content updates can still go on as normal though so that's probably where the V7 excuses may come into it.

It's good to see that the actual main website is now getting worked on now - just a shame it's took so long for it to get going. (Not just you, but whoever was in your role before you). Better late than never though!

I remember mentioning just simple pages that would have just text and images and was told back then that it was too much for V6. Glad to see that's not the case anymore though.

Well it's always been worked on, normal updates have been continual. Sometimes a bit slow, yes, but that's due to a lack of staff.

Won't be adding too much extra stuff, at least not things that are difficult to transfer!

When was this? The only way I would turn down ideas like this is maybe due to staff levels / if I had any other things they were prioritised to work on!

I thought updating the main site WAS v7

[rnix]

A lot of the stuff the content department are working on is currently hidden to 'normal' users as it's not complete but should be soon and we are constantly drafting up new things. The same old crap on a website gets boring.

My main concern at the moment is adding new and exciting content to the website, I've kind of left wiki at the bottom of the work load as personally that can wait!

you decide can go beyond 6 if it's difficult

I would ideally like to get a good list of official rooms that serve different purposes and aren't just general made rooms that people can go in to chat. For example, if we get game rooms they could sort of be unofficial Habbox events (if they wanted to of course). It'd be great to have them auto, so the staff could go for something different. With this and in rooms in general I'd like to see a HabboxLive party room (which I believe has already happened, thanks @Despect, so it's not just the Help Desk and then the staff there could suggest to people where to go for a change of scene. Also, I think RP games would be good I think I wrote in my reply just how popular some of them are!

Although, I won't be making it live or anything (I probably will submit achievements for members), so the achievement system is now a must and work is being done on it so much and I think it'll be something big. Definitely a way to get Habbox's name out there more, and yet another reason to advertise for something that I believe is a bit more unique than what other fansites currently offer.

Within the next month I'll be doing HxEE, and most departments will be doing something for the occasion. We're not having teams this year, but good old fashioned every man/woman for themselves. We have various awards (I do hope they will come in use though regardless of the achievement system) and some of the ideas the managers have had are great. I'd love to make a game room for this, or various ones whereby players could earn points for the games they play - I was thinking a head to head obstacle course sort of thing; however, I'm not just limiting at that. Also, the lottery will be within the HxEE period and I'd like to make that a bit more special and better than usual. Not too sure how yet, without just changing the jackpot, but we'll see.

I believe Habbo will want a Easter event, perhaps joined and this could probably tie in with HxEE, but if we do get the chance of doing an actual Habbo event for the Easter period it'll be the icing on the cake, especially with such a big event going on alongside it. As there isn't any information about this yet (I don't think), I can't really go on about it.

What I'd also like, as we have a weekly event and weekly HabboxLive shows currently (and monthly competitions), it'd be great to get new people coming/listening/entering those consistently each week or month - if we get that, even just one person for each doing that I don't think it'd take too long for their friends to get involved and sign up to the forum and such. This is currently happening in 2 of the departments I mentioned though and the 3rd is currently following (various things have prevented it before), but also with the aspect of events it's the more creative ones they usually want to see - the old school ones are fine but mix is the best. Although this isn't a monthly thing and a constant one I think it fits ok here!

That's 5 for now for you, off to bed soon so I'll continue the list later!

She does, it can be pretty brutal at times especially when Matt tends to read these threads then never respond to any of the points leaving it to the AGMs to deal with (if he does respond it's usually to comment on a rather arbitary post, his replies in this one for instance). Mainly it's because the feedback forum's main posts tend to be based around things that fall under the community AGM's remit so that's why it'll look slightly off-balance. Doesn't mean being content/staff AGM is without its challenges, more that they just aren't talked about as often!

Sam gets it more as there is more feedback threads on the community issues rather than the other issues Habbox may or may not be facing. It's part of their role to deal with these threads in the best ability they can. Then they can discuss the matters further with the rest of the General Management Team in our group Skype chat which we all talk to on a daily basis.

I do not need to reply to every single post in this thread as long as I have read it I can relay that back to them in our private discussions and go from there. My role is to be there for them rather than doing their role for them if they are around and available. So normally you will see me answer posts that I can answer better than what they can (V7 questions etc) Unfortunately for the people who do not like me then I have some bad news, I will always be part of Habbox in one role or another.

I do just want to publicly say that I'm really excited to seeing your ideas come live as I know they'll go down pretty well and I'm proooouuuddd of you! It's exactly the sort of direction I'm looking to move Content in! ;D
