also just because you are nice and seem the safest best doesn't mean you should be manager. that seems to happen a lot at habbox

To be totally fair that's a screenie from a 3pm slot which no-one here had booked so she might have had more than 4 people when the event was actually on. Still ridiculous that our staff struggle to get 10 people turning up and HFFM have queues just to get in the room

I was just taking screenies of how popular the fansites were on client at that moment in time. There was obviously no event on for us and the 2pm one had already finished, yet HFFM already had 40 people in their room.

The hffm event currently has 4 people.




Not wonderful, not good I know, but I think 23 people is average, a lot of them are new people too!

In regards to the last part of your post, will we ever find people that will work hard every day to improve a department? If the answer is yes, why are these people not managers?

I don't think there need to be improvements every day, the department would have to be almost nonexistent for that to be possible but yeah as has been said, upper management are reluctant to actually approach people to take on a managerial role unless they're already 2nd in command, regardless of actual talent or ability

Thing is that this is far too rare of a sight!

Definitely and thats what we need to drastically improve so that we're at the top again.

Over the years I've seen it dip up and down, it's always been like this on and off and things normally bounce back in the end. This is perhaps one of the worse states I've seen things in, but that goes for everything.


The helpdesk often has no visitors, and when it does, what purpose does it really serve? Do we know how many new members we get via the helpdesk? Even when there are only a small handful of people in there? Maybe we could do more with the helpdesk, look at changing it into a habbox hub or something with teleports to mazes and big events and quests where people can win stuff on a more permanent basis.

I remember when I did the permanent "20c weekly habbox.com question" on the main site, and it used to attract hundreds of entries per week. The thing is, new members see lots of good prizes and instantly want to become part of it, its great for attracting numbers. So are giveaways, they are really good promotion and bring in heaps of listeners and visitors when done properly.

We could do a forum giveaway, where we put the codeword onto the forum and people have to access the forum to find it etc.



I don't think varying events is the answer to all of our problems, it would certainly help- but its about getting followers and regulars coming to events too, which is what other sites have. Their sites are fresh and current, their rooms popular, they have links with people, the overall atmousphere is completely different and staff work together more, the community pulls together more. It's all about the name and how it is represented and recognised on the Habbo client itself, mainly by events yes, but there are also lots of other strategies too. Get general management out there, people love seeing the fansite badge etc, and meeting those at the top, lets get Jin hosting an event, im sure that would be popular!


Things such as quests, mazes etc linked to the helpdesk with nice healthy prizes would sure to be a good way of getting people through?

This has been suggested so many times before, and so many people have agreed that it would be for the best. We have a v. good maze tagged under Habbox which often has visitors, it would be perfect to link into the Hub or whatever.

Not relating to the desk, but it's my opinion that Habbox still considers itself to be the best fansite on habbo and so are reluctant to change anything because we believe that they are still top dogs - we aren't.

Completely agree, I think the era of Helpdesks is well and truly over, and its time to modernise things, and big changes are needed. Somewhere to link stuff to would be awesome, like a Habbox Central or a Habbox Hub. The advertising within the room could be excellent, stickies and messages about upcoming habbox events... a place for staff to go and bond with each other simply, but in a more relaxed atmosphere than it currently is, and with links to exciting things such as mazes, quests and big events. Linking such premade rooms to this 'habbox' room would certainly be a step in the right direction I think.

[Absently]

I remember the hub thing was brought up not so along ago and I always agreed it was a great idea, because lets face it the helpdesk is really dying as of late. Yeah you could have like some sort of tag relating to help, but teles leading to different room. Make it like some sort of town (the main room) linked to properly decorated rooms, the grabber, the main events room (smurfed & bolts) just rooms where the community come together and design different rooms and shtuff

• Official Habbox grabber to raise funds (manager-only access to "dealer" area)
• Release V7. No-one gives a tiny little bit of penis flesh whether RV is ready for it or not because no-one uses RV, and if it's really that important it can be added later and pretend it's a newly thought up improvement
• More managerial freedom. Community AGM for example should be a role to rectify problems and oversee everything, not to create red tape
• Cassie to not bully other events staff into quitting
• Multiple events allowed at once (as long as CNB is posted BEFORE the hour starts) to make Habbox more visible
• Buy me shoes
