Horrific Habbox Meltdown

[Alkaz]

As said above, the need for article is not their no more and obviously has not been for some time which is why they decided to close it. Their will still be good articles and content posted as the current Articles staff have been offered jobs in the Content Design department. I think this compensates for the loss of the Articles Department.

But what about all the rest of the changhes that are going to happen..this is what happened on Habbonade..i saw it myself and then weeks later they closed down, I wanred them just like im doing now on habbox forum, and they didnt listen~!

Habbonade? Habbox isn't some poxy fansite; it gets thousands of hits and has a massive community with tons of staff. Site management know what they're doing.

Articles were always a bit dull? Maybe if they lightened up and got a rename and revamp we would use them?

But until then, keep them gone!

Things I care about more than whatever this outragous topic is all about.

What's the point keeping something broken/unused? Although the Articles section is an old part of Habbox, it's not really that popular and it does seem to be proving itself a waste of time.

Also, Habbonade is unfamous and unpopular compared to Habbox. Habbox has it's super weapon, the forum, to keep it alive

:@Horrific Habbox Meltdown

Habbox Fans, Habbox Staff, Habbo Public. I feel it is time that I spoke up for those original Habbox Fans! Habbox is changing and it is taking with it, years of history. I ask you Habbox, please dont take away the article management system, do not take away the many features that make Habbox...Habbox. I ask all Habbox Staff is there anyway to protest against the changes. Afterall this is a fansite made for the public, and though the demand for articles is down I believe the way to solve that problem is to use a different strategy. Use different ways of presenting articles, if your struggling for staff I will write all your articles, for free, Ill write them all and send them in just so we can continue to help those Habbos that really want Habbox to remain "the best".

Habbox Fans, Can we have our own voice, can we make Habbox Officials change there minds?? In the words of Barak Obama....
Yes We Can!!!!


Please Express your views below......

Don't you understand though we have done what you are asking and expressed our views in the most effective way possible.

By no-one being interested or viewing the articles, that itself shows Habbox officials exactly what it is we are looking for.

Do you seriosuly think anyone will want to go to habbox homepage just to read ALL articles posted by you? I am a very experienced article writer myself, and as I have worked on here for a good few years now and saw Habbox evolve I really must agree that articles is something that has went gradually downhill.

However, this is through no fault of any staff and for you to suggest that habbox should just work on it and make it better is ludicrous - as that is all that has been happening for months and I have even contributed to trying to aid the process.

Articles is clearly an area that the current generation of habbox users are no longer interested in. The articles era is most definitely over, and habbox is a much more focused site segmented into more defined areas such as the rares and this forum itself.

Surely you cannto disagree that it is much more effective if habbox effectively utilises the staff resources they have and allow the previous articles staff to contribute to the website in much more hitting ways - rather than wasting their own personal time and energy that no-one, bar you it seems, are interested in.

If there's no demand for articles, then why should Habbox go through the effort to do articles? Habbox are listening to us, hence why they're getting rid of them.

I second that!

Exactly. As the Top-rated fansite by Habbo, Habbox has to keep pleasing and by doing that we need the staff to be focusing their work on things which keep people with Habbox. Articles - Nobody really read them, people weren't coming to the site to read articles. They were coming to view guides, check out rare values, listen to the radio etc.
So articles closed and as nvrspk4 said, it was for the best.
The articles staff can now focus on other Habbox stuff.

Habbox is going on to bigger and better things if such things as articles were highly active then im sure we would still have them but Habbox users simply do not use it enough for it to stay so that isn't the managments fault, its ours for not being interested in that area and others enough.
