Habbox Live concerns

[ihatehash]

The thing about DJs, you can't always hire people with expereince, the best habbo DJs. Like Samantha said, they can only hire who applys. What people have to understand is that people gain expereince and improve over time and that's what is happening with HabboxLive. You can't turn away people who apply whos clip sounds good because 'you have no expereince' that's hardly fair.

The dj's are not improving, because there are too many dj's. When i came there was only about 25 DJ's and it was a really close team and everyone helped each other. now with over 50 DJ's people only talk to a certain bunch of people and don't help the new ones.

it also lets people who cba djing take a back seat while dedicated djs dj all the time like lindsey having to Dj till 8am in the morning which isn't fair
even with 50 Djs there is still unbooked slots like wth shoudn't all slots be booked if there are 50 able Djs to do it its not like they all have to go out at the same time. i think staff that are higher up should push people to DJ because people are taking advantage of dedicated Djs and just taking the back seat and not putting any effort in what so ever!

I agree with the listeners that are actually really low recently, but i don't think we need a seperate shoutcast just to train djs as that would take too long really, i think some djs are improving in terms of djing, but i do agree in the past and possibly now sometimes the behaviour by some djs arent very good around the forum or offical habbox rooms, also to add i don't think the ammount of djs we have is a concern really seeing as its summer now, so more djs will start going out more and gradually become more busy, so whilst the djs become more busy, we can almost certainly make sure the radio is online, which it is up most of the time anyway, i think the ammount of djs we have are a good idea, bigger staff list means more time the radio is online for.

I agree with pretty much everything, especially Richie. First off, I'm not saying that younger DJs are 'crap' because there are a couple who automatically spring to mind where I feel that they are excellent and pretty proffesional. I personally think that, with slight exception, Multi-DJ shows should be banned. When this occurs sometimes the DJs aren't as proffesional as they can be and for 99% of them I tune out unless their attitude remains the same.

Some of the DJs SHOUT DOWN THE MIC. I listen to HabboxLive when I write or read news (haha plugged it, go read news woo) but some SHOUT DOWN THE MIC and nearly deafen my poor little eardrums, and more importantly (kk I lie), I lose my concentration and start writing a load of crap then redoing it because I know I've gone wrong.

All staff should help others, and quite ironically, it's only a 2 week difference trial which is seperating a lot of them. I know I communicate with my staff a hell of a lot because they're nice people, life's too short to make enemies (peple who know me well know that I'm being very contradictive).

I like the idea of the CD prizes, it's just a matter of trust and how much Management can afford to spend.

Also I do like the "take it as a compliment" thing, Richie. Again it sounds quite contradictive because I argue with comps changes a lot, but whether it's Management or just the public we tend to come up with some comprimise which will help us all in some shape of form.

I knew Jingles were meant to be coming a long long time ago, where are they? These really help and I remember in the day when it wasn't just "Habboxlive.com live, loud and proud", now it is.

It's the morning so I'm tired but I think the way you act when posting (this is the feedback people) really helps because it's far calmer than some of the posts I've seen in other threads and it helps prove your point more, however persuasive you may think it is . Richie you're also gonna get some +rep for some valid points wooo.

Aha! Brain click. First of all, do you use full stops?!

The amount of staff is somewhat affecting it. Not the amount, just the people. It goes in two ways:

1) Everyone books, some poor innocent soul does not get a slot
2) Only half the slots are booked, a lot of the staff are away and some are just not doing their job

I've seen this too much and it really bugs me. It's the summer yet there were still slots yesterday which had to be covered. Also, recently (not naming any names), there have been slots where people book, then 20 minutes before unbook it yet are online through their slot? It is annoying for Habboxlive Management, the DJs and the listeners and I really hope that these things are noted during people who do this' report.

[hah]

time to bring in fresh blood (new manager) i dont have a problem with jess but she has been in the position for years and its clear they need someone with new, fresh ideas. Im sure if management thought she was a great manager she would have been promoted to agm or something because she has been here so long, but she hasnt.

As Scott mentioned previously, changing the radio player on the main site to a flash one like hxl.com would help. I did speak to matt about it the other day and he agreed.

I could change them over in seconds, it won't affect Joomla or anything, but of course I need management permission first

I remember this thread coming up not so long ago!

The thing about DJs, you can't always hire people with expereince, the best habbo DJs. Like Samantha said, they can only hire who applys. What people have to understand is that people gain expereince and improve over time and that's what is happening with HabboxLive. You can't turn away people who apply whos clip sounds good because 'you have no expereince' that's hardly fair.

The listeners have dropped quite a bit and i'm going to say what I said the last time, shoot me down all you wish but it's what I think is the case. Habbox.com - It used to attrat a good amount of listeners, Habbo introduced the market place it took people away from using Habbox for rare values, the lack of content/things to bring people back to habbox.com and sometimes the lack of Habbox events advertising us on habbo.

Yesterday I was talking to Jess about it and during the HabboxStarz show they had 80 listeners 50 of which were all in the party room so it shows that the listeners that are listening are indeed mostly from the HabboxLive site itself. The Habbox radio player should be changed to the same kind as HxL - I know many people who have complained about not being able to listen to the radio whatever the reason is I don't know that could be one of them. When comparing HabboxLive to many other fansites around then there is a decline in listeners quite a bit the likes of ClubHabbo gaining 30 listeners and peak times, so it's not just us.

I think HabboxLive need to have a bigger presence on Habbo itself it is the only way to get in listeners - I don't know if this has changed but when i was Asst. HxL manager i tried to get a HabboxLive sort of chill/chat room made, well I had it made I was just stopped from using it and making it an official room. Things like that HAVE to be done presence on habbo gains the listeners all fine and well saying use HxHD but it really isn't the same.

There is a rule for events organisers to have to advertise the habbox sites during the events, is there any rules about HxHD staff advertising? I know for one I do not look at room descriptions so I wouldn't see the sites being advertised and I very rarely see HxHD staff advertising - maybe that is something that can happen.

time to bring in fresh blood (new manager) i dont have a problem with jess but she has been in the position for years and its clear they need someone with new, fresh ideas. Im sure if management thought she was a great manager she would have been promoted to agm or something because she has been here so long, but she hasnt.

@Dinasaw - I loved that room you made! It was like HxHD only a lounge that was so chill. And you let me and Christina behind the bar and write all over stikkies hehe :p

@sex - LOL. True to be honest, I think although she's great, there needs to be a new manager. She's been manager for ages. Nothing personal against you Jess if you're reading this.

@Alex3213 - true dat

I have to admit i haven't read all of the replys as I have to go DJ now as there literally isn't anyone else to do it.
I have made complaints actually which I shoulden't say but I have about some professionalism in the department from senior DJ's as they actually make me feel unwelcome on the team, they are unproffessional themselves at times and don't have the standard of senior DJ's as they used to. I personally belive one promotion was unfair and wasn't given to the DJ who worked harder but maybe a DJ whos been here longer, I think this shoulden't be the case and the DJ who works harder and puts more effort in be promoted.

Another thing is kazopark I hate saying it so much and we get forced to and I have to stop doing my show and say something I don't want to and it annoys me and it shows in my voice and thereore goes onto the listeners and they too hate it, but you cannot expect me to say something I don't wanna say in a voice that says I do.

I try extreemly hard to be proffessional and at times when i've had to DJ like two hours in a row when no-o ne else can be botherd to DJ it is so hard to not be tired and run out of things to say however I do things such as saying little quotes from listeners which they want me to say one recently was actually ''wet cheese'' sure you want me to say it on air, It's you whos tuneing in not me I will try my best to get involved with the listeners and try not to be TOO proffesional but the point is im not a proffessional DJ i'm a habbo DJ and I cannot be something I'm not however I try very hard.

Habboxlive does need a big change, however when I mention it I get ignored unless Garion is the one listening, him and managment/senior DJ's have diffrent opinions which is why im so sick of going to my managers sorry Gem and Jess but I am, I'd rather go to Garion when I know somethng will be done.

That's all I can say I have to go DJ.
