I must be blind

Those of you saying that we have no "long-term plans to bring users in", what aload of rubbish, I wasn't quite aware you all had insight into Forum & General Management's private forums & minds.

That's why you're the forum manager and we aren't. We can only see what's in front of us.

HabboxForum does not need to bring new people in, we get around 50 registrations a day and around 30 of those are legit, unique users, around 15 of them actually make a post

Send a memo to the events dept. Advertising is pointless.

(this number has actually risen since the introduction of the Welcome Committee which you are quick to slate although can't even see the forums it's used in :S),

How are we supposed to praise the Welcome Committee if we can't even see a difference being made? It's all well and good posting in their own little section, but if the rest of the members can't see it.. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The "New Members Only" forum has had nearing 200 posts from over 10 new members (this is in the space of just over a week) and what's more I have seen 8 of those members posting around the forums days after posting in the New Members Only Forum. If the Welcome Committee isn't a long-term plan for retention I don't know what is...

Again, pointless statistic considering we can't see the posts..

Remember we can't see your statistics and I don't go checking everyone's join date and how many posts they've done. What I'm asking is how you expect a special little forum encourage someone to stick around for months after they've joined? I admit it's a nice idea, but the hype will die down eventually.

There is no hype about the Welcome Committee and it will do nothing but improve, it's not something that people put loads of effort into at the start and then it dies down.

There will always be new members and some of these new members will have questions, so they ask them and the welcome committee will respond to them. Yes perhaps some members of the Welcome Committee will get bored but then they can leave the Committee and there will always be people willing to replace them, just like there are in every Habbox Department.

The reason you people cannot see the activity of the Welcome Committee is because the idea was to give New Members an exclusive area of their own and within this forum we've seen members of the Welcome Committee members running competitions for new members as well as answering questions/being nice to them.

It won't die down because there'll always be new members to post there and if the Committee is kept on top of, in terms of people who want to be in it and do the job then it'll always work.

That's not really fair because it makes me feel bad I even registered in 2008 so it's not exactly fair to give us nothing for staying with this forum yet give new members their own forum
