Donations

[rnix]

tbh I never know were donations go, I'm sure we had loads of stuff and the only event where donations have been used is HxSS cause EOs need to supply their own prizes still right?

Doesn't habboxlive use them? Oh but they get their own donation thingy right? :L

And competitions use them?

Thing if a EO held an event every week and had 4 rounds per event.
I used to give out like decent prizes and i just saw my furniture wasting away. If the EO's had a little help with prize giving then it would be more enjoyable and easier to host events, thus meaning more staff and events for the whole forum and more members.

1. Well tbh Graphics need to be made to make the site look nice as well as the coding. And if you have little to do with the site, why the hell are you a department? :S Seems pretty pointless if all you do is make banners. I could do that in my sleep Habbox might as well hold competitions to get people to design their stuff for them. Probably be of better quality than some of the banners on the site.

2. A banner wouldn't change anything tbh. It'll just be a little gif that no one will pay attention to.

3. Not necessarily. V6 is meant to be a major "overhaul" so having a banner rotator would look old school when you could just have something that's a lot more Web 2.0 than just a ****** placeholder for gif file. No offence to whoever designed V5.

Haha! You are so negative! The work produced in graphics isnt asked to be amazing. It's just site graphics. If it was a nonhabbo forum the graphics could be crazy amazing. Go sleep and make some banners then if you make them so good

People do pay attention to banners.

Also why are you trying to say stuff about the poor graphics quality when two graphics designers are in this thread? :L

The graphics department make most if not all the graphics you see around the site/forum/hxl except the layout...that's up to the site designers/coders/devolpers or whatever they are called to design.

Exactly they make the graphics round the site, so why was I told that they have little to do with the site :S

He meant the V6 layout and new site design i'm guessing..

Their isnt that much graphics needed to the ratio of graphics designers. Most graphics designers can finish the task very quickly.

Yeah, I remember when MissAlice donated something like 500 HCS + god knows how many credits, and said they had to be used carefully, and I don't remember what happened to them?


@Jordan - If you have a problem with the Graphics Department, make a complaint.
The reason we don't usually have much to do with it, is because the person that codes the layout, usually designed it, thus the graphics department usually has no need to create anything towards it.
Plus, we create more than just banners, but banners are an important thing.
Plus, the site can't go too web2.0 or it will lost the whole Habbo theme of it. Which the banners/images created by the graphics department help to stick to.


EDIT: + Yeah, I meant we dont have much to do with the general layout of V6, we still make some site graphics, just not the actual layout usually.

I'm not negative? I just have an opinion. And if the graphics aren't amazing then what's the point of having it as a department where people are hired?! :L You'd think if someone's gonna be put in a position they're hired in, they'll be good at it.

And I've never once paid attention to the banners, they looked too tacky for my liking.

Because they are not asked to produce mind boggling graphics just graphics that are needed. You submit your pixel work and see if you get a graphics designer job.

That is hardly fair towards any of the graphics designers now is it? The graphics are now of a very high standard, and there is never any complaints about them normally just compliments lol.

Anyway maybe we should keep this thread about the donations and not your hatred towards the graphics

It's just if the person who's coding the layout is going to make the graphics, what does the Graphics Department stand for? :S It really doesn't make sense. Martin used to make banners for the News Department, not exactly hard :L
And Habbo itself is Web 2.0 so why can't Habbox? :L
