V6 User Idea [2]

[HotelUser]

The problem is at the moment, there is no reason whatsoever to sign up to the website - so just thinking of ways to get people - I am sure there are ideas in the pipeline, but you know

As of the moment you would register to customize the widgets on the homepage, and comment on news and rarevalues. Though that's not lists and lists of reasons it's still several compelling enough reasons for a first release. I want to implement more user interactive elements for sure though, so watch this space.

As far as competitions go, at the most I could imagine a page on Habbox.com explaining what competitions are, then listing them quite like the widget does but of course they direct back to the forum where the users would still enter. This would be beneficial because it would mean competitions would be advertised on the website, but of course still take place on the forum, so it's a win win.

Something to think about for when adding more stuff for people is maybe a chat box? Because atm, there's no chatbox on the forum - which some forums and I just think it would be a good way for people to get to know each other.

Can't remember exactly why the chatbox was removed but I know it was for good reasons so I would assume the same would be for the Habbox site.

a) Can't be moderated
b) Habbo is an advanced chatbox anyway.

Because it was lucky to have more than one person in it at a time.. and it takes up a lot of bandwidth.

Not sure why a chatbox is wanted anyway? You are on a website that is completely based around chat (a forum), then people want a chatbox.. to chat?

There are plans for General Management to run competitions for registered members on the site, however it won't occur until we have a stable website. I know Jin has been saving up a lot of credits to do something with the site in this manner.

I think in terms of the Comps Dept however, it's better to keep them based on the forum as it's a good pulling point for the forum in terms of getting habbo users to sign up. The comps widget on the site will *hopefully* bring people across to sign up to enter competitions and then start using HxF - kinda using all three sites to complement eachother and get people across either way. Habbox.com is the starting point for a lot of people that become Habboxers, we can all link back to stories of using HxValues years before signing up to the forum. I think of it this way, we attract them with amazing things on our website (which we let slip over the past few years, but now obv its getting better) then we get them on the forum & trap them forever
