Habboxlive, seriously?

[Foregetfuhl]

I've literally just gotten home from a weekend away enjoying Top Gear Live and the small part of time I saw in Manchester. I was not aware that this had happened nor that they were streaming. Myself and Gina have already spoken about streaming in peak time slots and are trying to sort it out at the moment. Unfortunately theres not a lot we can do except cut out those who aren't willing to work and praise those who do. I already spoke to Gina and said that staff bonding should be left until after Halloween but as shes marking herself as away she wants it done before she goes. At the moment I'm trying to write up a thread for the DJs to help improve listener interaction and stuff like that. We're trying to get DJs involved with Halloween events (to no avail might I add!) same with the staff song. We're planning chat shows with DJs, bringing in new ones who may I add have been DJing and doing their work load! Its a case of get rid of the ones who simply won't do the work and bring in those that do. I plenty DJ every week and go on when I can. I chat on skype yeah woopidoo. But ask any of the people who I chat on skype with its usually about HxL and what I am doing at HxL. I have countless lists of things to do and I am taking it one day at a time. The radio won't improve in a week, maybe not even a month but it will improve every little bit that myself and Gina can get it.

Oh no I didn't mean they couldn't host events at all. My argument was that I'd prefer regular DJs to have priority as they're supposed to be the more active but if no-one stepped up then I'd have no problem with a guest dj doing it. I also had the feeling that there were a few guest DJs who seemed to be there purely to host the big one-off events (for the recognition and praise) then disappear into obscurity til the next one which I didn't find particularly fair.

I've seen a lot of slots being booked looks great , I don't actually streaming unless I'm a last resort meaning if no one can go on and to save radio being offline during the day

Warn them if they do it (or continually do it).
If a manager's priority is Staff Bonding, well.
Good .
It's a requirement for those Senior and above to host events isn't it? Apply that more as it's not on. You're the manager they should listen to you.
That shouldn't be a priority, maybe change the way you do it, have a poll on the site asking which song listeners would like to hear staff sing. Get them involved.

I agree that you haven't been there long enough to warrant massive changes as of yet but I have faith.

Hey @Zak; went to Top Gear Live you might have seen him!

We don't actually have any heads at the minute we're currently deciding on who will get the position and a couple of the seniors have already booked Halloween events which is good (although I wish they would do 2/3 rather than 1 which is actually what I'm about to speak to them about right now! Just put my dirty laundry in the bin HAHA) but we're trying to push everyone if you get me? I know what I wanted and when I wanted it I just think Gina disagreed is all. Same with the staff song. I felt there was no need as we've only recently done a staff song.. but obviously with the serious changes in staff this was something that Gina wanted to do.

I may have! BUT IT WAS PACKED!!

I think what you could do is delegate roles to the staff, seniors could do a little more to show they're worthy of being a head DJ, get them to do little things that they did previously. Same with normal DJs, push them to host events (like you're doing now). Remember though Halloween doesn't last that long and the hype isn't as big as it is with Christmas or Summer at Habbox so perhaps 1 is enough (considering there's what 3/4 Seniors); plus the events you've planned too.

Well we have 3 seniors atm as one is marked as away (silly Hurricane choosing Halloween!) But i do love Halloween and I actually have already planned Christmas events.. (how sad am i.. -_-) And we're redoing the Senior roles at the moment to loosen the Head DJ roles as the Head DJs do have to do A LOT! Such as mentoring the trialists as when your a Head DJ you are mentoring a whole team not just a few trialists and things like that. And I always said that the radio djs should do one sort of event even if its just one a month!

Yeh, Guest DJs are allowed to organize events- every little bit helps.

Staff songs etc. can all be put to the back-burner. There are two main things needed- quality in terms of DJs and quality.

I came on to listen to the radio for the first time in a while a few days back and ended up tuning out because a DJ was dull and did not make the show interesting. Honestly, I thought they were put there to make listeners fall asleep or to repeat the same phrases in between every song. Then, I go tune into ThisHabbo and the DJ quality there is at a whole other level- it was dynamic, interesting etc.

Moreover, listeners are a priority. Streaming only depletes them. I saw Martin with 30 listeners streaming, you can get lots more actually doing a show.

BIG SHOWS!!! Those are needed, Mike shared that vision with me for all these things to go ahead like plays, call-in stuff etc. Make yourself unique and it will grab attention. Make it dull and boring, and it'll lose listeners. Hopefully, we'll see some more of those soon.

The other priority, is make sure the DJs are right in your wings by constant communication, rather than not knowing who's where or what.

I would like to think myself and Gina are doing this along with the senior DJs. Its safe to say there isn't one DJ who I don't try to talk to on a daily basis if I can.

We are sorting out the quality and we know there are a few major issues with quality of the DJs we are trying to help those who aren't exactly up to par with constant feedback and help but unfortunately if they don't improve we may have to just let them go. HabboxLive needs to have this quality I completely agree and we will be focusing on that in future along with listener interaction and involvement with events and other departments. DJs are starting to DJ more yes. But not at the times that should be djed. Whether this is because they have their favourite programmes on or because they are eating dinner I don't know. HabboxLive is a work in progress and it will be sorted. I promise you that.

Not saying that you weren't doing that, just giving tips! I stopped doing that for a period and it was a nightmare, so had to spend a while contacting people.

I agree the Head DJ role is a bit too intense atm and needs a few tweaks.

Also, HxL also really needs an international manager to focus on that side as-well .
