The Box ~ Have your say

[dbgtz]

Before I go on, generally speaking I do enjoy reading it and sometimes wish it was a bit longer).

I think my biggest gripe is the "funny" quote section. I'm not sure if it's because nobody submits quotes so whoever does that bit has to find something someone said to them to fill it, but every single quote has been from Habbox staff of which most held a senior position at the time and most of them aren't really funny unless you were either there in the moment or know them. I think my point is there's such a huge focus on staff in the magazine for the most part and it puts me off it a bit. Perhaps to counter the staff focus, have some kind of member spotlight of say 1 inactive member of "great fame", 2 active users and 1 new member. For the first 3, you could show some stats/their kinds of posts, maybe ask a few things I'm not sure. Then the new member you just see what got them to join Habbox or something. To be honest I've not thought it through entirely, but hey hum. Or you could do as above and include gossip, like a habboxgossip lite kind of thing.

I was going to add that the furni spotlight seemed really short, but it seems that was only the case last month.

^Presumably most 'funny quotes' come from the Staff Quotes section in Staff Only? Or they could if they don't. I like that idea tho.

Also @RyRy; you're mean :@ go pick on some1 else for a change

[lawrawrrr]

Btw wtf did you do to the forum notice for this thread? There's 2 different links and in activity stream, the title "Activity Stream" now links to this thread??? lmaoo

@Phil; @Nick; fix pls what I wrote should have worked!

As it's a monthly issue the token rewards seem too small. I miss @The Don;s section, and remove Calum's picture from it entirely considering he doesn't seem interested in contributing.

Will go into depth later x

It's a reward for everyone who enters though, if it was a random number generator I'd up the prize!

I wish it was longer too, but it takes me so long to do everything it won't be expanding until some more people are willing to contribute.

Nope, noone submits quotes so I save things from chats and Habbo as the month goes on.

I'd love a proper gossip section but it's not really something I'm prepared to take on myself and I have posted a few times asking for people to take that on! I don't really get told gossip any more, what I do know is mainly staff stuff and confidential complaints so it'd be hard to do.

I like the idea of a member spotlight though

Ahh ok well if that's the case, I'm going to plague you with quotes from this point forward even if they're absolutely ****. I'd also offer to help with the gossip section, but I'm god awful at writing.

That'd be great!! On both counts. Editing what someone writes is a lot quicker than writing myself. Thank you

I usually PM writers the second to last weekend in the month, as I make it through the following week - deadlines are usually the Saturday of the last weekend (so 29th this month) but I'll accept anything throughout the month
