    In the hxhd when I was there, and a few years ago too, we had the intl group managed by the intl senior which worked out quite well!
    I mean sometimes there was only the senior and one other person in the group but still

    Not a clue if this still in place but it's a good example of where it has worked

    Would be nice to see habbox more active during the night with new members

    Okay so I'm at work so only giving a small reply right now

    I do think that I would love to increase the international side, and we still have international seniors/heads (well, until they quit) in HxL and HxHD in particular. There are (well, historically there should be) specific teams for international people so they have a chat with other people in their time zone and are supposed to encourage each other when it's generally quieter for the rest of us!

    We have recently (maybe a year ago) had a dedicated international manager but there wasn't a huge improvement even despite that.

    One thing I will say is that I don't think bypassing managers and having one International AGM will be a good way to go. Managers have their own visions and way of running their departments and should be in charge of that, having someone making big decisions over their head will not go down well.

    However, most of the cases will be silly things that need sorting - it's motivating staff, it's "help I have a problem with the panel", being online to supervise events or shows or something - all of these things are in the senior staff's role description.

    After Hannah left HxHD I had a conversation with Jake about having a new senior, and whether they would be international or not. What id really like is a core of international people who are really into promotion and integration, active in some departments, which can only help to recruit MORE of those people!

    I do firmly believe that international should be integrated and not separate though, to fit with Habbox's mission as a whole.

    Now, the time stamp is in my time zone but that's the time in which I feel it always dies on the forum. We need to find those from the West coast of North America (in reality) to help drive that dead space...

    Well there's a few but the hope would be that they grow as a result?

    Even when we have had people from that time zone active (and we do have a handful from there even now), they don't seem to want to post on the forum or get that involved... which is a wider problem with the forum as a whole I believe. It's attracting people and giving them an incentive to post!

    The only reason I suggested AGM International is because I feel like there needs to be someone in higher management with the power to make changes that's actually in the non-GMT timezone. I feel if there isn't, then we will be where we are now, with our current structure of international seniors and the odd international manager being in a minority where they hardly see management at all.

    I don't mean this to sound passive aggressive but what "changes" are you thinking? An intl AGM wouldn't be able to decide to change minimums or the way the raffle is run - for a few example - they would just have the responsibility for recruitment ideas and general supervision (which is definitely needed, but doesn't seem like an AGM role?)

    oh I totally agree. It's determining what incentive is best. I know the forum runs on the BST time zone so for me a "new day" on the forum starts at 7pm, so i totally understand. I remember when we have a large quantity of staff from the international side and even then the forum was not thriving.. (back in summer 2014 was a good time to look at) maybe ciphering what was working well then, and what wasn't we can take steps to getting that time thriving again.

    Wouldn't it be a problem with an international agm as well not seeing the other agms even though it would technically be kind of a separate part but ur on 1 forum making changes (if you were to do so) blah blah so you would wanna be working close to the other agms. like when me and phil were forum manager that was hard

    edit from seeing lauras post:

    might as well have an international forum admin aka chippiewill but active
