Have I missed something?

What exactly do the graphics department do then?

They design user bars no one wants, @Chris; joking.

Anyway, they design whatever a department manager asks them to (if they can be bothered to), so say report images, or banners for events as @Kardan; said.

WHat's wrong with the userbars? :L

When you say "if they can be bothered to", do you mean the designers be bothered to design it, or the department managers bothering to ask them?

If people want better userbars, maybe they could do that. Apologies though, I presumed they actually played a role in content (as one would expect given their role) - apparently not lol..

Basically, what @David; said about the userbars - probably both, think though near a holiday there will be so many graphics split between three of them as they don't even have a manager, kinda .

Well yeah, but I assumed the current ones were a result of popular opinion?

Can you not discuss this in your staff forums please? You're making Habbox Forum a horrible place to be.

all your posts seem to do this lol

anyways, why bother keep open a failing department, it just adds more mess and unneeded work for management. news has been dying for years and people keep trying to saying its not (always news staff). they have had enough chances to revive it over the year bu the fact of the matter is no one read's your articles barely.....anyone who does is because they are trying to win vip for posting comments.

wasnt there just a thread about the vip, and they scrapped it because only 1 person was commenting? something like that

Sigh, news reporters say it isn't dying because they witness it, they know what goes on behind the scene, they have had surveys giving answers and frankly, before the merge news was doing better than it has done for months/years - people were starting to take an interest and they were more involved, yes they were involved with gaining VIP, but some have continued commenting without the hope for it (as it hasn't been done in a couple of months due to various factors).

Why keep open a failing department? It wasn't news that was failing it was content, there was only me at one point and just before the merge there was me and @pasta; it wasn't news in the slightest - @Inkwell; had a lot of ideas for news, and she followed through with a few of them, but now can't go through with the rest until she hears the final result of the merge. I would say go in news for a bit, well no, not now, but before the merge, and see where it's got to now - even you would see the decline in it over the month period that we've been merged; it's explainable why it has, due to news having the majority of staff pre-merge, but saying news is dying isn't true for some; we can't see the hits counter, but what's to say those who visit Habbox for rare values, the radio, jobs etc. don't read news while they're on the site? It's a default for the widgets so they can read it, thus getting hits up more.
@Catchy; even had an image showing him how many times his page had been viewed and I don't think it was a bad number in the slightest - really, news could do with bringing back what people want and incorporating the forum more, that's true, but when we do that we get told not to or people get annoyed - that's why I've been telling those reading the reports to comment on the news report and join in the discussion on Habbox Forum, it's also why I link to the article in threads and giving a bit of what to expect.

Sorry, if this sounds like a rant I don't mean it to be, but news wasn't the dying department before the merge, since Janice has become management she has literally turned it around and it was nice to see a fresh face with new ideas - the thing I don't agree on is saying news is dying when statistics such as comments on news reports and the members in the department says otherwise.

I was just trying to think of a reason why the graphics department has a point ;l

The point I see is - management need graphics, but they can't make it public so they literally can't ask the members to make the graphics therefore they have the graphics team or they can ask someone to make it for them.
