Recent low activity

[j0rd]

@j0rd and @Inseriousity., you should both be ashamed of yourself. This guy is trying to generate ideas to help a dying site and you are taking the piss, especially Inseriousity. who is a "Community" AGM. With your attitude, this forum will indeed die.

What? read what Mike posted properly. He posted saying my post is why activity is down...
And also there is a reason why I haven't posted in the thread in over a week. It is just my opinion, Habbo is suffering which is having a massive effect on the activity of fansites (no need to explain why really..). Habbox is never going to be the same unless something is done with the source of the problem, which happens to be Habbo.

[Since]

I just had a quick skim read of the thread so if my ideas have previously been suggested, I apologise:

1) On Habbox.com, where the recent Forum Posts tab is, may be have that only show posts from Competitions section to entice people to visit or add a new tab for competitions with latest competitions listed in a prominent place as the Forum Posts tab.

2) If Habbox mgmt is rich enough, make a casino. Yes people might get scammed etc but people know the risk or a popular trade room. People visit these and having HABBOX.COM on the top of Popular Rooms list will get you more hits.

3) Make a popular games room like Takeshi/Carnival and try to keep it running for the majority of the day through various official hosts. This would once again advertise Habbox.com and get people to visit. Have Bots or Hosts say "WHILE YOU WAIT IN LINE, WHY NOT VISIT HABBOX.COM FOR MORE COMPETITIONS AND FUN" or something similar.

Times such as Easter holidays are the perfect time to make use of the above opportunities.

Yes but no need to reply with such a rude post to the thread starter or call me an "idiot" in reputation. No wonder this form is dying, it's because morons such as yourself are moderators.

That's fine. Welcome to the forum btw.



Says who?

We're not allowed to post answers without a spoiler on the forum, surely we can't have them on the front page of Habbox unless we use the long story option.

Habbox is already sponsored by Varnius' Trade City so the Trading section is pretty much dominated by that. Casinos are never a good idea in regards to a fansite I personally feel, any scams will just be referred to Habbox and make it look bad.

People have posted links to guides for the stuff without spoilers I believe. So I don't think it will be a problem.

Just because V6 was slow, doesn't make V7's slowness acceptable. It's a known fact that most areas of Habbox are suffering because of V7, mostly because "Oh yeah, that will be updated when V7 happens..."

It has already been stated why V6 is not being updated and why it will not be updated. Please stop beating a dead horse.

On the site if you click Inventory you have a widget for Competitions that you can put on your front page x.

I think a short

'If you want to know the answers, click here' bolded red or whatever and a link to the forum thread in the short story wouldn't be long enough to warrant the use of hiding it away in the long story.

A guide is fine, as long as if we post answers they're in long story as if I came on to Habbox.com saw the answers, I'd be pretty annoyed because then it's not like I can do it myself .

I did say have a link to the forum earlier so I agree .

I don't expect V6 to be updated, I'm just agreeing with @beth; that the lack of V7 means a lack of updates, which of course isn't a good thing I do realise that moaning about the lack of V7 won't make V7 come along any quicker
