Anouncments forum

I am trying to think of a way to split it.

How about "Management Announcements" where announcements by (A)GMs only are made. So managerial promotions, major changes on the site/forum/radio and other important things can be posted. We could also post job openings in here.

Habbox Announcements - For events, competitions, shows, staff hiring.

I just thought of that quickly there may be some other stuff I forgot to list that are announced often..

I like this idea.

I bet'cha wouldn't be saying that if it were one of your Productions teams announcements?

My god, you're right!
The Productions team would be forced to post their shows in a crappy little subforum that no-one will read because no-one will care about it!

Scrap my last post, I now think it's a terrible idea.

"Falling furni - absolutely terrible outcome"

"The habbox falling furni at 6PM today was absolutely terrible 4 people turned up and no-one got a prize cos i was appauled wif da outcome"


And tbh who cares if its a good outcome?

That made me giggle.

Where are all the events gone anyway? Were they told not to announce them?

Nope

A lot of the staff are away due to exams Events will pick up again in June

Yep, it would be much easier. Therefore in this way, I can view all the important announcements. I, like many others I think, only go to the announcements forum when I see something in the "latest post" which I see that interest me. With this, there should be less posts in the management announcements which can help.

What about:


1. Announcements - all items posted here should be considered important enough to be kept in archive. EG. Staff hirings and firings, management announcements etc

2. Habbox Notice Board - For all things that are fairly transient in nature such
as events, competitions, Job Openings, etc which are important at the time
but not in the long term. These could be then be cleared out monthly, perhaps.

If a split like that were to happen, it would be up for debate as to what would be included in which section. Personally, I think only changes in management and changes to the forum/habbox should be posted in the announcements part, because they're the sort of information that people seem to want easy access to. But the inclusion of staff hirings/firings and job openings could be seen as important to some people, but not others. I'd suggest a poll to find out what people consider "important" news.

Yeah that's not a bad split. I think what's really important is the split is made up of announcements that should be read, and easy to find and re-read at any time without having to hunt, for example anything that effects every member of the forum, such as rule changes, new features and major changes to the site, radio and forum, and separated from announcements that could be of interest to members.

Announcements should be for ALL announcements to be fair, just because it is on the forum doesnt mean it should be exclusive to only forum information.

I view habboxforum.com as just the community of habbox.com, not as a separate site. I agree that the success of the events isnt something that should go in announcements (lets face it we probably will never see "fallin furni a great flop!")

But events should be on the announcements I believe they are actually what causes them to be noticed more. Considering its also a Habbox event why should it not receive more publicity than other habbo events on our forums.

I don't see that having two separate categories of 'announcements' would effect this much.

What happens now is that sometimes a big change in rules or procedure is lost because there are just so many announcements.

Events are very important to Habbox I agree and the announcement of an event could get lost as well. I am not sure that 'results' of events are very important to the members but is a good way of checking whether or not the event has actually taken place with the screenshot. In that way it is a management tool.

Habbox is a big forum and site and anything that helps it work smarter not harder is bound to help. With the suggestion either staff or members would be able decide what's important to them and it would also be much easier to refer back to a topic when one wants to.
