Habbox Productions/Shows - What went wrong?

[Hecktix]

I'm not being rude or aggressive I'm simply arguing my point. It's not a case of "omg i dont like u u disagreed with me". I respect your side of the argument... however I disagree.

I think it's a shame Habbox Shows had to close as it had so much going for Habbox, as it was a pretty unique department.

I'm pretty sure there are ways around it, as I have previously said people don't lose interest in absolutely everything, so there will be ways to capture their attention, it may just take time & effort.

However without sufficient support it's not going to go anywhere.. however much that is a shame that something once highly regarded by general management would now not be given a whisper of support.

By the way, Habbox Shows failed miserably in early 2006.. it was regenerated after that.

During its life span there were several attempts to shake it up and breathe new life into it and it never seemed to get us that fair. We kept at if for nearly 2 years, so if thats not sticking at it and giving it loads of support I don't know what is. It never really worked as a department and the idea of doing one of pantomimes or shows around festivities does seem appealing but it just doesn't seem to really warrant a department. We tried and tried, kept on trying, and it lasted a long long time. Longer than it should really. It had a very good run. General Management were very supportive at the time however there just isnt much point in trying to bring back the dead in my opinion.

I have nothing but negative memories of you as a manager. There was constant favouritism and some ongoing arguments within the department. Let's not forget the time you told Gjay to "read the effing script" and got banned for doing so, and I think that upset Gjay and some of the other staff. I reported you for that, and I got promoted from tree to prince - score!

My running of Habbox Shows was efficient and smooth according to 8Freak8 and Sierk. 8Freak8's criticism of me was I paid more attention to HxHD which was a shame.

Yes I swore at GJay on the day of the pantomime, after some very stressful events. But may I add this was the only one time? And I don't seem to remember any favouritism? My running of Shows was continuously praised by General Management... so I can't have been doing that much wrong.

Edit: There were no arguments within Shows, all ongoing arguments were within HxHD.
Strange considering I seem to remember you as an active & fluent member of the Shows team for quite some time... and you never complained then?

The whole atmosphere in the department was very glum and I felt I was very undervalued at times. I didn't complain to you for fear of getting my head bitten off, so I thought I'd try and prove myself instead, but I did complain to general management at around Christmas time that year, and I made some other members of staff aware that I did so, and some of them decided to do so themselves.

The shows department was very depressing in comparison to articles which had a lovely atmosphere and everyone was friendly and constructive, and that was thanks to our managers over the time I was there. You could argue that that was due to the contrasting nature of the two departments, (one dealt with outside promotion of Habbo and entertaining people by getting them involved at 7pm on a Thursday and the other was writing interesting articles once or twice a week) but Sam managed to run what was effectively the same department in a way where there was a sense of community and everyone wanted to help.

I disagree here - Oli was always a fantastic Manager. The whole swearing at GJay was blown way out of proportion and was a one off incident after a very stressful time.

I won't comment on Productions though as I am a noob in that area!

Thanks David
I know I ran Shows well so PriceTags stop criticising it, there was no 'glum' feeling in the Shows Department.. well apart from that time Vicky-Lou ran it for me for a month...

I'm not criticising the department without reason - I found you very intimidating and very arrogant - and the above post just confirms that. The department itself was well run, but the morale in the department was awful. Vicky wasn't the most amazing manager, but the atmosphere was a bit nicer when she was managing for a bit, because she cared for the staff.

I cared for my staff. You clearly do not know what you are talking about. Within my Habbox Shows the staff worked together to put on the shows, everybody was given equal responsibility and everybody participated. If anybody had any problems all they had to do was PM me.. which they did.. Shows was always very relaxed, calm & smooth.

Can't say the same for HxHD when I ran that... but I will defend shows until I go blue in the face.

You did do a great deal of good for the department, but when anything that wasn't a normal show came up, the same few people were selected to do it. If I was as good as you say, why was I cast as a tree in the panto?
