Habbox.com Idea

Well I suggest there be more special reports. For example, a week or so ago Undertaker did a special report on rare values in 2009. That bagged in a lot of comments. Sure, you may say well that's going to the articles side, but as long as it is an issue people are interested in then it's ok.

Of course, the climate of news has changed over the years, and there is now spoon fed new by Habbo. I have always told Martin about the need for creativity, add a few nice jokes in there related to the article. Make it simple, yet interesting and professional.

Also, NO, I do not think news should be removed from the homepage. Sure, the comments for news are quite low. But stats still show that the articles are read and they do generate hits.

Overall, news that goes beyond borders is what we need. Although, we are all trying to achieve this now with a slight re-vamp of the news with the help of infrquent. Hopefully in a few months time we would have gained a lot of appeal etc.

they will never lose their 'traditional' colours which always makes it a vile orange

Good idea, maybe in the new version of Habbox it will be implemented, or maybe you could choose what is on your homepage.

That would be cool, would make the whole site a lot more interactive .

My view on this thread:

• Tbh the news department's articles are pointless being on the front atm, as they are just articles written by people, that basically HAVE to suck up to habbo, and say how good it is they now charge double the price for everything

Ideas:

• More community based things need a place on the front page - I would rather have someone to generally be hired just to change the notices each morning about todays events etc etc.
• Advertisements for competitions.
• Staff spotlight updated weekly
• User spotlight updated weekly
• User sent-in pixel art, small preview of the users work
• More ideas, that I will talk to the Content Department about.
