Donations

[Josh]

Maybe a little more awareness about donating could be had but nothing that should receive priority. It isn't really important and the only people who are going to donate to Habbox is people who are loyal to Habbox and that usually means they're registered on the forum and familiar with donating and stuff.

Where'd you get that donator list? Must be pretty out of date since the last time I donated a throne was many months ago.

Did you get them from here? Or from the main Habbox site. (I didn't check.)

That is hardly fair towards any of the graphics designers now is it? The graphics are now of a very high standard, and there is never any complaints about them normally just compliments lol.

I'm not saying that they're not good. I'm just taking vegas' words and saying they're not amazing :L I do think the Banners on the site are tacky. But if you wanted to know my full opinion of V5, you wouldn't like it

Because they are not asked to produce mind boggling graphics just graphics that are needed. You submit your pixel work and see if you get a graphics designer job.

I wouldn't want to degrade myself.

Think this thread is going off topic.
Jordan - The graphics made are in the style of Habbo. You obviously don't like the Habbo style, so that's why you don't like the graphics.
If it was non-habbo designs, then it'd be a different story as most of the Graphics Designers are also amazing at non-habbo designs.
Also by not being too web2.0 I meant, going non-habbo instead of sticking to a habbo design.

Now back on topic, I still think there should be a scheme for donations to reach events?

[Sarah]

Doesn't habboxlive use them? Oh but they get their own donation thingy right? :L

And competitions use them?

Thing if a EO held an event every week and had 4 rounds per event.
I used to give out like decent prizes and i just saw my furniture wasting away. If the EO's had a little help with prize giving then it would be more enjoyable and easier to host events, thus meaning more staff and events for the whole forum and more members.

Haha! You are so negative! The work produced in graphics isnt asked to be amazing. It's just site graphics. If it was a nonhabbo forum the graphics could be crazy amazing. Go sleep and make some banners then if you make them so good

People do pay attention to banners.

Also why are you trying to say stuff about the poor graphics quality when two graphics designers are in this thread? :L

Arguably, EO's should only take up the role if they think they have a sufficient number of furniture to give out as prizes - but I understand that this is not never ending but is an actual requirement when applying (I believe?).

I have no problem with Habbo-style. I just think the banners are a little tacky and look cheap. The colour scheme is just all wrong in them And if it was Non-Habbo designs and used the same clashing colours, I would think the same way

Donations will never reach the events team because quite simply there's too little donations and as I said a banner isn't going to change that.

That's HabboxLive donations that list is always kept upto to date I know HabboxLive rarely get donations now as well, I dunno I remember a while ago both Habbox and HxL used to get a lot of donations I just think people don't donate as much anymore!!

Yes but its nice to have a little help so you can make more events and give better prizes.

[Con]

Maybe some sort of question/survey needs to go out and find out what sort of things people expect as prizes and if they would ever be willing to donate certain things to Habbox?

[rnix]

I'm sure that roxy will include a prize question in the event survey.

[Inseriousity.]

HabboxLive have their own, which now is veryyyyyy little, forgot about competitions but they prizes are like a few HCs a week hardly a lot though

Average 30 HCs a month. Hopefully, changing currency to credits which will be a bit more expensive as well.
Graphics Department make what they're asked and make them to a high standard! woo go graphics.

As for donations, I imagine there are probably a few more than the page would suggest as not every donation is reported (Whoever updates the page - roxy? - needs to be told that there's been a donation for it to end up on the page) and sometimes people donate via the (assistant) department manager. e.g. jess donated 20 credits to comps very recently. So I think a better reporting system could help, a thread in the management subforum or a PM (although I'd probably forget with the latter tbh). Also, V6 is coming so it might be a good idea to make donators more visible on the main page. Not entirely sure but I'm positive I've heard that there was going to be more 'donations coverage' somewhere (probably a managers' meeting)
