Purely Ideas

[Samantha]

I remember I wanted to d a lot of events in February 2010 and began doin it I did about 7, then got fired. I jut think 4 is also too small.
I also think there should be more than 1 senior event organiser, suggesting that normal event organisers and senior ones do different amounts if you get me.
Like normal could be 5, senior could be 7. Just thinking aloud out here.

And I don't mind if the competitions aren't updated regularily, maybe you could update the thread once a week if the competitions last 5 days each? I'm sure you could spare an hour at the weekend just to ensure that or something .


However, I don't think it's Roxy's fault at all. I just think she should have help though, at least now that everyone is back in school etc.
I know events would be sparse, but I know if I was on the team, I would be doing at least 2 per week just to keep he department alive, trying to get more people to join.


What I notice mostly, is that we're suppose to be getting more members, but sometimes, there is more guests online than members which really annoys me. Can't you make something like just the announcement threads or Habbox threads visible to a guest?

Disagreed. With senior you have slightly more responsibilities, like the planning of events and also editing the approval calendar so if anything there's should be lower.

6 a month at the minimum I think would be a better amount.

And sam, we normally update the thread when we've PMd them or the other way round!

P.S. no because restrictions always put me off going on a forum

[Samantha]

Well I don't know how the system works so like I said thinking aloud
And agreed. That's one thing I hate resitrictions. etc.

Also, with events sometimes the announcements are a little late.
I'm sure Catzsy resigned a while back, surely the announcement could have been made sooner.

Then why did you suggest restricting announcments? If you do that it makes it sound like Habbox has no activities and personally that is one less reason why I would sign up.

Latter I agree with, I actually resigned around 2 weeks ago I think now, maybe a bit more but I still haven't had an announcment.

What Roxy could also do is activity threads, make sure staff are actually active.
As an EO you should be on the forum every day posting tbh. So she could give a deadline of about 3 days, if you don't reply, you could receive a warning (If you're away it would be different.)

Activity is usually checked by the time it takes for an Events Organiser to reply to the [Read] threads. It's assumed that if you don't reply to that thread, you're inactive (and in which case, you recieve a warning); which is fair enough imo. There has been a [Read] thread posted today actually, so it will be interesting to see how many people actually reply The problem is that people applying, getting the position and then for whatever reason... not doing events. Hey, Habbox has been having problems since the end of HxSS across the board... but events in particular is coming to stand still.

Also, I remember it being 3 events at least per month when I was there.
Overall, the only people I have seen doing events are some overseas trialists, Dilusionate and Mathew. I honestly can say that. I want to see others doing them more.

It's now 4 events per month which could probably be raised to 5. We don't really want to make it any more because that's what makes Habbox Events unique. Speaking from personal experience, I was invited to join the Events Team on another site the other day, but kindly declined due to being expected to host 3 events per week.

I know Roxy has had encounters with trialists in the past who have said they applied to Habbox because they aren't expected to host a silly amount of events, which again... is fair enough.

I think the minimum of 4 events per month is a little low really. Maybe it could be upped slightly? At a time when a department has less staff members- it's crucial to work as a team to ensure the same output is still maintained etc.

This is easier said than done with the events dept. Activity is a big issue Hopefully with the new set of trialists it will help!

If there is an issue with prizes, perhaps some of the habbox funds somewhere along the line could be used more for events. I know it would be hard to organise, but I just think it would be great if some of the donations we get could be put to more use in events and promotion on habbo.

Funnily enough, this came up in the suggestions thread a while back and apparently the problem is that Habbox don't get enough donations. I suppose you take on the role of event organiser knowing you'll have to give your own prizes, but I do think it should be addressed that if you're stuggling for prizes, Habbox might be able to help out. Jin has a large room full of furni according to another thread!

So yeah, just waiting to see if events applications can bring some more people who are active on the forum and willing to do plenty of events

[Samantha]

I agree. Almost every site is 3 events per week. Except one I used to work at . 5 seems fair.

@Alex, competition winners thread is regularily updated, but the winners aren't. I won you're graphics competition in September, and I'm already using the VIP from it, and I have received the REP, but not all comps are notified in the winners thread.

I'm confused? I'll admit that comps administrative work (updating the page on Habbox, picking winners etc) has always been a very up-and-down rollercoaster. We like to have 2-3 days to pick winners but last month, it ended up longer than that and it was rightly picked upon. We're going to try and improve on these things and already the page on Habbox is slightly better, I think it might be a day behind (entirely my fault, not Alex's).

Giving out prizes has always been a struggle. There was that idea many moons ago about the 'Prize Collection Day' and we didn't forget about it, we were just waiting for the right time to introduce it and just continued with the current system as quickly as possible. I don't mind telling you we were waiting for the 'Habbox Bank' which had a very good function behind it.

As always, a part of my job is looking at the threads in here just in case comps feedback pops up! It always seems to happen in other threads not related to us so it's best to look at everything

[Samantha]

Oh I don't really care abou prizes, usually when I win they're forum based or an HC which I swap for rep

I don't like the prize collection idea.
Never have. Just think it's unfair on peope who can't be on.

[Inseriousity.]

We'd make arrangements for other people who can't fit those times.
