One thing I mentioned in a previous thread I created was I don't understand why the applications open and close constantly.

I too wonder why they even bother closing applications, if they have less slots to fill then they can work on their production value.

@Richie; After you made that feedback thread apps were opened & they haven't been closed since

Yeah I like the idea of users submitted their applications via the site as opposed to the email system

I think they're following too close to the footsteps of real fm radios that's coming from me, a hypocrite perhaps. It wouldn't be too much trouble to add 'applications submitted will be reviewed weekly' and once reviewed staff can decide whether to chuck them into a 'maybe' or a 'no' folder.

That's how Adzeh used to operate and he was very successful that way. Keep apps open, hire only until someone very good and up to standard applies, then keep doing that constantly, as well as listener incentives and making sure staff actually DJ, then remove people who don't or make unacceptable excuses.

I always plan my shows when I DJ. I don't always host comps because it can get expensive and not alot of people turn up and enter.
The only feedback I get is from a few listeners and in my reports, is that I am doing good which isn't really helpful as I want to know what I can improve, to improve my shows. I try to stream as much as I can to try and keep the radio online but I can't always devote all of my time to streaming. I also can't keep the radio online by myself, I need others to help too as its very much a team effort. I play older songs and newer songs. I try not to play chart music unless it's requested and im planning on learning how to double DJ so I can do a weekly show with another DJ. I don't really know what else I can do to help.

Dont worry buddies, huge things for hxl soon - @Laurren; @toribbz; eh eh?

IM ON DA MOON PATCH.
@RemelKiid; bet your excited x

[Mathew]

it's pathetic. manager only cares about his own shows.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEEPING STATEMENT WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, I've been tuning into ThisHabbo a lot more purely because the shows and music have more variety. Something definitely needs to be done and fast!

TRAITOR!!!!!!!!

I personally, have been joining people in critiquing the situation. It's actually pretty dire at the moment and it pains me to say as I always loved HxL. We have the same 2/3 DJs on all day and it gets boring and tedious. Listener drives are not happening etc. I understand people have exams, but, it's up to management to account to that situation by getting more DJs etc.

I see people like Mark tuning into TH. And I absolutely hate TH and the way the whole site operates, but they are always on top of their radio, which is one plus. There is constant monitoring and stuff happening. It's impossible for Habbo Radios to do well just by sitting back, even before you needed to do something. The Head DJ system that Oli created is also broken. Back in my day when myself and Scott were head djs, we had to physically do competitions for our timezones etc. and were forced by Oli to do so to push the timezone. Now one Head DJ place is almost obsolete due to there being only 1/2 group 3 DJs and there's nothing being done by them for their timezones. This solely indicates a broken system.

I will resume some shows from next week as well to help out now that I'm free.

ur usertitle is broken WHAT ARE YOU?

I remember this point was raised probably about a year ago and I discussed how HxL shouldn't just be a stagnant department, but one which is constantly offering constructive criticism to DJs and actively seeking improvement. In my eyes, HxL should be looking for the next successful DJ, not recycling old staff members or those with experience from other sites. You could mentor 50 DJs to a mediocre standard, but it might just be that one of them is the next addition to management. You can only do that by taking a risk and investing whilst they're new.

I have to agree, I feel like the habbox live department got complacent over the years with their large ensemble of good djs they assembled and forgot to plan to replace them as they left.

cos ur fav dj lauren cant be on air 24-7 xxxxxx

i agree though, maybe its cos of exam season im not sure); but i try and stream whenever possible and dj when I have time, i thought a comp on myshow might higher the listeners a bit and it did slightly but only to around 30 3;

Which is why HxL needs to be a large team, so that when people are going to be busy they can still fill all the slots.
