Radio & Events

[GoldenMerc]

DJ's and Events will never be able to join properly unless they have a staff forum together and can start speaking to each other, communication is key, you cant just expect it all to come into place with asking

I only skim read the convo between zahz and aiden so sorry if i repeat what someone has said.

I think that advertising it on the hour, through the show is alright, we dont need the hassle of advertising the current event and the next event at the same time, it just doesnt make sense. I don't think you should force the DJ's to do what you want, and when you dont get what you want you make a thread about it if im perfectly honest.

What difference does 10 minutes really make? 1, 2, maybe 3 people? If the event is at 3 then it should be advertise on air at 3 so not to get confused witht the current event.

This rule has been place for a long time and why should it change because you feel its wrong. Theres no point in arguing about something that will not change .

i dont see why the dj cant just do it on the hour and advertise it throughout the show, like what they currently do?

[Samantha]

Tbh if you hAve an event at 9 and its now 9:50 pm you're saying the dj should advertise, sorry but those who are in PARTY ROOMS are obviously not interested for the current event so probably wont care for the next one. Some listeners will be in the 9 o'clock event room still so I think it's then upto the 9pm host to inform people in the room where and when the next event is so no DJs shouldn't advertise before the hour, they can advertise on the hour.

[Chippiewill]

I think DJs should definitely advertise on the hour, though there's certainly nothing wrong with advertising the next event in a "during the next hour.." kind of fashion along with the next DJ right before they stop - but ten minutes early is a bit OTT.

What I don't makes sense is advertising events in the DJ says bit, seems like the wrong place for it especially since there's loads of information about events on the Habbox site to begin with.

[Martin]

It's never been a case where DJ's have to advertise an event before it actually is happening, always been at the start of the show and during the show. Mainly because, people are listening live, they hear it straight away and travel to the events room straight away if they want to attend, hearing about it 10 minutes early won't make much difference really and could get confusing, especially since lately there have been events on the events panel which havent even gone ahead

DJs should certainly advertise during their slot though, most practically at the start of the show/hour. Departments helping each other in this way is crucial really, it works in lots of ways but everyone should be doing what they can to help other departments and not just their own. Unfortunately its a bit of a quiet period right now for the radio, struggling to get above 10 listeners on a saturday night and quite a few nights this week the radio has gone offline for some reason, lack of staff or lack of motivation I just don't know. Advertising really needs to be upped, not too sure if advertising habboxlive gets you banned still on habbo thesedays, but if not then I think the radio could be advertised in events too so it works both ways. Need more giveaways and stuff to get new listeners.


I remember a couple of years ago we had a 'request a DJ' thread, where events organisers requested a DJ to attend at their event etc, and then a senior member of habboxlive would reply back with who will be on air and would pass the message onto them etc. It worked quite well in some ways, but was scrapped in favour of all DJs advertising events anyway which is how it should be really. I do think its nice if the DJ can get down to the events rooms more often though, get the listeners there, and advertise the radio whilst there also.

Basically there is no need to advertise the event before it is due to start on habboxlive because there could still be a previous event already in progress, the transition doesnt really happen until the hour is complete and then the listeners can be informed of the new event, its a live thing, its not like the community notice board which is static, the people tuned in will hear it and make their decision on the spot normally. They can see the events timetable on the main site anyway whilst tuned in So providing that is updated there is no issue really.

[Andii]

Considering the DJ usually changes at the start of the hour, we can't really expect the previous staff member to update it too. The person on air whilst you're hosting must advertise, but they have no obligation to attend. Given the context, it might be a bit pedantic if they're refusing to update it, but I can't see any issues at the minute!

Great another pointless thread.

Really if your going you argue about what THE DJ SAYS. Why don't you start complaining and making the events people control the DJ says. That's what your yappin about this time from what I read.

It's the DJ says for a reason they don't have to have it up before the event or even during they can have it to something they want or letting people know what's going on at Habbox not just events. Stop being selfish and just thinking of events. It crosses into other departments. That's like me complaining about news not posting articles about rare values every week. Because its stupid.

I personally hate seeing when a Habbox event is advertised as the DJ says. I liked seeing a DJ not sure which one but they had what song they enjoyed listenin to this week for it

Just thought I'd pop by...

HI ANDY!

Yeah mate you have no good points there really. It was never the case the DJ's had to advertise an event before it even started but why shouldn't they advertise when on air? It takes seconds to mention every ten minutes or so. While you may see it as an act of selfishness on behalf of the events organisers, yes it may be, whether they realise it or not. But when a DJ advertises an event and even a small amount of people turn up, that still brings it up a few spaces in the navigator in the hotel meaning other Habbo users, who may not know about Habbox will see it and might come in. Every person that comes in who is not a member of Habbox should be seen as a potential user. That's why DJ's should advertise the events!

About putting it into the DJ Says, again, why not? Some people when visiting the main site may have the site on mute, just like I did when I was around. The might see the event in the DJ Says and decide to pop down.

Finally, using the example you used about news not posting about rare values because you think that's stupid? Why would you think that's stupid?! That just makes it sound like the departments have nothing to do with each other? Excuse me if I'm wrong but I thought it was a community in which the departments worked together.

Clearly something to be resolved in staff forums or with managers. Nothing the members of the public can do about this.

[Kardan]

There is no issue here really, as long as the DJ advertises it when it starts then all is good, there is no point advertising an empty room for 10 minutes, not many people are going to wait around.

And how many people actually read the DJ says thing? Yes, maybe when you first tune in, but listeners dont sit and watch that all day, they have the radio on in the background, so i dont see an issue here either.

Frankly this would have been better off sending it to the radio and events managers, seems that feedback is the new place to boost post counts
