Habbox Forum Activity and Suggestions for Change

[Nixt]

A friend and I were discussing a whole Forum relaunch. Not quite sure of all the details, but get everyone involved especially the members and just get everyone interested in HxF again.

That's a different debate and it is not something that I want this thread to turn into a discussion about . I agree there could be staffing issues and perhaps they are having an impact on the community atmosphere but again we have to rely on management to highlight these issues and deal with them as is appropriate.

If the management are the issue then who sorts it? If Habbox was doing really well I'd praise management so when it struggles like I believe it is now I think it's only fair they're criticised. If they were good leaders they'd put the blame on themselves anyway. I know they won't because management aren't like that on Habbox any more.

Anyway, enough of that. I look forward to the post approval rule being changed today. I think the Forum Manager said earlier in this thread (or maybe it was another one) he'd try and change it today.

Fairly sure it was mentioned a couple of hundred times when the whole VIP problem originally blew up that official status had nothing to do with it and we'd be forced to remove all Habbo-related content or something along those lines if we wanted to literally "sell" anything. You could argue that many of us don't use the forum for Habbo any more but especially at a time when we need new members it would be a bit daft to take away the theme of the place which we get people from

Yeah as it stands I am pretty sure it's don't sell VIP or you're not having anything to do with Habbo. That would prove pretty awkward as we're pretty much interlinked and if we had to get rid of all the Habbo content we would lose a sizeable chunk of our member base and that wouldn't at all help the situation.

I do however, agree that VIP would be extremely beneficial to the Forum. It makes it far more appealing and also brings in money that I think could be used to promote the Forum. I think nvrspk4 was in contact with Sulake staff in regard to this issue, hence the update a while back on what Donators get. Perhaps he could open up this point of contact again and attempt to improve it? As Oli mentioned perhaps we could strike up some sort of campaign? Habbo needs to realise they are essentially killing off their dedicated fansites by doing this.

If the management are the issue then who sorts it? If Habbox was doing really well I'd praise management so when it struggles like I believe it is now I think it's only fair they're criticised. If they were good leaders they'd put the blame on themselves anyway. I know they won't because management aren't like that on Habbox any more.

That does make things difficult, I guess, but you have to remember there is a chain of command and if there are any problems there is a superior who should be able to deal with it. Minus the person at the very top of course, but nvrspk4 is a decent guy and I am relatively sure he would accept criticism and attempt to learn from it if it is fair. The important thing though is making sure criticism is constructive. I also understand that some members are worried about the possible repercussions of complaining. In the event that this is the case please do contact me and I will contact the relevant person on your behalf ensuring your criticism is constructive because I am not at all worried about repercussions because I believe that members of management do want to make sure as many people are happy as possible.

I also look forward to this change .

In reference to nvr emailing Habbo I believe they stopped replying to him in the end

The whole forum needs looking at, it needs updating, it needs re-forming, and re-structuring. Keep staff as they are now but update the forum, to suite both new HABBO members and old time non-habbo members. Re-structure the sections. (e.g. runescape has 4 subforums, and it's ALWAYS inactive, why are they needed? Sports section could do with subforums ect.)

Can I just say that calling the runescape section inactive is far from the truth. The runescape section has around 10 members that you will see posting quite regularly. Take a look at it for yourself, you will see all the subforums with recent posts. The only thing that needs improving with the runescape section is a mod that actually knows what runescape is (which I think we are in the progress of getting).

Also stop treating us like kids on the filtering. ************ shouldn't be filtered, its normal, not offensive and its pathetic whoever put it in. If you don't know what the filtered word is then guess, 'Masturba....'.

Forum has changed so its suitable for 6-11 year olds. The majority aren't even near that age.
