Forum is murdering itself

[Recursion]

Why not use donator money and the like to buy a Managed server solution? The company will take responsibility of the server and it's resource usage. It would fix the problem and the forum wouldn't be relying on Jin to keep the server going.

What pisses me off the most is it's taken you all so long to realise relying on Jin is frankly ridiculous. For well over a year I've been highlighting the danger of having someone who's constantly away to wield all the power. Did it really not occur to anyone it cannot work like this?

Jin is forever away for various reasons. Whenever I've said that to him before he's carried on about how he needs to earn a living and have a life, that's all very well but if he cant dedicate to Habbox he should leave. And then he'll give the whole excuse that he pays for it, that's all very well too but it doesnt mean you need to ruin it for everyone else.

Frankly Jin can do no wrong and he's too much of a power-freak to trust anyone else to sort technical issues. I've no doubt he gets some sort of buzz that the whole forum relies on him.

R.I.P. Habbox

I've PM'd Jin a moment ago with a link to this thread and an outline of the problems (and severity thereof) that this issue is having across all three Habbox Sites. It is a concern of ours and hopefully he will see that this is actually a really serious problem and he will at least give us an indication as to when and how this will be fixed.

I really hope it's sorted soon. I thought when the server issues first started and Jin came back from his holiday things would be sorted straight away, but it seems it's more complicated or something. It really is a pain, and as others have said it's not just the forum that's suffering. It's becoming rather hard to post news/content onto the site without losing it mid-way or other problems occuring and things seem to be breaking a lot easier.

I think as Jamesy said, the thing that's most concerning is the lack of communication. It would be nice to at least know what kind of time scale we're looking at, because quite frankly a lot of things are going downhill, and in the run up to halloween/christmas and of course V6, really it's not good for the basic things of Habbox to be going downhill. I know Jin is always very busy, he takes on a lot and of course needs his spare time, however this is really quite a pressing situation and I think once we get the official word from him on what's occuring we can look ahead. Once the sites are sorted, I think we need a really big push in terms of getting things active again. Yes, a lot of the problems are being caused by the server and people getting fed up of months of waiting for a better posting experience- I would like to hope that once they're sorted we can try and get some of the activity back up, and look at ways of promoting the sites more.

Just to add, we've been having terrible problems with images on the site lately, which I have a feeling is lag related, and this makes it a lot harder for staff to do their jobs properly I think.

I think this is just one of those unfortunate things really, and hopefully one that will get sorted soon. I would urge people to stick with us, and this really is out of most peoples control at the moment.

Okay I can understand Jin is probably busy, but where the hell is MattG? No offence to him but I haven't seen him post in any of these threads yet he is on Skype? Surely in a borderline crisis (Garion's words) such as this, the general manager of Habbox, the next step down from Jin is present.

Jin doesn't give the required access out to anyone. There is nothing Matt can do to fix this.

He can at least answer threads about it and other issues about habbox (hxhd feedback thread). All I can see if Garion firing around trying to cater for everyone in the threads.

[Storking]

But he'd only be repeating what other management are saying really..

I understand and knew that already, he could at least be posting in the threads.
