Habbo's 1st Fansite Summit

[Red]

Hmmm all sounds good apart from the manning of the helpdesk x Looking forward to having our events promoted!

Looks like it's going on right now. Looking forward to a round-up (or video) of what got discussed.

Summary


These were the main pointers that was mentioned, there was some other stuff said but this was the main stuff that seems to be happening.


Wanted to know ways of getting a better profile on Habbo.com



They want to be able to help us advertise and promote our games and events on the client. They want us to be more visible on Habbo.

Events and Games

- During Valentines, events all week promotion.
- Rota on normal weeks between fansites.
- Tab on the navigator with fansite events in (for the promotion)
- Design own badges for prizes (For the events promotion)
- Might be able to ask Furni for specific events that they would then hand out/give.
- Design promo article images for advertisement (The big image on Habbo.com)
- Design the navigator images for the promoted room(s)

Suggestions that were liked by powertoo - May or may not happen:

- A type of calendar that fansites can use to publish events.
- A better page for "Fansites" or more of a group page like they did with the room builders.

- Each fansite having a room promoting the fansite in the "Public" rooms tab or something on the lines of that.
- Newsletter of some sort



Help Desk

- There will be a Habbo Help Desk, it's going to be recreated and owned by powertoo
- Fansites will be able to take turns each work to manage/man the Help Desk with our own Habbox Staff (Rota)


Other

- There will be a monthly meeting between the fansites with Powertoo. Will happen on the last Friday of each month.
- Can Email Powertoo with our own suggestions and talk about ideas in regards of Fansites, events, prizes etc.
- An Official Fansite Room which will contain a banner for promoting fansites.
- Fansites joining together to host events now and again

Pretty sure every one of those ideas has been done before at some time or other, they didn't work then and they probably wont work now.

P.S. I just want to add that now fansite staff will be given a chance to work in the habbo help desk, I bet Red changes her mind and stops saying it is elitism and favoritism. lol

Nope I am still against it x

Don't think Habbo staff need to give prizes, contradicts the funding we have and and we ask for with some roles. The Help Desk, just use the Welcome Lounge, nothing else on that matter is needed.

I don't like the idea of giving fansites more power. Fansites are run by users who care just as much about this game as other users. They might exploit some of these new responsibilities to their own advantage. Not liking it.

This is very true, but weirdly enough it is those very fansite users who often complain when other habbos are given even the smallest amount of responsibility.

you're generalising. it's not just fansite users that don't like the idea of giving small groups 'responsibility' (if you can even call it that), it's just that those are the only opinions that are publicly aired.

I am not generalising, that is what people say on this and other forums.

Let's not pretend fansites have not done exactly as jorsian suggests in the past, because they have - including this one. I do not object to fansites having this responsibility/power (for lack of a better word) - but they must be willing to share it with other habbos (this means accepting a help desk and not moaning when a room builder does an event). In their own way fansites are just as prone to elitism and favoritism as anything else.
