Can we all agree that this discussion is always going to be brought up at least 3-4 times a year?
There are always some main points as to why the integration of habbox.com and bringing readers there is a struggle;

• Too many tabs opened
• moving away from the forum
• person djing is unlikeable

There's others, but when it boils down to it, I think those are the main reasons why this struggle to bring people from the forum to habbox.com is hard. I think the real focus is how do we get people to come and stay. What can habbox.com offer for viewers coming from the forum? I forget who had posted about this in other feedback threads in regards to integrating them but the forum wont let you actually host a panel for djing, or something like that...
See, in all honesty- I'm surprised we don't have all of our URLs being directed to habbox.com to begin with and it becomes a launch pad. So if you type in habboxforum.com it directs you to habbox.com so that they (being everyone) has to touch base with the main habbox.com page.

im confused on what youre talking about
what do you mean by too many tabs open and tbh i dont understand any of the poonts
the point i made was just posy a forum post and post a link to the article so forum people can see
it the nattracts people to habbox.com and it makes forum discussion

im confused by why you mean

[lemons]

all 3 of those points are most definitely not the reason for the struggle it's just simply because people don't care!

Because that would be stupid. If hxf redirects to the main site then how could anyone ever access the forum?

If it was sorted, then no it won't be brought up 3-4 times a year, but as Habbox is HOPEFULLY evolving (Martin is taking that in the right direction) I think its under control.

Your list looks like its been wrote by an autistic moron? Too many tabs open? WHAT!, Moving away from the forum? Well you'd be on Habbox.com for articles or the DJ, you could always have another tab up of Hxf...

Person djing is unlikeable, sure I can understand that. BUT your older now, spotify is about so unsure why you'd listen unless its competitions or events or HxSS.

literally this ^

even if u didnt like the dj there is a button for you to just pause the radio anyway or mute it? not like its difficult lol i really dont see how any of this is relevant to just linking to the articles
articles have been posted on habbox.com for god knows how long so why is this suddenly an issue lol the whole point of this thread was to just say to link on the forum to the article
ppl are directed off the forum to read the article and maybe reply etc and it gives djs listeners and makes habbox.com look more active (which is good when trying to draw ppl in from the radio 2 habbox) then they can just go back to the forum and reply if they want etc (a whole 2 tabs lol must be awful)

There's others, but when it boils down to it, I think those are the main reasons why this struggle to bring people from the forum to habbox.com is hard.

but we're not tlking bout that?? we're just saying to link ppl to habbox.com articles so people can see it

What can habbox.com offer for viewers coming from the forum?

well for 1 thing, the articles ??? which is what this whole thread is about?? uno linking people to the article lol

and why would you want that lol you've just said about "unlikeable djs" so why would everyone want to be directed to habbox.com and have the radio play everytime they refresh the forum (unless you get rid of the radio even tho it has the most staff and attracts people from events etc to check habbox.com so i dunno why you would anyway)
@Brad; basically i just dont understand any of your post and why any of it is relevant or just anything really
i dont know if you just havent bothered to read the thread or if you just wanted to bring something completely different to it and then say that we discuss it 4-5 times a year
if this was discussed before then it would've happened beforehand
its not a massive deal its just doing this

a whole 2 tabs is not a big deal and it helps with both forum and habbox.com activity

This is the first one brought up in 2016.

I didn't think my post would get everyone's panties in a knot, and jump on the defence and actually start insulting (It was kind of childish in my perspective).
Nevertheless, I had posted it because in each of the feedback threads that have been made throughout the years one of the topics are how to get people from habboxforum to habbox.com, and vise versa. Never in my life did I think that even a suggestion would get totally ripped to shreds. We wonder why it's so hard to have new members join but if we reflect on those who are here and how savage some of them are in their comments, it pretty much sums it up.

On a different note; @Yuxin; I have read the thread, if I had not read it then I wouldn't have posted.

Again, I said it as a suggestion. I understand that Habboxlive has the most staff, and if you didn't go straight to being on the defence and actually realized where I was going with the big picture then you'd realize it was a suggestion. Not something I'd push but as a suggestion.

But I guess I'm just an autistic moron... What would I know.

Having comments split between the forum and the main site is silly. Most of the comments on articles on the main site consist of pats on the back from other staff members to the author for writing a good article and promote little to no discussion. Having threads on the forum even RELATED to the articles that come up might encourage people to talk more about the topics. Having moderators of specific forums in charge of creating discussions within their designated areas (though this is harder now that there aren't many mods) would also be a step in the right direction. Perhaps give articles or even other staff members a forum each and ask that they create a thread there each week for people to talk in? They don't have to be copypasta of the articles themselves but related discussions.

also are there even proofreaders anymore? some of the articles have a shocking amount of errors!

Mmm. It's sort of similar to when I had introduced the Conversation starters. I had encouraged people to post articles on the forum.
I agree with you though; Sometimes a discussion is hard to start when it's a copy/paste of the exact article.

The only thing you suggested was redirecting the forum to the main site which would mean no-one could ever see the forum lol, the rest of your post was just nonsense that had nothing to do with what this thread has been discussing and then something criticising the DJs... in a thread about articles.

Been saying this since I was a child back in the 1800s but am always met with refusal (or agreement and then no action), prob because it would require site staff to do something
