Forum going down hill?

[Mentor]

Well seeing as theres no place for humour in this section:

Raising Presence on Habbo itself
Get rid of the elitism/ cliqueness that makes new members alienated
New Forum Skins
Strong Management teams who are willing to put change into place.
Addition of vBulletin mods to add new incentives - eg badges

2 and 3 are in the process of being dealt with.

Thanks for the summary :p

> Get rid of the elitism/ cliqueness that makes new members alienated

Not really sure how you can really achieve this without hurting the forum? Friend groups form, and there aint much that can be done about that, breaking them up is definitely not a solution.
All that really needs to be done is to try and encourage a culture of openness within the cliquishness so they are welcoming to new members and more interested in helping them out. Possibly some sort of award for this - member that is most helpful the newcomers gets a MoTM thing - (as in not just for the welcome topic, but in general around the forum)

That may encourage people to be a little less defensive, and more interested in helping new users out rather than just being fed up as there unable to do something "/

Habbox's problem here is a lot of the people it attracts are younger and not to generalise to harshly on the internets, less confident kid. This means when they arrive they are less willing to throw themselves in to discussions out of fear of criticism's, especially in an environment where people are quick to pick-up on mistakes.
Older more confident members tend not to worry about this so much so just dive in and dont care about the odd gramma Nazi or disagreement with something they say. So get included in to the community more easily "/

Again though i think promoting members looking out for the noobs could help this as having someone stand up for them, is likely to boost the confidence in the community and make them more willing to get on and argue there side and say there peace "/

I hope you enable it and allowed users to use it

I agree entirely - the only way forward in this respect can be through positivity for those who are helping rather than increasing punishment for those hindering. Whatever some members may act like we need to promote ourselves as an open community where even if people don't agree with your views you are able to express them and be accepted

I think the person means "habbox management" when they said "you".
Common sense?

Eww this thread has been going a full 3 weeks and by the sounds of it we're no closer at all to getting anywhere. Personally I feel Garion and Jamesy are the only people in any sort of position to help that are actually working with us, where's jin and nvr (who has the time to post a tangental post in the first few pages but aparently nothing more than that) saying "yes I like that we'll consider implementing xyz". I mean, how many more "suggestions and feedback" do you want? I really don't wanna become one of those management bashers but throw us a bone here!

Jin was contacted in regard to this thread. He was asked nicely to reply as soon as he can. I am sure he will soon .

If he does I MIGHT have to stop whinging... no guarantees though

As i mentioned earlier, about trying to help new members settle in. I created a thread in the welcome forums to try and do just this:

Any thoughts/ ideas for improvement + would a mod/admin be able to pin if they think its helpful. Thanks
