Habbox Live concerns

[Alex3213]

As Calvin said, most international DJs DJ at national times lol, they need to be told to DJ at international times or not at all?

I do agree to this to an extent. They're international, it's not so they can book at 5pm or some UK peak time. What sort of times do you think would be reasonable because I think from 10pm BST that's alright.

I'd listen to HxL if I couldn't be bothered to listen to my own music.

Sometimes listening to someone else play the music for you is great because you don't know what's up next and I find it so much easier than carrying an iPod (I listen to radio on my phone).

So streaming doesn't make a difference, and streaming at times of the day when listeners are not at peak would be good, don't you think?

I agree that Intls shouldn't be streaming in the early hours of the morning and should DJ more. The Auto DJ thing doesn't need to be introduced because that's the Intl DJ's jobs. I don't see a problem with Intl DJs doing slots in UK times but if they don't do slots in the timezone they're supposed to be doing them in then there's a problem.

Yeah Sam, but the thing is.. most aren't doing their jobs so I think the managers need to have a look over the timetable and check which international DJs are not DJing and get them to DJ more.

I agree, I also thing apps for both Intl and UK DJs should open because both timezones are lacking in DJs that are actually doing their jobs. Almost every other hour the Senior Account is spamming my msn with "DJ FOR ____?!?!" and that shouldn't be happening so often. It's got to the extent where if you book a slot you are probably going to end up having to find a cover for the next slot. Apps need to be opened!

I do agree that obviously the listeners have dropped and has gone partially downhill but you can't put ALL the blame on habboxlive, for example people used to come on for the rare values alot, now the marketplace is the 'number one source' for prices that obviously affects people listening in.

Personally, I do think that the auto DJ is a good idea but should only be used if absolutely noone can DJ but the majority of the time the radio is up 24/7, the timetable gets cleared every day so you can't expect it to be all fully booked on that day, for example Sunday's timetable was on 24/7 - Timetable here

I just think we need to get more international DJ's who can DJ during their own times, I mean we do have a fair few but if we had more who could do comps during that time aswell - not just streaming. We could then pull in more international listeners and now the hotels have merged, this should be much easier to do as more people are online during the night that are international.

I think it might be a good idea to community involved competitions, this is just an example but for example the one we did at halloween. If we had more competitions like that people could invite more and it would seem much more friendly that doing a few on air competitions whilst DJing. Habbox stars was a great example of this, the listeners really got involved and they went higher than they have for a while - if we things similar to this which always got the community involved that would be fantastic.

As for experience, you can't expect every single DJ to have experience, everyone starts off somewhere and as people have said you can't turn someone down just because they have no experience, that's ridiculous. Everyone gains experience whilst they DJ and every fansite has a different atmosphere so they just need to get used to that.

The kazopark has to be mentioned once an hour, this has been asked of all habboxlive DJ's.

I know many songs do get repeated on habboxlive but they are many DJ's who do play a huge variety! The new permanent shows introduce new music, for example Bethie's show introduces new songs and has reviews about them, these songs are all of different genres and just sound different. We have Sacha with her rave show, also another genre being introduced to Habboxlive and obviously I do the rock chart show every wednesday.

I do believe applications are opening sometime this week, so hopefully they will being even more talent and variety to the DJ team.

[hah]

I completely agree with Richie.

I remember when I joined, they used to be a throne competition every week or every 2 weeks and obviously throne was and still is a huge rare. It used to be advertised all over habbox.com and the forum that the users can win a throne.
That show would be hosted by the best DJs and used to get very very popular and I listened because of that. Now the prizes suck. Jin has a huge habbox donations room where he has rooms full of rares and super rares from donations - maybe he needs to give that to Matt to give out as prizes. The donations should be put in bundles and given out to attract people.

There was also going to be a huge giveaway last hours and hours after the merge ... not happened.

Habbox were very popular, become complacent and now its not the most popular anymore.

Also Jin firing Richie was a stupid decision. He is an active forum member and I tuned in just to listen to him and he got fired :S He would have brought in more listeners than senior DJ's.
