I do not believe it intentional however the spam forum is very cliquey and I think the presence of KKK does nothing to help this issue.

Sure, if you think an area where people get along and talk to each other is the same thing as being cliquey and unwelcoming. Check out mdna for the most obvious recent proof against spam's unwarranted bad rep

the age gap provides too much of a barrier for new members to spread because the older members find them incredibly annoying (Understandably) and tend to avoid conversing with them. I probably worded the whole cliquey situation badly, from an external point of view it would look cliquey it's certainly less cliquey than it looks.

Yeah that's not cliquey that's genuinely not connecting with people, which completely different from purposely shutting people out for not being a part of the gang

Getting newer members involved in the rest of the forum is probably the single biggest problem this forum faces.

I completely agree with this if you take away "the rest of", as really the problem is (as it has been for years now) people simply not sticking around for any length of time, wherever they start off. I'm not gonna bother looking through the current stats now but when I looked into it a couple of years ago it was simply a case of having plenty of people signing up but hardly anyone being active - at the time over a third of members had zero posts and well over half had less than 10, and while registration activity may or may not have decreased since then the problem is still in getting people who do register to hang around, which has still not been properly addressed after all this time

Agree with the OP, for example, check the Tech Section out... last post was yesterday Morning. That place used to be buzzing

probs also bcos the server downtime yesterday

server - so much money such little performance. You'd get better uptime from these habbo hosts lol. I thought we were told this wouldn't happen again because they changed servers or something along those lines.

I find it hard to believe their provider (which is SoftLayer, according to their DNS) or the hardware could be the problem here. We've had servers hosted at SoftLayer without all these problems.

Hell, I have Windows servers with 100s days uptime at work, and they're not pampered with air conditioned data centers and all that jazz!

It seems to be something with the server because all websites went down for a number of hours and there wasn't even error messages for me, just like going searching a domain that's free.

I don't make threads myself because I have no idea what to make a thread about. But given the lack of threads and as areplier(so to speak?) I guess that's why I don't post as much any more.

Also just a thought, why not remove the umbrella threads?

Such as the F1 thread in the sports section, that would cause more threads and more discussion with a more focal point tbh. I'm not sure people like the idea of looking back through various pages of a thread to understand what any ones talking about.

I don't get how you expect people to react to that thread though, hardly a spark for fabulous discussion...

Don't react at all.

I wouldn't blame the server downtime for the inactivity of the tech section, well it's not the main reason because it was only down for last night. The server went down at 23:36 and therefore posts could of been made just fine before that time and anything before last night we have had no major problems for a while. I don't know the full story behind last nights downtime as I'm waiting for Jin to tell me about it and understand what went on. Until then, the server isn't a problem unless it starts acting up again which I'm hoping it bloody doesn't but hey ho. I guess I will start praying or something on the lines of that!

Na I'm not saying it was last night but i do think it was one of the main problems that made activity worse during the 3 day downtime last yr

Oh yeah the downtime we had last year for sure had an impact on activity for Habbox. I wouldn't disagree with that for one minute!
