Does listener of the week still occur? Wasn't sure if there was a thread that told us who had won each week.

It does but I think it's only ever announced through the habboxlive website. If it isn't already maybe they could create an announcement weekly.

I'm pretty sure the listener of the week is chosen by how many 'votes' they receive from presenters, I could be wrong though.

I mentioned in the habboxlive section about how to timetable is dealt with these days and I disagree with how it is reset. Resetting the timetable at the end of the week is a silly thing to do, it's asking for the timetable to be blank. If it gets reset at the end of every day people will pre-book. I was told this changed due to people complaining about not getting slots, they clearly don't care enough to book. I vote we change it back as the current method doesn't seem to be working as effectively as methods in the past have.

a point i didn't notice earlier. So the timetable is reset at the end of the week? Surely it should be reset every day so people have a chance to book in advance rather than waiting like 3-5 days, by which time they may have reconsidered. Perhaps @RemelKiid; could ask that staff unbook their slots after they are finished DJing to make sure that slots are free for people to book in advance for the next week.

The timetable was set to a weekly reset (Mon-Fri reset on Sat, Sat-Sun reset on Mon) is so that the timetable looks more busy. I'll speak to Grig about perhaps changing it back to a daily reset, however we do have more urgent issues to address.

I realise that you need to address the issues previously stated but one of those is definitely the timetable. It's never going to look busy if nobody wants to DJ, and people will only want to DJ when they feel like booking a slot, which could be at any point of the week. They shouldn't have to wait until the end of the week to book a slot. If busyness is a problem then there is always the option of keeping a public timetable of the current week and a private one for DJs to prebook. can't be that difficult?

I suppose a public/private timetable might be something we could look at. It wouldn't be able to be implemented until V7 is released seeing that the coders aren't modifying any existing code and HxL will be getting a new panel.

For the timetable why don't you use a calendar, that doesn't need resetting? :/

Just to add and I really shouldn't be saying this as the position could go back down the toilet but the guest dj position has brought back some old faces, I wouldn't be surprised if some more old were to return. Have management not questioned why someone would want to come back as a guest dj and not just a regular dj? The only two reasons I can come up with is; guest djs don't need to change their forum names and they're only required to book 3 slots a month. People returned for either of those reasons. Personally I came back for both, I don't want to feel pressured into djing all the time (although I believe I have done more than enough for this month already) and I like my name on the forum.

Perhaps people feel coming back as a regular dj is going to be a bit too much work. I have more than 3 hours available through out the week but I still don't want habboxlive to feel like a chore. I don't want to be tied down with commitments 'you MUST do x amount of slots', it's voluntary work, although I would probably do more than 3 hours a week as a regular dj I don't like the feeling that I HAVE to. I never understood why there was a cap on how many members could be in a certain department, surely having 60 odd djs with different personality's that dj now and then is better than having the same consistent and some would argue 'boring' five or six.

Before people start comparing habbox to real life voluntary work, a lot of places don't actually have x requirements a week / month. Obviously if someone doesn't show their face for weeks upon weeks, strike them off the list. People come on here for fun, they 'work' for fun. In reality people do voluntary work for different reasons but for mainly to have a nice big lump of text about charity work on their cv. I'm not saying BANISH THE REQUIREMENTS ENTIRELY I'm just suggesting more leeway is given, everything doesn't need to go by the books. Use your discretion. Eliminating the required slots or lowering them for positions like guest dj makes me feel more inclined to dj, I feel like I'm doing it for fun, for to entertain others not because someone told me I have to. I believe if more leeway was given more people would want to go on air as they don't feel pressurized or maybe that's just me

The real question you guys need to be asking is why more people want to come back as guest djs and not regular djs.
