Habboxlive, seriously?

[Richie]

There should be two things done then. Gauge enthusiasm and crack down on people not pulling weight or generally having a cba attitude and then cracking down on quality- starting from seniors, where from what I can see even a few of those aren't up to scratch.

There comes the problem then, if you get rid of them who will replace them. That's the problem. Good DJs don't go to Hx anymore- they go to HFFM or TH. This is the headache, which is another reason why there are no candidates within the department for int. manager nor Head DJ.

I don't want to sound like a *** but that'd never happen. Habboxlive ever since I can remember has always had its 'clicks', take that girl kristie or w/e for example, about 4 threads in public forums were created about her not pulling her weight and she wasn't fired, i find it hard to believe being best buddies with logan was just a coincidence the cycle starts again whether any manager likes to admit it or not. I think sometimes management really need to assess each department and if they believe favouritism is occurring, they need to fix that.

In the case of Kristie, I was about to fire her but Logan didn't want me to. He said there would be no-one to "replace" her for the int. side. That was his own fault, as there were candidates but they left frustrated because they saw her not do much.

It needs to happen. Re-asses people in positions of power i.e. senior DJs etc. and see if they are up to standard. That and to not fear changing the structure in terms of a separate int. side. I'd much rather have less seniors/ DJs, than those who are pulling a broken train by being not up to scratch. Quality.

I swear I've said this in every HabboxLive thread but there we go. Habbo radios are completely dying as people would rather listen into stations with more interesting DJs, not just ones that mention the next song (you can probably get an app which shuffles tracks and calls them out using the default voice).

If you want to keep the radio up then I would say just rebrand into a non-Habbo station, that way you can advertise to get more DJs that actually host a real good show and the DJs would actually advertise to their friends too without being embarrassed by the whole Habbo thing. If you don't want to re-brand it, then just scrapping it would be the better solution.

I'm still surprised any of the habbox sites are going. It looks like the forum's community is entirely regular from old, and I don't see that lasting much longer.

How much longer until habbox closes? It fills a niche that doesn't exist anymore. Habbo fans are long gone and I don't see this website being profitable for much longer, if it even is at all. vip/donations can only maintain it for so long.

We don't actually have any heads at the minute we're currently deciding on who will get the position and a couple of the seniors have already booked Halloween events which is good (although I wish they would do 2/3 rather than 1 which is actually what I'm about to speak to them about right now! Just put my dirty laundry in the bin HAHA) but we're trying to push everyone if you get me? I know what I wanted and when I wanted it I just think Gina disagreed is all. Same with the staff song. I felt there was no need as we've only recently done a staff song.. but obviously with the serious changes in staff this was something that Gina wanted to do.

I may have! BUT IT WAS PACKED!!

I went on Thursday. It was awesome

Habbox Forum is doing relatively fine, if Habbox is still the main rare values site then that's fine, Habboxlive hasn't been good for a while now, so I wouldn't be surprised if that closes soon, HabboxWiki - do that many people even use it?

The problem for Habbox in the past couple of years was in attracting new members. It's not like there's no base, ThisHabbo's userbase is 14 on average in terms of age. Habbox' is much much older, consisting of many users who have grown out of Habbo and use Habbox as a means of habit and staying in contact with friends.

In other words, it's filled with 50 year old men like MattG. HX needs to somehow find a way to youthen itself up, whilst still keeping its older clientele satisfied.

Totally agree I think we'll I know I've favoured in the past at whichever department I managed as it was hard to see staff who had so much potential and experience decrease in activity. It's why when pming warnings I think it's best to say remember you can resign if you don't have enough time. Also with staff in the past I know howd they'd react if they were warned or fired, I'd have to do it unlike some managers believing they have a free ride. I did used to be more lenient on some staff but after they get promoted I think it should go, be stricter on them as they should know right from wrong and when they are pulling excuse after excuse. I don't favour at all, I treat myself equal to those of news reporter or any other staff member, the levels don't mean you're superior just have more work and roles to do.

Hey,

Even though I haven't actually read all of the replies on this thread I pretty much get the jist of things here..
I do agree with what you say about the habboxlive staff not getting very involved and not jumping on air when they are supposed to, but some of the staff are trying their best to get involved and when they do they get shot down because "it's a stupid idea" or, " the listeners wont get involved", The listeners not being involved is quite a large problem for me, I'm always logging into sam and clicking 'Start encoder' to see if someone is DJ'ing if they arent I jump on air for the longest time I can but most of the time you get someone streaming when other DJ's could do the job and they just simply don't ask them if they want to DJ or not because they want to get their slots up or whatever.


I'm going a bit off topic here but I personally think that the habboxlive staff could definitely get more involved with a bunch of things.

Personally, HxL needs a total staff wipeout, fire all staff, then re-hire the ones worthy. When i was at HabbCrazy, as they have int managers also, Generally e.g the international manager would go on other hotels (b4 merge) and gain users doing giveaways etc, to hire more people. This would work for both the managers interests. But meh
