Many changes needed

It comes when it comes.

Wasn't there a set date months ago? Surely if it was months ago it should nearly be completed?

[lawrawrrr]

I'm assuming things keep getting in the way - notably their jobs.

Anyway I agree with some of the things being said - and I think most of the issue comes from there being a lack of AGMs. When there was the 3 AGMs then Matt things seemed to work better - as people knew where to go and stuff to ask questions. I just actually sent Matt and Jin a little proposal I made for Habbox to make this work.

As for Mod post count - Chris enforced that; not Matt. If Jin wanted AGMs to be more active then I'm sure they'd deal with being made to post by him, but he's the only one with authority. To be honest, and I say this about all management - wouldn't you rather they were doing their jobs than posting on the forum all the time?

Oh wait, no, you'd rather moan at them for not doing their jobs and posting too much on the forum to be doing a good job. It's a vicious circle!

Which is understandable but what I don't understand is, the release date was in like august or something? so surely if it was that long ago it was close enough to finish, so I'm a tad bit confused Can we at least take down the habboxlive website and have a basic request / radio player with no content until the main website is completed, everything has been out of date for so long now which makes the website look completely dead and when you're listening / browsing the website it makes the radio seem worse than it actually is, i don't think that even makes sense but I can't explain it properly. A small basic page with a player / request form with frank confused saying 'something new is coming soon...' is much better than a website that looks years old, at least those who don't use the forum will know things will be changing and might decide to stick around. That was designed when myke was the graphics manager, thats a long long time ago now lol.

I don't think they've ever had a release date. There was one they were trying to work to, but multiple things got in the way, and from what I heard there were components missing - I for one would rather wait for it to be completely finished and polished (and that's saying something considering the state of the news panel on v6).

Taking habboxlive.com down would impact the radio even more I think - there is information and things on there that will be on v7 (I assume) but isn't on v6.

I thought it was supposed to be done a while ago, but after reading Ross' post earlier in the thread about Rec not having time to do it and now it's only Kieran @Intricat; doing it himself I think fair enough. Is there not any other coders that could help out with it?

Fair play to Kieran considering he has a full time job too.

they did have a date, they had it down to the hour but zuth delayed it cause hes a ****

They had a date which they published on their Twitter but it wasn't just Zuth that delayed the release. I know it was blamed on other departments and staff!!

We did have a plan for August but a last minute (when I say minute, I mean by hours) issue caused us to not release it at all. A decision was made to continue work on V7 and then see where that would take us, a number of decisions has changed since then which you could say are good things. Not going to go into major details but like Kieran has said, it will be done when it's done.

That can be done but I have a feeling the Jade/Gina won't be too happy with that as that would limit them in a way of having control over the content. Unless we did pages for them on Habbox.com but urgh. I know Jade has been updating the content on the site though in terms of information.

We had an internal deadline and we hinted a release date on twitter. We aren't aware of any other coders who can be trusted with such a project.

I could blame him but I wouldn't blame him fully, although we did redesign the layout because of him but we could also say that was a good thing as we like it more than we did when Ben saw it.

I'll say certain people instead of departments but I won't go there

lethal gfx skills coming through +*+*+




obviously i was just messing around but you could do something like this maybe instead of having a massive dead page (not sure if the snippets are the same) just an idea
