bolt660 events have been packed every time i've been to one bravo

[Reality]

To be honest events has always and always will be an unstable department even if the forum isn't as stable as it but they get by I just think they get too much criticism because of previous threads! I bet if it was left in feedback event feedback a would be made half the time they're now because most of the things stated are repeated!

We know you're best friends with Gina so it's no surprise you're making her out to be some sort of saint, but you're making it sound as if she's carrying Habbox on her own two shoulders which isn't the case. All of the manager here work hard and are doing their best. If they weren't then they wouldn't be in their position.

If they're truly doing their best they should be replaced because their best is frankly terrible. You can't look at a complete failure of a department and say "oh but they're TRYING" and pretend that that's an actual response.

The comments about Sam are unfair. She's done plenty and is currently organising a Habbo event which we were given very short notice for. Give her a break.

They're completely fair, and she's had plenty of breaks which was kinda my point. She's missed entire fansite events and made a hash of ones that she has "organised" and it all comes down to her supposedly being new in the role every time, which sort of doesn't work as an excuse after a while. If you'd like to actually come up with a response other than NO SHUT UP that would be fab.

Oh and your comments about my role are blind. You have no idea what I do so I don't know how you can say that.

I ghosted the Staff AGM role for quite a while so yeah I do have an idea. It's your job to keep the staff in line and you're not doing it.

I do agree with Tom on most accounts of his argument as the staff aren't always striving to dot heir best and Sam hasn't been there for fansite events ...!(there may have been reason but it's coincidental)

Not read most of this thread, but if events were actually funded properly I'd say they would be much more popular. Instead of people having to give away their own furniture, why can they not be funded like other departments are? Say there was 5 or even 10c provided per event, it could be advertised in the thread made for each event and the room name also. Winning a selection of random furni would not interest me, winning 10c might get my attention a bit more. Instead of doing events where each round has a winner, why not do events where there is an overall prize. These events might still have a few rounds, the winner of each individual round might win a single furni or some rep points, and then the overall winner of the event wins the main prize (10c or whatever is allocated) or a larger amount of rep points.

For as long as I've been at Habbox, I don't think Events have been funded that so I really don't think that's the problem. I know @Inseriousity.; was very keen on getting events completely funded so hosts wouldn't have to use their own furni but it's definitely not how to sort the problem, it would be wayy too expensive.

Something I suggest would have some sort of "Win a Room/Habbo Events Lotto" where every winner of an event gets a ticket and at the end of the month someone wins a room full of furni or a certain amount of credits.

It's been said multiple times in the past that if events need funds they can just ask for them, people just don't

habbox is near to non-existent on habbo itself because habbox has NO community at all

habbox is full of oldies who don't even play habbo which is a must imo!

Having no community and having a disjointed community are different. There is a community at habbox with potential to grow, it's just that everybody's too busy disliking eachother or refusing to get to know one another so habbox can't properly pull together and expand.

I disagree with the reason for the lack of activity at habbox being that the members are 'too old' or don't play habbo. There's only actually a rather small group of active users that don't play habbo. Just because habbo is no longer their lifestyle, don't write them off as nonplayers who can't contribute because if you look at hxss for example, almost everybody crawls back out of the woodwork and visits at least a few events.

Events are the main department under fire because they are the main source of new users. When other departments aren't being seen to be pulling their weight believe me they get feedback too.

I don't think funding is as much a problem as people make it out to be, it's that people aren't confident enough in themselves and their (or others' if we look at the festival example) ideas that they can ask for funds.

What should be happening (with ALL departments, not just events) is that the teams and their managers should each get together and figure out what they bring to habbox, what the community's view of what they're currently bringing to habbox is, and what they can do (events/comps wise) to put habbox back onto the map for an extended period.

A lot of the problems are - going back to the main issue of activity - that management, general management, and sometimes a large portion of senior staff, just don't have enough time for habbox. Odey has been away recently, as have his senior events staff afaik, so nobody has been actually steering that ship and its been headed into increasingly rougher waters. Gina does so fantastically well not only because she puts time and effort in even where it isn't required of her role (although it should be, for all management roles) but because she has a top notch team of heads and seniors that she can actually rely on and staff that are able to use prerogative and do the job without being told.

Comps & Graphics provided habbox with an engaging event without the need for lots of funding, habboxlive entertain users without the need for lots of funding, events actually sometimes pull in users because of the quality of their events rather than the prizes, believe it or not. Funding is *not* an issue. Dedication, drive and innovation is.

but it's exam period so it'll pick up right guys?

Yeah I'm fairly sure matt said he'd provide funds if people just asked for them. Dunno if he's still doing that, but if he is then there's little/no excuse really.

Glad you won at my event then xo

Idk I find ot strange how habbo itself is getting more dead really and its a huge shame as I enjoy hosting events and playing events that are packed with people.

Thing about peoples job as manager is that you cant really see the full extent of what they're doing unless you're in the department and its like that in a few places idk
