Action Plan

[Chris]

Haven't we had quite a few different coders/people working on it during these past few years though? How can we be sure that the current coders won't be exactly the same; i.e do a bit of work then be 'too busy' to make enough progress for it to be released within a decent time frame etc? Other departments have minimums they have to follow, so I presume the site coders are monitored too in terms of doing a certain amount of week and presenting evidence of what they've achieved? Or is it more layed back in that role?

Far more layed back. Given the situation, we can't be too picky.

We haven't used the "CANT DO THAT UNTIL V7" excuse for ages IIRC. There are some things which naturally will be made easier when v7 is released - some things are impossible on the current site and all coders are diverted onto v7 work, but it hasn't stopped us from revamping two departments to make them more relevant despite the difficulties presented back-end, which we work around. Simple fact is, we can't release V7 until it's coded.

were u told not to use that excuse until v7

only positive feedback is listened to and built upon. negative feedback which is usually the most useful is ignored. fact.

Not completely 'fact' but true for most of the time. I'll agree the feedback section can be very daunting when everyone is shouting all at once, but I'm so frustrated with the apparent lack of progress. How else are we supposed to react after four years? I honestly don't care that you keep saying you're doing stuff behind the scenes, PROVE IT. Why should we take your word for granted?

Why is it practically everyone is clamouring for general management to make an action plan and still they refuse?

nope, it's a fact. only suggestions for improvement or features (the box, for example) is heard and anything that requires actual thinking and problem solving skill is disregarded.

oh my bad, you seem to be right. I've just been back through the last two pages of habbox feedback and not a single in-depth problem has been properly tackled as far as I can see

I honestly think one if the current problems is you're doing too many big events when you need to concentrate on the departments, I saw it with the help desk. Didn't get a chance to build on the staff because we were always expected to do our part in a big e vent.

Now dont get me wrong, I'm impressed with the fact they happen but it's not what is needed and isn't really getting any new members in.

Do an action plan, put in it your goals (staffing, rebuilding the departments, evaluate what the community is saying with thoughtful answers instead of just justifying what you already do).

You've got a chance now to make some big changes with having a new gm, utilise it,get out of the mattg regime and build your own.

Like fansites used to be!

I fail to see the reason why the input is needed from people who have no knowledge of what is really happening behind the scenes in General Administration.

Yes, yes it doesn't look like much has been done by the site coders for the new v7 v8, but I think a little bit of thanks would be more suited here?
They've not long been in the department as newly appointed Site Coders. I know for a fact they've been slaving away to get things done for v7 v8 (only @Rhyss; will get why it's not v7).
Getting someone outside of Habbox or Habbo is completely and utterly stupid. That would totally make the idea of a Habbo(x) themed version applicable to a outsider of Habbo(x). They will have no idea of what Habbo is or of that Habbox. As well as this, if you have so much to complain about that v7 isn't being completed then why don't you take some action? Because, frankly everyone can sit there and complain for 2 years that nothings being done, but at the end of the day it's a voluntary job and it's not something that has to be worked on 24/7. The Site Coders believe it or not have lives (shocking right?).

In the end it's all down to this fellah:


Also, like previously mentioned - Habbox is doing too many big events and community events that it's not taking any time to look at the smaller things that Habbox needs to be able to improve that's mentioned in various Feedback threads, that may not be yet addressed.
Once, these have been addressed then go back to the big events. Big events, aren't a priority - right?

[Kyle]

have you literally got a list of passive aggressive key phrases on standby for every feedback thread?

1. not stupid to get someone who actually knows how to code. what it's for doesn't matter so long as you can describe the features you want well enough.
2. I/WE/THEY/X have lives. yes but why take on a voluntary role if you aren't going to do anything for it? There has been plenty of time to dedicate to V7/8 over the last four years, it just hasn't been done.
3. what alternative action to giving feedback when they're disappointed would you suggest that members take?

[Inseriousity.]

hosting big events isn't priority, no, but why is there this idea that someone can only do 1 thing at once.
