I think it's clear to everyone who's ever used the client frequently enough to know that there are 2 communities at Habbox:
- the Habbo community.
Usually younger, more likely to enter competitions, attend events, listen to HxL but not necessarily use the forum. Will give feedback more spontaneously and via discussion rather than the rather rigid feedback forum. Also more banter, gossip and ********.
- the forum community
Older, don't regularly use Habbo, less likely to get involved with Habbox activities and stick to discussion, using Habbox more out of habit than because they're active on Habbo or care about creds etc. Active around the forum.
The problem with Habbox at the moment is that things are often focused on the forum community, they are the most vocal (in forums like this) about what can be improved. Things and new features are often 'targeted' towards the forum community. The Habbo community is dying. Events, when they happen, can take a while to fill up, the help desk is empty during the day, HabboxLive don't have parties or any sort of Habbo interaction. I think a large part of this is precisely because general management do not use Habbo frequently so the only feedback they have to go on is the forum community. That does absolutely nothing for the Habbo community, which is essential for boosting up numbers and keeping Habbox alive long-term because that forum community will eventually slide away with no Habbo community to keep it going. Things need to be targeted towards Habbos, towards 'noobs' and newbies who are more likely to get involved. When I was comps manager, entries increased tenfold because of an increase in advertising on Habbo (which by the way is why I get really annoyed when people say comps isn't a community department just because it's on the forum) and when comps are directed towards getting the forum community involved, it inevitably falls flat.
TLDR: we need an action plan to address the declining Habbo community and to know what general management are working on to increase our Habbo presence.
PS I am aware that there is some obvious overlap and that you may not fit neatly into 1 of these categories but generally speaking, it's what I tended to find during my time as AGM.
