    i remember h0bj0b was a great dj, and if i rmember correctly the only reason i used to tune in

    the only decent & recognisable dj left is ,jess, if she still does it

    you need more long term dj's that people will automatically assosiate with habbox. that alone will bring in more listeners

    it's all well & good taking on 13 year old but at the same time you need quality, and atm the younger dj's simply arn't offering it

    I try my best to DJ as much as I can and I try to be as proffessional as I possibly can.. for a habbo DJ.
    Agreed alot of the DJ's aren't as good as they used to be, but it's not us who can change it it's Jess & Gemma.
    Jess does DJ not much though I have to say and there is still a few DJs who are recognised in the Habboxlive community, Matt is rather recognisable as he last month did nearly 100 hours on the Radio making him well known.

    Obviously the DJs will never be as proffessional as DJs on radios such as Radio 1 but that's because they have been trained we are simply DJs who come on a laptop and DJ from what we hear and what we know, regardless of wether we can get good sounding DJs is another matter, I personally feel Jess and Gemma just hire the best out of the apps and then hire them weather or not they have been listenend to because they are.. sad to say it but desprate.

    If this is the case then maybe senior DJs should have a larger role in Habboxlive to train the not so good DJs into being as proffessional as possible, kind of like a DJ school but again we can't be very proffessional its a habbo radio with a young target audience and occassionally the older listeners who tune in.

    Hireing DJs from only popular fansites isn't possible as wether they seem good or not there not as good as Habboxlive therefore technically not good, if that makes sence, also if we really need the DJs then it's not possible to reject everyone because we need them however again they could be trained up a bit more to maybe make them better DJs than they are.

OH THERE SHOWS ON TONIGHT, IM GOING TO TUNE IN, because none of them shine threw, there the same old mainstream music playing boring Djs, i know habbox cant help that, but that is its main flaw, H0BJ0B AKA dj knowalot Djed a few days ago at 2pm i tuned in, DJ jess AKA Marlibrite is still around known as jess, and knuxibf aka Mikey. was also a Legend Dj who we dont hear from anymore, theses DJs will always be remembered for the unique quality's and the great shows they had to offer,

    Moden day 13 yearold hannah montainer loving mainstream boredom creating Children , will not

    Yeah I do agree that fansites have died over the years and that there aren't any unique DJs around really. Need to get thinking!

Unfortunately the amount of DJs with experience from major sites who are excellent DJs of a quality beyond anything we could hope for are in rather short supply. We do try to give our listeners the best we can, but our staff are volunteers who give up their own time for no form of payment and therefore professional DJs are, as I say, in short supply. What we need to do is find those with potential and train them up to become the best possible DJs - limiting HabboxLive to those with all this experience you are suggesting results in 0 applications and ultimately, very few DJs. It simply wouldn't work.

    Of course when you say hire DJs with experience from sites such as HFFM and CH, I could just refer to listener numbers:

    HxL - 69 (oh my! )
    CH - 30
    HFFM - 29

    So in fact, one could say that it makes very little sense to bring DJs in solely from fansites that are in fact, not succeeding as well as our own?

    At the end of the day, we will choose the DJs we think are best for the job. We will endeavour to ensure they reach a high standard and if they don't, they will be removed.
    I do partially agree with you here, although virtually every dj who gets a trial at habbox has "experience" at djing at other fansites - normally that get 5 listeners a day maximum, so I don't agree that habbox shouldn't hire djs as good as our own. Why don't we have a few senior djs listening to other official fansites, and if there are some really good djs - why not offer them a job? Most dj's would jump at the chance to get to a bigger fansite. At least then we know that they can actually dj, instead of basing it mainly on writing skills - I know for a fact I could pass virtually every department here - as without trying to be big headed, I am (when I need to be) very good at writing.

    Anyway, been writing this on my phone - so god knows what I have actually ended up writing!

    That's just it though, we woulden't like it if other fansites decided to scout around Habboxlive stealing our DJs and we wouldent like doing the same back, Personally I think that it's a silly idea having DJ apps trial for two weeks on main radio.
    There maybe should be three stages; application, Trial on test radio for a bit and then the two week trial on Habboxlive this could possibly cut down on those just getting lucky.

    It's an online job, not a driving test. Let's not get carried away. Experience comes over time and someone can only get experience if they're given a chance. I'm sure Jess doesn't pick DJs based on a fancy DJ name but whether they have the potential. It's possible that you liked these DJs better in 2006 not because they're older but because you were younger at the time; the same way people say Habbo isn't as good as it used to be.
