    It was a huge shame that it also happened after the SS, as it brought lots of news users in, then bam sever dies. Bad timing indeed !

    It might just be me but the decline of fansites has made the forum boring, new members are coming and then leaving within a month or two and even then they post about 15 times. Posting competitions are stupid because it's the people that already post a lot that are gonna win.

    I remember a lot of the spam clique were banned for various reasons, and yet we're sat here wondering why the forum isn't as active as it once was?

    ..thats what happens when you ban your faithful members.

    A mass unban and a shift away from Habbo Hotel towards a more teen based forum. As much as I hate that expression, lets face it - thats where it is going.

    Why would we shift away from Habbo when that is our only and current main come of any new members what so ever? Habbo hasn't closed down yet and if they improve the support for fansites like they are promising and asking us for our ideas then there is no point turning into another ClubHabbo where they are just a forum and aren't really a Habbo fansite no more.

    A mass unban would have to be a case by case because some members still deserve to be banned from this forum. Well, we are on about people who aren't allowed to create accounts on the forum. You also sound like we have banned a lot of members for no valid reasons, no one has been banned for unfair reasons for quite some time now. You and the people who have been banned may not think that of course but that is their opinion which they are entitled to have.

    Because the impression I got and still get is that the forum demographic is a lot older and less interested in Habbo, thats why I think maybe the usual argument of 'we cant allow swearing' and so on ought to be abolished. Or at the least, somehow the forum could be made to accomodate both older members and Habbo users.. somehow, perhaps make all non-Habbo forums come with a warning that they allow curse words and so on. I'm not a fan of swearing anyway as I find it petty and crass, but I do think it ought to be allowed as to old on and attract an older demographic and that Spam posts should also count towards post count - make HabboxForum more of a laid back forum, at the end of the day its only text on a screen.

    I don't know really, its a tough one - i'd like to think the decline could be reversed because it'd be a shame for the forum to end in a few years.

    Not as of recent no, but as we all know under past 'regimes' thats happened - and I think it did so much damage to the userbase which is the reason we are where we are now.

    Also just a thought, why not remove the umbrella threads?

    Such as the F1 thread in the sports section, that would cause more threads and more discussion with a more focal point tbh. I'm not sure people like the idea of looking back through various pages of a thread to understand what any ones talking about.
    Bump...

    Nobody took notice of this so yeah.

    Bring back the trading forums as a section too, it makes them less difficult to find for new users.
    One for the road. :rolleyes:

    I totally disagree. The ship is already filling up with water, doing something like that would sink us.



    What I don't understand is why staff have additional forums to post random crap in. I don't mean to be a buzz kill but i believe many years ago those forums where originally created and still are meant to be used mainly for staff to talk about upcoming events or ideas within that department. That doesn't happen, lets be honest, if it does it's rare. Them forums just form groups which cut people out who haven't got those staff permissions.
    This may sound absurd but would an additional forum be created for people in the ruby usergroup for example? No because it wouldn't be ideal or fair to members out of that usergroup but it seems to be just a normal thing for staff. I personally think private spam threads and threads that don't suit the staff forums have always and will always hurt the forum (As a community).

    The answer in which got replied to question sometime ago was some bullcrap about staff needing to 'bond'. I'm pretty sure the staff forums have staff bonding anyway.The sad thing is the habbox staff only sections get more posts than some of the public forums nowadays which is absolutely crazy.

    I seem to be always drifting back to some form of clique and i understand groups will always form but the thing is they have been formed by management without them even noticing (At least I hope so). That's just my opinion. I'm sure I grabbed the short straw in this argument but I don't really care if I have a problem with something I'm going to throw a childish strop about it, after all I am Richie.

    ikr. & they were banned for the most stupidest reasons. lol i remember someone hacked loads of staff members, evidence was given etcetc but he didn't get banned until he argued with a staff member.
    I WANT GRAHAM BACK. n maybe even saurav and immenseman. and wootzeh.
