Habbox Live concerns

[Calvin]

i said do a talk show ages ago using skype

Yeah this would be good, or even who wants to be a millionaire or something.

Also, I think someone could try and get a Habbo staff member on Habbox as theres been alot of changes, so someone who managed the US Hotel or something.

I am going to be quite controversial and say that maybe it is time to close down Habboxlive? Why I am saying this is that in the past departments have been shut down due to the lack of users (HabboxTv, Habbo Friends etc).

Why do I think this should happen? There is no need for Habbo radios now, going back about 6 years ago it was the boom for Habbo radios with HabboHut and Habboxradio being the main competitors. At that point the radio would be on often and listeners would be sky high but now they barely reach over 100 listeners?

If the radio department was gotten rid of then it would save on money and space for habbox overall. Sorry to all those working at HxL, you are doing a good job but maybe it is time for a re-think on the department

Faults:

1) What happens if they haven't got a mic?
2) What happens if they swear on air?
3) How would someone get picked?

The knots need tying up even before the idea is planned really.

This is a really good idea!

I heard Molly.22 talk about it in the Help Desk.

Although, I do think closing HxL completely is maybe something the management WON'T do.

I think that HxL should get closed and basically merge it with Habbox so basically you just DJ on Habbox, and say "You're tuned into Habbox" and it's just on the main site with a radio section.

@Angel-Light I think a bit of time should be given to see what will happen before closing HxL down is considered. It's been literally about 3-4 months of listeners being bad, that could easily change and the listeners could eventually get back to what they were. Other radios such as ClubHabbo & HFFM aren't closing down and they have even less listeners than HabboxLive.

Edit: I like Dean's idea though, HabboxLive & Habbox could be merged. Sounds a bit weird saying "you're tuned into Habbox" though, I'm probably just used to hearing HabboxLive

Shutting down the radio because its not as active as it was before is stupid. Overall habbox has hit rock bottom its not only habboxlive thats having problems. Rare values is having problems, ahh sure lets close the rare values. Oh and news is becoming inactive too lets shut that down too. If habbox start killing departments eventually there will be nothing left. Sure, if habboxlive closes you might aswell scrap everything but the forum, habbox.com won't be needed, not many people read the news because they have habbo news and no one uses the rare values because of the marketplace.

If habboxlive closes down I can assure you it will slowly kill habbox, habbox needs to keep its departments but work with them to make them popular again. It can happen it just needs effort and a bit of money.

I also agree with Dean, Habboxlive isn't needed as a whle site and really just needs one tab which puts all things which are needed in it. Saves money too.

What money does it save exactly? I'm sure even if the habboxlive site was scraped they would still stick were their hosting package. The domain? If jin is struggling to pay what 10£ a year for a domain close habbox now.


EDIT:
In the past habboxlive was just a player but overtime the radio community itself started to break away and habboxlives own site brought it back together, getting rid of the site is only going to make things worse.

I think HabboxLive is needed as a whole site, merging it would damage it even more like it did before. We have our own space and people can tune in via Habbox if they wish.

I don't think that HabboxLive's time is up just yet we are going to try and improve, I was just talking with Roxy and we are going to work to make sure that the shows are more interesting with more chances to win bigger and better prizes and the bigger competitions will happen more often.

I think closing HxL altogether might be overshooting the runway. No, it's nowhere near as prosperous as it once was but that doesn't mean that we're struggling to maintain 20-30 listeners. If this were the case (or if it is and I'm wrong here) then closing would be plausible.
