Recent low activity

I'm just speaking the truth, most other people obviously can't admit it.

Activity can be blamed on people like you essentially telling new members, when they come up with an idea, to **** off. Solely. On you.

P.S - exactly what Kyle said.

You may well be sick of the threads but some of us think there's still a glimmer hope for habbox so want to give constructive feedback. Why are you volunteering as a member of staff if you're so anti-progression :S

Habbo is a lot different from years ago, the user amount is nowhere near what it was back then. Habbox only really gains users from Habbo. If Habbo is fighting a loosing battle, Habbox is also going to be affected. Yes small things may increase the activity but we still rely on Habbo, and Habbo is just fighting a loosing battle.

It's just the harsh truth i'm afraid as much as we all hate it. As for volunteering for staff - it's because I enjoy it, and I would LOVE for Habbo/Habbox to be the way it was back in 2006/2007. It still leads back to that this is just the harsh truth and we should all accept things are not going to be the way they where years back.

I mean we've had the same HxL layout since 2009 or something... and Habbox.com has such bad coding its not even worth visiting

Tell me, when you're talking amongst friends and you get into a debate are you always right?

I just know i'm right about this topic

i think people need to stop blaming the lack of activity on habbo when other fansites have thriving community both on and off client... but jord is right, this thread has been made so many times before and there is nothing to show for all the previous ones

I know people will disagree but really there isn't a great deal of people left to pull in that will stay imo, most other fansites seem to have claimed most of the people anyway now and it'll be hard to steal them off them without very good ideas (not saying there isn't any cause there definitely is and hopefully I can tackle that in this.) ? no-one who isnt already at fansites shows a great deal of interest in these sort of things anymore, they either just want to rp, do mazes or deal or other stuff like that. And I do feel even though we are driving away these "noobs", they aren't super likely to stay anyway once they do join up for a bit, sure they'll stay for a little while but there will always be people getting fed up with them and driving them out) Obviously we can get small improvements in numbers and stuff like news radio and events probably are the areas where we could be getting a lot more people as they have more interest for most players of habbo nowadays, who would probably class things such as forums as "boring" or "pointless", even half the staff seem to think that about the forum tbh, even remember a few staff back when I was in rv with 0 post count.......

Events is definitely something to tackle though if we really do want to increase the members. The problem lies in why we are getting so few other people except people who are already regulars attending our events. Obviously the main ones mentioned in the thread already in reality, not enough events being hosted, not enough attention by hosts, not great events rooms, but also probably most importantly the types of events hosted. I keep mentioning about how the events that are being hosted are constantly the same luck games and alex has said he is doing stuff about it but in all honesty I really haven't seen much of an improvement. There is no wonder when you consider the amount of events such as trivia, multitasking and other more interactive games as well as more variety in places such as hffm why they actually have much better turnouts, and a system like what they have with rewarding hosts for doing more unique events should really be put in place, such as a seperate leaderboard or something or heavy benefits in their leaderboard for hosting unique events, cause that is really what draws in the people.

Permanent events could really do quite well as well, as I know people like me and geo have said to dragga plenty of times to make his gladiator game permanent, games like this which do actually get really full and are more unique should be really promoted, and permanent games would be great towards having the name of habbox put across. The idea of a death run is also really good and I personally would be really happy to see something like that introduced, and the idea of 1 room is especially important with bringing the name forwards on the title. I would personally be very happy to work on one myself as i'm sure some other people would be, and I believe all sorts of permanent games like these really are the way forwards.

Weekly events should also really make a bigger return. Yes prime culprit of the great maze speaking here and I know it wasn't great, but there are all sorts of things that really should be done more of. I know me and Jazz have been planning stuff to do with like news related weekly shows for hxl, and this really does show all sorts of new unique ideas can be brought about, and these are the sort of things that will be keeping people here.

Finally on the last topic I personally want to talk about that could make a large impact before this becomes too undertaker like, Ltd valuing. In my honest opinion it's the way forward for this site, rare values could definitely become what it once was if we could just knuckle down and get some method of sorting this out, there isn't that many anyway so a list of all the numbers or just general number ranges with some suggested values could really benefit, obviously valuing stuff like the very best numbers would be silly but we can definitely provide updated general values and considering the amount of people completely unsure of values this would create extra interest.
