Habboxlive suggestion

[Foregetfuhl]

We only have two australian DJs so no way can we even contemplate bringing in an OC side without the push to bring in an OC side, but baring in mind there isn't really any kind of OC side at Habbox as a whole that would prove extremely difficult. At the moment I'm having to be on to cover the NA side as well because we have a very new Head DJ for the internationals. We've been told time and time again that there is no need for an international radio manager and unless Grig came back I wouldn't really trust anyone else either (sorry to my department that are int. but I don't at this point in time)

At the moment only events that count that they can do for events are giveaways any type and win a room competition which they don't do and at the moment it is a serious problem that is being addressed. I'm back from exams and what now anyway so it all getting sorted as much as possible with Mark hopefully returning in the next couple of weeks as well.

It is just one of those things unfortunately that Habbox as a whole doesn't have an international side and it is something that needs to be addressed fully if we have any chance at having a dedicated team like other fansites do. I know for a fact how HFFM runs and I love their way of running but until we have a good full international team that isn't something that will be easily achievable.

yea not denying that you didn't was just stating it to grig

-----------------

+ I agree with Jazz a lot really, more stuff to do with news was something me and her were discussing a bit and it's definitely something that I need to probably discuss with jade/mark really to actually get going more too, sort of just halted really. Lots of weeklies of all sorts are definitely a good way to go forward tho

What I was mainly saying was that you said you do weeklies each week yet you don't, I know you're inactive and I understand a head did them last week, but we weren't pushed to previously, it's just like when it seemed you and Ryan had just gone away or limited and I had to do all senior duties, although I never see how someone who is away can still post or be on the forum constantly. For example, I'm away now and.haven't spent much time on the forum or Habbo. Really though I can link this to what Jade said, it doesn't help if the manager is away and that's my problem now, I still am berry ill at the moment and you just need to be alone, but people need that role to go to when help is needed.

I've waffled on, basically don't state incorrect information, have someone on hand if you need to go away that way your department doesn't suffer as much.

Having no OC side basically excludes a huge part of habbo as chances are the radio will be down if they decide to listen, god knows how they would even find out about it since there is nothing promoting habbox after 12pm every night lol.

as for the trust thing, surely it wouldn't be up to you to decide a manage who is equal to you and works along side you? did you not get trusted to run the department despite being here only three months? i don't see why you can't do the same for someone else.. lol

My opinions do come into consideration lol.

And we do have an NA side, not 100% strong but we do have 13 NA people at the moment, 2 OC and the rest are UK. The times that are the problem are roughly 7am through to 2pm when the UKs come back from school. These would be the times that australian/new zeland/ other areas over that way would be DJing but we don't have them and with a lack of that side in ALL departments it is difficult to improve on. There aren't events on generally at that time either, it isn't just HxL.

Oceanic people can likely fit into parts of UK/US times considering people don't sleep for 12 hours a day most of the time, and the evening in Australia isn't necessarily going to be a time when the entire rest of the world is asleep. They could come under UK or US management depending on when they prefer to work, since unless we suddenly have an influx of people from down under join up as DJs it's not worth creating a management role for it

One thing I'd like to know is, not regarding other departments much, but maybe have seniors of the community departments more inclined to help with the bigger events like they do in the actual department - Jade, how come they can only do giveaways, win a rooms etc. have they got any ideas or have they asked maybe an EO or someone if they could borrow their room or Wired game for an hour or two?

That isn't what they can only do, they can do what they want with their events, just the majority aren't exactly bringing that innovation into the department to do such a thing. Unfortunately it would be pointless to host proper events as we have EO's for that so providing it is something that can be done via the radio we'd be up for them trying it. Fact is you won't know if something is going to go well until you try it like with Dear Calum... that an idea we thought of before Christmas but until Calum came along noone wanted to try it and it did extremely well on Saturday in my eyes. We have loads of ideas its just taking the step forward to put them out there whilst also keeping an eye on a whole load of other things that need sorting out right now purely down to the fact that the past month has been exam/coursework season so for the majority of HxL it hasn't been a priority, myself and Mark included.

didn't really read through this thread too thoroughly but i was tagged about something to do with The Vault so i thought i'd put my 2 cents in:

whilst The Vault was fun and engaged some of the community, the format was flawed... i'm not sure if Habbo's changed now in terms of the amount of people you can have in your room but when i was active it was 50, so technically only 50 people could get involved with the show, because, let's face it, tuning into someone commentating about someone pushing a couple boxes and pulling a lever is not very invigorating, but then again people did.

perhaps if the vault returned with a focus on the radio side rather than habbo client it may be more successful...

on a completely different note, i saw some discussion about the international side of habbox(live) and i suggest another habbox24 which was, for anyone who can't remember, 24 hours of radio and client events where you win points in the events and the person with the most points at the end wins a prize (throne or whatever)... many members from the community stayed up and competed and it also drew in some new international members.

That's the way to move forward. Trial and error and I believe that is what we are doing with lots of things in HxL at the moment!

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah briefly mentioned Dear Calum in my earlier post but it really needs to be said again: that's the sort of thing that HxL needs more of. Was hilarious and that's from someone who isn't all chummy with the DJs and stuff

Also with regards to The Vault I think Logan's probably right in that it ought to not be a client-based competition due to room limits, or at least base it on getting around different rooms and not staying in one place
