Forum is murdering itself

[HotelUser]

Jin has been messaged this thread and I will speak to him when he comes online... i've contacted him and he is on his way home so i will give him the low down too!

I think it's safe to assume at this point that there will be a million and one people asking him to fix the server

Facebook just loaded quicker than this thead.. and there was only one post on this page. - Bare in mind I clicked HabboxForum first.

Please hurry.

this has been mentioned time & time again.. i myself mentioned it about 3 weeks ago and nothing has changed what so ever so why should i believe it will be fixed soon?

Simply put, don't.

Okay so, spoken to Jin on this matter and got a bit of clarification. Bear with me, I am not technically minded but, in noob speak: the server requires some fiddling in order to fix it, this involves Linux. Jin sorted out someone highly recommended in the world of Linux to fix it, but they have failed to do so - hence why Jin was unaware because he thought that it was being fixed. This individual has now been given an ultimatum if not there is a back up company we will be falling back on to fix the server if it doesn't happen very soon.

Long story soon, the wheels are in motion and it should be fixed in the near future.

He won't take much notice of them. I'm also still annoyed about why he wouldn't allow the use of Tapatalk on the forum, it takes no effort at all to setup and provides a far nicer user experience than the mobile skins. It took 8 months to get a simple "No" out of him.

I am sure he said he would test it? But I presume he never did.

Why not use donator money and the like to buy a Managed server solution? The company will take responsibility of the server and it's resource usage. It would fix the problem and the forum wouldn't be relying on Jin to keep the server going.

They don't get ALOT from donor. And the VIP system is all wrong. I have suggested how to bring in more income in a clever way and still give out VIP but they refuse to listen. If management want to know how then they are free to PM me and I will explain once again.

What pisses me off the most is it's taken you all so long to realise relying on Jin is frankly ridiculous. For well over a year I've been highlighting the danger of having someone who's constantly away to wield all the power. Did it really not occur to anyone it cannot work like this?

Jin is forever away for various reasons. Whenever I've said that to him before he's carried on about how he needs to earn a living and have a life, that's all very well but if he cant dedicate to Habbox he should leave. And then he'll give the whole excuse that he pays for it, that's all very well too but it doesnt mean you need to ruin it for everyone else.

Frankly Jin can do no wrong and he's too much of a power-freak to trust anyone else to sort technical issues. I've no doubt he gets some sort of buzz that the whole forum relies on him.

R.I.P. Habbox

sierk handed it to Jin as sierk lacked time. Now its time for Jin to give full power to the GM - the same power nvr and MAD had.

Okay I can understand Jin is probably busy, but where the hell is MattG? No offence to him but I haven't seen him post in any of these threads yet he is on Skype? Surely in a borderline crisis (Garion's words) such as this, the general manager of Habbox, the next step down from Jin is present.

Nooo idea.

If Jin is busy thus being away most of the time, Matt should have Jin's contact details so he can phone him about more urgent things such as this and get instant answers. The way it appears to be now is that you can PM Jin about something but not get a reply for a long time due to his inactiveness.

Matt already has Jins mobile number.

I strongly agree with the above posts, as a moderator your job is based around editing, posting usernotes, sending pm's and infracting. Each of those processes requires the loading of a new page, and once you've started the infraction process (for instance you've just edited the post), you can't really stop. So if the forum starts failing, you can't just say "**** it, i'll do this infraction later", you have to carry on. It's really annoying when you have to wait for ages for each page to load, and sometimes you have to wait out that period of time 4 times (one for each of the processes). Its really hard to do your job

Yeah it does seem to have been really slow lately.

In regards to the comment about people always saying the Forum is 'Dieing', i think it's what is called a 'self fulfilling prophecy' where people start saying something and due to this it actually happens, i think you could pin this on the whole of Habbox. There are no stats to say Habbox is failing, there are no stats to say Habbox is doing amazing, so i think people say such comments are just damaging. I mean even if we did loose most our of members, we are still here? It's only a Habbo fansite, it's all for fun. There's no purpose for it, it's not a business. Aslong as it's bringing a few people together and provides information for just 1 person, it is still successful.

The reasons why I haven't been posting will come out at later date, sooner rather than later. But this thread isn't for that, Jin is aware of the server problems and If I remember correctly he also mentioned the support for the server was from was also ********. So I guess we are having problems on that side to. I'm not sure what the full on latest is with that but once General Management know, I'm sure one of them will inform you all.

Thanks matt, uhm maybe post this in the announcements because that is were everyone will look.
