Posting Competitions

[Jssy]

My opinion is I like it. I haven't been able to post for ages due to problems with my account but when there's posting competitions there are more users online and more active threads.

Do you actually care about your users? You seem so focused on getting the forum more popular that you don't care about the impact it has on your existent users.

You absolute fool, you don't care for HabboxForum you care for yourself, - you're selfish. The existent users wouldn't have a forum to post on if new members carried on being scared away and didn't enjoy posting on HabboxForum. I've been involved in the running of this forum for a very long time and I can safely say I know how it runs. As Milestone has said if one more user starts posting more because of this competition it's successful.

It has no effect on existent users it's just fools like you crying about it for the sake of it. If new users don't post then this forums done with... it's people like you who have nearly killed this forum.

Jesus Oli relax and you're wrong, people like myself enjoy replying to constructive threads and threads with meaning. As I said I'm all for new members, I'm just against the way that you're going about it.

P.s
If everyone went around the forum calling others fools or idiots they'd be banned for provoking arguments. Just saying.

So I'm a 'posting nazi' a 'fool' and a 'bigot' (from your minus rep) because I don't share your opinion.

A1. Respect other forum members ~ Always respect other forum members, this means do not be rude towards them and respect their opinions. You should not bully or victimise other members for any reason and you should not behave in a negative manner excessively.

Oli needs to calm the hell down sometimes. I dunno how he gets away with being rude to anyone who have negative opinions

Agreed I think it's just a "heat of the moment" thing lol

No, because you have no idea about running a forum or a fansite. At the end of the day people often point out that Habbox has too many members that don't post, so we set up a system to encourage them to post. The aim is to show them the benefits from posting on HabboxForum. I disagree with the principle of a posting competition in itself however I see the long term possible effects, ive spoken to 5 people in the top ten, one of whom posted 2 times in 2 months before this competition. She now has over 100 posts and all are of good quality (I checked). I asked her if she enjoyed posting and whether she would post as much after the competition and she said "Its shown me that the forum is quite fun, I didn't think it would be because it used to seem quite boring, I obviously won't post as much as I won't be trying to win but I'll definitely post more than before" - similarly the girl who posted above also said this.

At the end of the day my concern is this sites future and if new users don't start posting older ones (like you) will start disappearing and this forum will be left on it's arse. That's why we put focus on new users and don't give me bullcrap that older users don't get anything because I spent nearly 70% of my time as Forum Manager pleasing older users and I realised after too long that it's not the way forward and doesn't work. This competition doesn't effect how you post on HabboxForum, you are moaning for the sake of it. Numerous users have posted in this thread proving how this competition is nothing but beneficial to this forum, Milestone (who not gonna lie usually annoys the hell out of me in feedback) is quite against this competition in principle but he recognises that if it makes one person post more than they did before after the competition, it's good for HabboxForum.

Open your eyes, please.

Oh and those accusing me of being rude, calling someone a fool or foolish isn't against the HabboxForum rules, it's barely rude and is showing my opinion that he is acting unwisely.

Everybody relax and calm down.

pmsl I remember when I made that thread in spam and people where getting stressed because I was acting like a religious freak LOL


A fool is just a nice alternative to idiot, it isn't justifiable.

Tbh it's not about whether it's rude or not, it's about you being management and should be treating people's opinions with respect and not calling them fools or whatever
