This has been on my mind for a while, what with the new developments for Halloween skin, the whole V6 scandal (because it's not really coming is it, come on) & like how HabboxLive is unnecessarily it's own site, so here it is.
Why the hell do Site Coders only have access to one directory (www.habbox.com/scripts) when essentially it would be more productive for them to have access to the forum & habboxlive sites as well?
I mean I can see from a security point of view it may be frowned upon, but if you think about it, all of Habbox's sites are hosted on the one server (correct me if I'm wrong), so if you just uploaded a simple script that anyone could write up if they knew how, then that would take the whole server down from one little directory. So that whole shebang about "too risky" is pretty crap.
It would make more sense to give them more access, they do a good job and giving them access to more means more gets done over the three sites. Plus they can help Jamesy out with glitches & server problems, theyre all technical people so let them bloody help!
Discuss.

He's already got access to the "top secret (lol jk never happened)" V6 project so that seems a bit silly sayin that. If that was the case he'd have been booted off the team ages ago, simply because right now it's a security risk, giving him more access wouldn't increase the security risk either.

If they ever need access to certain parts of the website then they are entitled to have access to them. We ty and lower the amount of people who have access to certain parts of the website encase anything does happen or someone decides to do a "**** it, let's just delete it all". Although, I've just noticed something while looking into Cpanel so either way any changes to FTP accounts can't even be made at the moment.

Yes, and I have more access there (I've been there about a week and something) than I have in being here for 10 months. My status on CH has nothing to do with whether or not I am a security risk to HxF. Wouldn't I have leaked v6 plans if I was? Originally Posted by immense

OK The way I thought it worked was that Habbox Site Coders were pretty much like a helpdesk for any department to contact, yknwo like the GFX department, if you want something made then you go chat to them and they sort it for you.
But evidentally this is not the case, which is really a pile of **** way to do it.

Site coders are more than welcome to access the test forum if they are requiring anything like that, as I believe I posted in their forum once before. I don't believe they should be granted access to the live forum as development work should not be carried out on a live forum.
Although as matt's pointed out, our cPanel has gone funky
