Bring Back HabboxTV

[Judas]

I worked for HabboxTV back in the day and it was so fun.

I have just come back to the forum after a while and it's good to see the community as active and popular as ever, however the main site seems a little boring. There's not much to do, the news section seems to be rarely updated etc... I see it's still an official fan-site, so I think maybe it could use something different and interesting that might make it stand out and seem a bit more lively again.

HabboxTV must have been gone for a long time now, years and years, but even after it closed there were a few popular Habbo TV sites, many of which I worked on. I don't know if there's anything like that still out there now but I think it would be really cool if Habbox brought this back.

With the right people behind it that are dedicated and have creative and interesting ideas, a couple of great and varied shows lined up and cross-department promotions, I believe it could be something really cool.

I mean even if there were just a few pilot series or something to test the waters? No harm in trying. We already have the radio, so why not try and provide another great form of entertainment for visitors to the site?

I'm sure there were plans for this not long ago, or at least lots of support if not actual plans

I mentioned this in a recent thread and it looks promising that it'll be coming back soon. Good potential there I think

Basically scripted shows that were "filmed" on Habbo. There were several different series - dramas, comedies, even chat shows and stuff. It was a separate department of Habbox, it even had it's own website at one point I believe. They were basically screenshots edited together and episodes would be released on a weekly basis, sometimes with viewer interaction etc.

Staff would collaborate to come up with new ideas for show, and non-staff could submit ideas to become producers or writers or whatever and there was a section on the forum for each show and people used to get really excited about new episodes coming out each week etc... It was a really good little community and it was fun making the shows and it was fun for everyone to discuss and watch them.

Really bad flash animations that were essentially Habbo soaps.

I think nostalgia is making people think of HabboxTV as a super great thing - when really, it was quite crap If it was done these days, the quality would have to be much better, and personally, I think the interest would be there if it was done for the forum and about people on the forum, rather than a Habbo soap type thing. I think it was wixard that managed to create those flash things that went down well?
