New Member Awards

[-Nick]

I think to promote to get new members, each new member when they sign up gets 1 week worth of normal vip, this might help them see the VIP features, then they might get addicted to habbox, when it runs out they - want more so they enter compeitions and events etc...

Thoughts? Maybe have it so its non transferrable? I thought maybe when they sign up, they get a PM saying something like this

'Welcome blah blah blah, heres the curret compeitions, would love you to enter... Heres today events, it would be lovely to see you to come to one... Something here to start this next sentence.. We are giving you 1 week of free vip, just reply to this PM saying which colour you would like,
[list colours and all features]! Kind Regards, Matthew or whoever!'

Thoughts?

No.

We give away way too much VIP as it is through competitions and seasonal events etc.

That's the current Welcome PM unless it has been edited since I joined

I see no problem with this, it's always been the case that we have a huge influx of people signing up and then hardly any of them staying/being active so if after all these years we're going to finally start combating that problem it can only be a good thing. If it's only a week and non-transferable then why not

For 1 week and being non transferable?

It's still pointless.

Then they might assume that's normal and quit when they find out you can't view who repped you and whatever else you get with VIP, and then it's down to colour as some people might hate specific ones (and most colours look ugly on specific skins).

It's unnecessary imho and I can't see someone sticking about because they have 1 week of VIP.

They will be yold that, they have more chance of sticking around if they have a week of vip, its non transferrable its worth a shot tbh! @Phil;

People won't stick about because they have VIP, if people sign up then rarely post then they obviously don't like the content or discussions on the forum. Not because they have a non bold blue username.

give them habbo rewards coz they're thirsty and dont care about the forum

[GommeInc]

I can't see it working. I doubt it's about what you can do as a member, you use a forum for discussion rather than the the VIP perks such as who has repped you - and as a new member these perks aren't really that useful and how would you control the colour of their names? If I was given a pink shirt when signing up for a society and had it removed a week later I would feel kind of insulted, especially if no one really welcomed me or nothing in the society really engaged me.

EDIT: If they're coming from Habbo maybe engage them on Habbo and get them to engage in the forum somehow? If there are the same faces turning up at events then that may be the first problem.
