This topic has been brought up a lot in the past. I do not want my topic merged with others because this is my personal view and my own topic. Alright so. Since the mute Habbox has yes achieved to become an official Habbo fansite but in terms of activity, just no. If you search "game" in the tab there will be one for every fansite everyday. A month or two before I joined the Habbox events I was an events organizer at thishabbo and they had daily events like every hour. It was packed. So I'm suggesting we do some events with bigger prizes and get more popularity. People just hang in the HXHD all day and you're getting nothing out of that people don't even HELP there. We need a reinforcement of staff - a meeting to get stuff back on track and also need a plan to get the fansite popular. We can do this we just need to work hard. Work hard like the old times to achieve success.

I hope you liked my speech.
Post below your views.

been asking for an action plan for ages. they don't have any ideas.

This will be going on for the next few years Habbox is going to be open.
Everyone "tried" to make a plan for getting Habbox "active" but it's down to the staff, the event's department as we are all well-aware are very let's say - unstable. Since management has changed the last few months and since 2012 and previous.
Good luck trying to get something about an action-plan or anything you could suggest to the manager @dey:;

You're right. We seem to be doing the same tournaments over and over and over because imagination is seriously lacking throughout the entire Habbox Staff.

People just seem to revert back to things 'they know' because ideas are lacking.

I have an idea for the events department but it's only 1.

I'm more than willing to listen to peoples ideas of what they'd like to see in terms of bigger competitions from the Events Department.

Would help if the events manager actually hosted some events as well

About time then!

The trouble here is that valid suggestions are brushed off as merely another idea by another nobody and not actually built on by those with the means to do so. It's kind of annoying that it's always the users that are relied upon to be the innovative ones but if that's what it takes then at least fully take on board when ideas are put forward. Don't just skim feedback threads, read them. LISTEN to them. Build on them.

A fantastic suggestion made last month:

Threads that not only highlight a number of issues but are actually packed with suggestions:
http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=803141

And these are only from the last few months. Look into issues of the past and how they were rectified then or what suggestions were made and not quite fully considered. Habbox feedback is booming. Use it.

Is it true you've scrapped the weekly leaderboard and stopped giving warnings to staff for not reaching their minimums because you weren't hosting your minimum?

It's true that people tend to retreat to their comfort zones when they can't think of anything (mazes, quizzes, tournaments) and in moderation it's not too much of a bad thing and you could even stick to the same thing and put a different spin on it (tournament but with teams of three like the habbox olympics and the habbox world cup before that for instance). I'm talking more generally here. In a way, department managers are merely dealing with the consequences of a slow-moving, unimaginative general management team. Of course that's not to say that managers don't have their role to play but is the lack of activity and the steady decline of new applications because those higher up are not doing their role and if that's the case why is the finger pointed at the department managers and not where it belongs (this isn't at you btw, just making general observations). It has been 7 months since I first asked for an action plan from general management and what ideas have been put in place since then:

- Changes to news department
- Achievements system (still in its early stages and at death's door)
- The Box

Can anyone think of anything else? I can't.

It also comes down to funds too.
I know its a ridiculous excuse but its completely honest.

Being able to afford bigger prizes, as well as the furni for the rooms etc,

Me & @Yuxin; did debate over the Country event, and talked about doing something over the summer in terms of festivals etc etc.
But getting the funds for an event that only last up to a week is difficult.

Me and Gina often to bigger competitions and share the prize between us, which helps a lot, but they're no where near as big as I wish they could be.

I did scrap weekly leaderboards yes, but they're back now. I didn't see a massive use for them as the reward system was scrapped when Lewis left due to being able to afford it, so really it was just calling out the people that didn't host the minimum pointlessly.

Just because the leaderboards were scrapped, warnings definitely weren't.

And it had nothing to do with me not hosting the minimum.
