The 'Box

[Drewar]

Just a quick note to say that I really enjoy The 'Box.

It's very well put together, informative, and beautifully presented.

Great job to @lawrawrrr and everyone else who is involved

Started to be a much more community thing now. Great job @lawrawrrr;

Yeah I went through them the other day and it genuinely is really good, I would encourage people to check them out.

And whilst you're at it check out www.habbox.com/comps xoxo (sorry it had to be done)

yeah I enjoy reading it too

Agreed. One thing I would say is that it's a little buried. Any way to make it more prominent? As of right now I think the only "discovery" method is via certain signature images. I don't think you'd find it on the website unless you were specifically looking for it. Maybe one of the rotating banner images on the homepage?

This isn't a bad idea actually! There's usually a forum notice of some kind around the time it comes out but I know I don't do nearly enough to promote it! I'd hope people tell their friends and stuff about it and pass on the message about it 'cos there's only so many people I can spam with the link! Definitely willing to think of more ways because I really enjoy doing it and want to give something to the community from a Content side of things.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments, by the way

I suggested a subscription thing where you get told that it's been released if you sign up to being notified about it cos I nearly missed it this month myself.

It's a shame it couldn't have its own widget/be embedded into habbox.com or something as I think it would be a neat feature to have on the main site to keep it up to date.


Remove the articles and embed the box on the front page woo!



Seriously though, I love reading the box, I think everyone works super hard on it and it always has funny bits too which I think really helps brighten everything up!

Agreed, this would be great.

I also like the approach with releasing teasers and advance info through The Box. Obviously you won't always have things as big as HxSS all the time but even small notices about things that are coming down the pipeline gives people another reason to read it and get the news a little earlier.

Yes, I will be implementing this for the next edition, opening "applications" to the subscription later this month

I like the idea of a widget, but at the moment the focus is a bit on V7, so we'll see what can be done there!
