International Side of Habbox

[Matt]

Having a look back at Habbox's past and looking through the Wiki, I came across the (unfinished) page about former Habbox roles. I wasn't actually aware of the Assistant General Manager (International) role that was around, or the fact we had Habboxworld (before my time). According to the page, it says it was quite successful and was closed due to the costly running of the site.

Seeing as Habbox doesn't have any real infrastructure for the international side (because it's non-existent), would it not be worth having something in place to at least attempt at reviving it? Moving to OC, NA Managers and entirely new departments is a massive change where you'd need the staff in the first place to actually make the move (and therefore I'm not asking for that) but it would be cool to maybe try introduce something to tackle that side of Habbox? I feel like any new international members that join just leave due to Habbox dying once it gets to like 11pm.

Yes we get the occasional non-GMT manager passing through but they never last long due to timezones being blamed for poor communication and things being so hard in terms of monitoring staff (or at least that's the experiences I've had).

If you didn't want to have every department branching into OC, NA etc why not have an international side that comprises of all departments.

E.G.

AGM International
Intl Habboxlive DJ
Intl Events Organiser
Intl Help Desk Staff

Those are ofc just the community depts but they'd all report to the AGM and saves having separate managers? Or alternatively they could report to the standard managers but they'd fall under AGM international? There's a few ways you could have it, that's just one way I can think of. Not sure if you'd need to have non-community departments branching into international roles but it could happen too.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks Matt for writing this post for me.

Yeh its not a bad idea, I think I was super mod on HabboxWorld & Help desk manager for CA.

In all honesty, it was totally dead, but it was a new forum, it'd be interesting to have it on here. I think its worth a try, if all fails, it fails so what

[Matt]

if all fails, it fails so what

I agree. No harm in trying imo.

I can't recall anything really being in place for the international side since I joined. But I was inactive from 09 - 11 I think.
@Nick; would be good in the role

I think it's a good idea. Though I don't think we would need a whole entirely new forum, and what not but I think if we were to have our staff in all levels of management (AGM, Manager, seniors, regular) There will be enough staff that would help us take the step into getting an international side.

I don't think we need a new forum. We struggle with forum activity as it is. I just feel like with the model I suggested below isn't really introducing any new roles (except one) and it would fall into place with the pre-existing structure Habbox has in terms of staff. If it did fail, you'd just get rid of "Intl" and go back to normal.

And lets be honest; Team Bravo (When i first joined habboxlive) was meant for International DJs. AESTand CA was most common in that department because the Head/Senior DJs would be around to help out.
