IDEA: Habbox 'Rooms'

[Nick.]

Hello

I've been thinking for quite a while now about this idea, and I'd like to explain it to you now.

For this idea to work, there needs to be a relationship between management and Habbox users. Ultimately, a great relationship. I propose that Habbox add a new department, known as the 'Habbox Room Department'.

What are 'Habbox Rooms'? Habbox Rooms are rooms on Habbo Hotel (or rooms linking together to make a city for example.) which are sponsored by Habbox or 'ran' by Habbox, except they are made by ordinary Habbo members. There would be a couple of rooms sponsored per fortnight/month. Competitions would run in these rooms and events could be held. There could be DJ rooms for HabboxLive made, which would increase the number of listeners. The potential is massive.

The department would consist of a team of 5-10 forum members (who must use Habbo), an assistant manager and a manager. The managers would post announcements, work with the rooms owners to help make the room as successful and 'cool' looking as possible. They would also approve rooms. Once the rooms were approved they would be inspected by the Habbox Room staff (not managers) and go on trial for 1-5 days. Through these three days the staff of Habbox Rooms would have to visit the room and (if linked with other rooms) check all teleporters are working, make sure the room is good enough to be a 'Habbox Room' and make sure the room is appealing. Depending on how big the room is, or how many rooms there are (for example if someone were to make a city) would be how long they would go on trial.

Once passed the trial, they would be added to a waiting list of already passed rooms. New rooms would be added weekly and the rooms would have to be checked daily to ensure the rooms stay popular and are still there (or haven't been trashed). Once a room fails to meet the standards they met through the trial, they would be removed from the list and if the owner wishes their room to become a Habbox room, they would need to re-submit it. These standards would include ease of access and rights for the Habbox Room department for the room in question, to name a few

This would be a great idea for people who love creating cities and theme rooms, and would help get them popular. This idea would also help expand Habbox's popularity. Because, if a room becomes full (25/25) and says Habbox.com in the title, people would see it as it grew to the top of the list in the different categories under Private rooms, therefore more people would visit Habbox. If the people who visit Habbox, visit HabboxForum, the forum would grow, the community would be bigger and more people would be buying VIP. It may not have much of an effect at the beginning of the process but after, let's say, 6 months, this really could help boost Habbox's popularity and help pay for the costly hosting.

Thanks for reading, I'd love to hear any questions you have.

Nick.

Even though I don't use habbo anymore I think it's a great idea

That would be pretty cool but really the only person who could really own it would be an (A)GM because if it was just a dept manager they could leave and 100's of porters not get given to the next manager which would then like jeopodise the idea. And I doubt an (A)GM would have the time to keep it updated but I like it maybe a way round it!

porters? :S

There would be a staff forum for them on HxF and there would be a sticky with a list of rooms awaiting approval and awaiting trial. There would be another stick of current rooms that are in use and the dept. staff would edit it with a date next to each one as to when the last one was checked to make sure it still meets standards.

Any new managers would be fine?

DW then, i get my wires crossed

[Judge Judy]

I like the idea.

I like the idea, however I think a department just for it would be too much.

If you like the idea, then whats stopping you from atleast trying to make it work?

Starting up a new department does not take a minute or two to do properly despite what you think. It requires a lot of thought and time. There are other priorities at the moment such as my exams that are taking up most my time right now. After exams there's a whole load of things queued up to be done that I think Habbox users will appreciate a lot. We have a big to do list for this summer and this idea will be on there but certainly will not come first .

Maybe in future I won't reply to suggestion threads since people like you think that if something isn't done immediately then nothing will be done at all and we are being lazy. What volunteer work do you do may I ask? Maybe if you got a job at Habbox, worked hard and made it to the top to see how much work goes on behind the scenes, you will think twice before saying any staff member is lazy ever again. So much effort is put by everyone here at Habbox. You should start to appreciate what we offer more and keep in mind, this fansite and just like any Habbo fansite is ran by teenagers not executives at massive corporations. We do what we do to learn and burn some time, not to make huge profits.

All suggestions usually require polishing and thinking about, rarely will the thread creator think about all sides. Plus appointing a manager to a new department is no easy task.
