I'm sure the News department were running a Room Of The Week competition before? Like picking a room that's been posted into Cool Rooms and reviewing it.

What happened to it?

[Martin]

Habboxlive decided to run something similar, so we felt it was only needed in one department.

It's something I did enjoy working on though, and I did think it could do well. It would have been great for giving publicity to habbos rooms thus increasing site view hits, and creating a vital link between the site and Habbo.


I *think* that habboxlive have took this off their site/no longer do a room of the week/room review, so it maybe something we could take over again.

What did it have to do with HabboxLive anyway? It was more to do with News imo. But now that they removed it perhaps you could go for it!

No idea, but I think they were choosing a listeners room or something each week, and writing up a full review of it on the habboxlive site.

Yeah it's gone from there now, so I will check with Gemma to make sure, however it's certainly something I'm keen on bringing back.

I will also discuss the option with Jamesy about possibly making a stickied thread in the cool rooms section perhaps, to make sure the forum plays a part in this too.


Before it was more orientated on reviewing the room, however I think making it a "Room of the week" could offer far more publicity and make it more of a special thing for both the site and forum. Would increase links with Habbo, and could be great. Might be offer to whip up some kind of prize too!


So yeah, thanks for brining this back up, as since it was on Hxl I just gave up with this, but I do agree it's something as a department we could look into giving another go, but this time with more focus on promotion, links with the forum and Habbo alike.

What do you expect? It's HxL
I don't know whether it's just me, but I've always thought HxL are really distant from the rest of us - over there on their own site in their own little world with their own stuff to do (now stealing News' idea and giving up on it! ) I don't know if there is a bond between the management but I've never really seen any in the public eye; nonetheless, hopefully it will improve once HabboxLive.com simply becomes Habbox.com

But yeah, I'd like to see the room reviews come back. I think I actually read one or two of them

We started doing it with news and we waited ages for things to be done with it, so we done it ourself. It was a listeners room that got made "Room of the week" a review was posted on it, it was added to the main site and the DJs advertised and used the room sometimes for a party room.

HabboxLive have it's own listeners obviously they need their own stuff on the site to keep them happy as well, since really there wouldn't be somewhere to put it on habbox.
