you're not gonna get an audience if there is nothing habbox client related..which at the moment there isn't

i think i went to like 5 events last week and managed to play one because no one showed up so we couldn't start the others

guess thats what happens when you have peeople in charge who barely play the game they are running a fansite for!
(not talking about mike or matt) but still, more could be done... i know over at hffm one admin has a maze, one is building an auto game for them and there are others doing other things lol.....over at habbox..nothing. they rely on their users to do everything for them, and you can barely get a thanks lol

I agree, more could be done and I do think it is making more of a push on Habbo that we'll reap the benefits so I'm concentrating my efforts on that. I'm currently making a habbox lottery room with a small 1c grabber that I hope to make a system so that management can also use it along with a unique service (that I won't go into detail right now cos I haven't worked them all out yet) that will hopefully put Habbox back on the map in the same way hx rare values used to have a monopoly on Habbo (and provided free publicity).

Maybe Habbox needs to start to become more like other fansites? Or stel a few ideas... otherwise we can stay like this! I like this community anyways (some of it)! And us younger members are silly billys, you have to forgive us?

[Matthew]

Yeah he does, but he isn't really active is what i'm talking about, and again he is just an normal user who put habbox on their room name. Not someone who actually has a role at habbox lol

yeah I see what you mean.

I remember Nixt used to have a habbox casino and it was insanely popular if I remember.. I'm not saying it'll be the same now but surely we need to give habbox rooms on habbo another good go?

Habbox - Come Give Us Your Coins

That should be the motto since there are lots of things you offer that cost users coins and have very slim chances of winning them back, just so you can fund departments...... lol

You should offer free tickets for "x" amount of posts w.e

GRAHAM STOP STEALING MINE AND PHILS IDEAS LMAO

ot: there's not enough on client to bring in new members, which really needs to be used. like graham said, popular games need to be created in a hope to gain more users, or a chat room which advertises habbox, something like a club idk.

habbox should make something like death run, and i don't mean someone do it for xxmattgxx or something, i mean ideally management should have a room. death runs could be/ are better than stuff like runs with many rooms, as there's just one room and people will stay in that one, putting habbox's name on the room thing. we also need better events rooms and LETS ALL BE NICE

[FlyingJesus]

I don't think it's even just a case of not enough representatives on the client - it's more that those who do go on aren't approachable and are almost universally more interested in having a chat with their event bffs than actually promoting the site at all. It wasn't even all that long ago that it was suggested that event hosts and such should be actively attempting to get people to sign up rather than just run an event and try making the room popular, but I've been pretty active recently (cool kid I know) and haven't seen this from anyone at all.

Habbox has been dying for years in all seriousness.

Our events are not helped when other fansites can make awesome event rooms as they buy thrones on the black market, then Habbox fires any of its staff who do this. Not saying the other fansites are right to do so, but you will never beat them if the playing field is not level.

Sadly, the only way you will get new users is through popular events on habbo - and if the other fansites events are more popular, you will never get as many new users as said other fansites.

I have been to like one event in 6 months, and the one I went to the event organiser was just licking some other people in the "staff" bit - whilst they returned the favour. So in that respect, I totally agree about the chatting with their event bffs bit.

Agreed. It's not about who's on the boards, it's about the bad decisions their making. The management should be more active and more enthusiastic. If they're not Habbox is going to disappear like all the other old fansites that are simply closing their doors right now

Unfortunately it seems that habbox is stuck in the pre-merge era and refuses to move along with the fast-paced changes habbo and other fansites have gone through to better cater to users' wants and needs. Rare values is the only real gem from the past that is even mildly worth holding onto, other features need constant revision.

Yes, there are rooms sponsored by habbox, but we have nothing 'HABBOX OFFICIAL' -- nothing concrete that can be relied upon to continue to draw members in, just a few rooms with habbox in the tags and sometimes a short wired shoutout to habbox.com that (if the room is popular enough, which it would need to be to fit the purpose) is buried by chat in seconds.

Habboxlive and the events team need to focus on bringing weekly shows/events back to the table. Give users something to look forward to. Not that great maze thing though, that was a travesty - more along the lines of The Vault, that was pretty cool.

The habbox lottery is all well and good guys but come on now, everybody knows that it's really just a money making venture... and a coin grabber putting habbox back on the map? This is not 2007, coin grabbers aren't exactly mind blowing, people get bored of them after a short while and stop going. IIRC Mathew even owned a coin grabber which was never really overflowing with guests. Hopefully the undisclosed idea is at least a little more innovative.

It seems to me that the current management team are drifting away from habbo and into the adult world, some having to delegate some tasks, even to non-staff members. @sex; didn't even get a thankyou for his part in the fansite frenzy until he pointed it out! Habbox are lucky to have such loyal members.

ALSO if habbox is so skint that you can't fund big beautiful events then perhaps it's time to consider the black market. Buying isn't against the habbo way, just selling! and Chris, I know you're just the forum manager, but it'd be nice to see you interacting with your community on the client a little more. That goes for Myke too (the one that doesn't do anything, not community mike).
