Why does it feel like Habbox is dying out?

[QUOTE=Kyle;8515009]stop pushing 'community' as being involved in the forum and build the community in the hotel first.

This is 100% correct, we have for so long (and I'm as guilty as anybody here) been concerned with grabbing a user's attention and straight away saying "hey sign up to the forum! see you there! ok bye" when what we really need is to make an actual connection with them on the client. So often when events finish the room empties and that's that, but it would be great if instead we were all like ok the event's done but let's party woopwoop and flip down a tele to hxhd or something, or even just change the room name and make it a dance-off or something, idk something entertaining that keeps people involved and wanting to come see us in the future. Again, the biggest problem is getting people to just care

Prizes for events are not in line with current economy

This is also correct, most sites give out a flat 2c per game and I do 5-10 generally

omg why did none of my staff help you

o/t I really doubt other fansites are going to help us stay afloat, surely they'll be waiting for the ship to sink and steal all our members for themselves?

all our members for themselves?

Not many to steal

[Sloths]

Not many to steal

Come on, apparently we have 660 active members. While it may not seem like it there's definitely a decent amount of us still hanging on!

Assuming settings are set to default, an active member is defined as someone that has logged in in the past 30 days lol. And trust me when I say this, that number doesn't measure true activity on the forum.

Habbo aren't going to do anything? We already do official events and are part of their official fansites, aren't they also like cutting back all their staff? lol

Other fansites look out for themselves, if one of our 'competitors' (idk who the other fansites are) came to us and said they're struggling we wouldn't actively help them lol, part of being a fansite is getting the users to join you and stick with you over other fansites.

So it's nothing about shame or embarrassment, it's simply that neither would be useful.

Active member is never going to measure activity on the forum as most people don't post and simply browse. We have what 80-100 users log in per day and only a fraction of them post.
