Hello Everyone!
All I see in the "Retro Habbo Chat" section, are people complaining about how it's changed so much. They are tired of "nooby" developers creating renames and crappy edits. I want to tell you how to fix this problem.
Step 1 - Stop complaining, and take action!
Step 2 - If you don't like it, don't accept it.
Step 3 - Report, Report, Report.
Step 4 - Teach & Learn.

If all you plan to do after this is continue to complain, you might as well just quit. You aren't helping the situation. Don't wait for others to step up to the plate, take action.

Step 1 - Stop complaining, and take action!
Complaining will get you nowhere. Nobody cares what you think in most cases. Do something about it instead of complaining. The old days are GONE, they are not coming back. By complaining about things not being the way they used to be, you are helping this section take steps backwards. The old days were not great obviously, remember we would not have landed here if it weren't for the "old days".
If you are a developer, TAKE ACTION. Stop complaining and start developing. You, as a developer, have the ultimate ability to glorify this section. You have the ability to move this section forward. Create your own development OR team up with other prominent devs and create something spectacular. Stop waiting for someone else to do something. Stop piggybacking on other people's work, and start making your own. Only you can prevent the downfall of this section. This section should not look forward to going back to the "Old Days", we should look forward to being better than the "Old Days".
If you are not a developer, but a frequent user, you have a responsibility to TAKE ACTION too. Don't accept garbage anymore. For too long, the users of this section have accepted utter GARBAGE. Some unknown crappy developer changes the name of an emulator or CMS, and you guys just say well I guess we will use this crappy one until someone releases something slightly less crappy. Just because it's something new, does not mean it is something good. If you look at other development sections on RaGEZONE, they do not accept garbage. Developers have to earn their keep, developers have to earn their respect. Here if someone releases a picture of a nice emulator, they get treated like a God (Exaggeration). The point is stop accepting garbage, if you are content with your current emulator or CMS, do not switch because another one is nicer. This also goes for the developers.
Step 2 - If you don't like it, don't accept it.
A forum is meant to be a place where it's users have a voice. If you are not happy with the way things are going, tell someone! Let's say you think a rule should be put in place, contact a moderator. Let's say you are not sure if you should post something, ask a moderator. Moderators and other staff are here to help you. We are not dictators, and we are not here to run the section, we are here to help and improve the section. Whatever it may be, contact us, we want to help.
Step 3 - Report, Report, Report.
If there is a problem with another user, report it. Don't start an all out battle with them and get everyone involved. You will only end up looking like an ***hole. It's okay to be a "tattle tale" here, and report the person. Otherwise, you expect the moderators to search for the problem, or we are forced to clean up the aftermath. Let us cut the snake off at it's head. If we can stop the problem before it escalates, we can save a lot of time. Otherwise, we are forced to scroll down the page and delete hundreds of posts. You have a voice, but you may not be moderators. So, don't take matters into your own hands.
Step 4 - Teach & Learn.
You may be an expert at one thing, but you don't know everything. Instead of trying to correct everyone else. Try learning something. Learn from other users and developers. That will ultimately help the section. Also, teach other people, don't flame them for being a "noob". You don't need a resume to join RaGEZONE's forums, so don't expect everyone to be a genius because you aren't one yourself. Instead of calling someone a noob, teach them. We need growth, and calling them a noob will get us nowhere. Think about it, what you teach someone today, they won't have to learn from someone else tomorrow. You may answer 10 people's question in one post, instead of calling them a noob, and we end up having 10 posts asking the same question.
