Эй, guys i couldn't really find a link или anything about the Fanpop chat, so this is basically my guide about the functions, a bit about etiquette and a few tips thrown in here and there. I have also researched a Список of all the meebo emotions and all the different keyboard shortcuts for the users that where asking, hopefully some of Ты will find it useful. Ты don't need to check everything out, although it appears lengthier than it is, everything is, as always set in to subheadings for those of Ты who like to scan Статьи :D, enjoy.

The rooms

The rooms are ran by a company called meebo and we now have quite a few of them. There is of course the main Fanpop room which can be accessed from the homepage on the right just above the Тесты или from this link
link

They're are a few other rooms and i believe there have been requests for more, these rooms below can all be accessed by the Ссылки below или from the spot Главная page, again on the right above the Тест Вопросы and forums. If Ты open a chat from a Главная page rather than the link, it will open in it's own seperate box instead of tab или new window. The other rooms are;

The Functions

The chat is nice and simple and fairly easy to use , so this may seem slightly patronising to some people but i have been asked a couple of things before and in doing research i have also found a couple of things out myself, so i thought i would write all of the functions and my findings down.

The Colors-The user names in the chat are several different colors, there seems to be no meaning to this and are completley random. Ты can change your color if Ты really wish to do so by signing in and out. Ты can sign in and out by either simply refreshing the page или by clicking the small green button in the вверх right corner.

Warns-You can warn someone by hovering over their username. Warns are designed to literally warn a user when they are behaving badly e.g. spamming, abusive language. Fanpop was told that if a user was warned over a certain amount of times they would be "muted" aka they would not be allowed to type anymore in the chat. There are a couple of users though who have been warned so many times, one user over 50 times! so if Ты get warned for nothing (yes there are some out there immature enough to do that for fun) don't worry about it. If Ты do get warned though it's always worth Чтение your last couple of messages to see if Ты could have been doing something to annoy или upset a fellow user. Warns are completely anonymous, even if Ты use the warn button in a private message it will appear in the main chat not the PM.

PMs-Again to personally message someone Ты can hover over their username. Only the two of Ты can see that conversation and Ты can not invite other users. Ты can warn and block someone directly from the PM box. As сказал(-а) above any warns done via the PM box will appear in the main chat. If Ты block someone and then send them a private message it automatically unblocks them. Anything written in private message will not be censored.

Blocking-Again to block someone Ты hover over their profile. When Ты block someone Ты can no longer see anything they write in chat neither will Ты see anything they message to you, if Ты unblock them the messages will NOT reappear. Ты can unblock them the exact same way, messaging someone will also unblock them. When Ты have been blocked your self Ты will not know, it will be completley unknown to other users also. A user will stay blocked even if Ты sign off and then back on again.

Censoring-Meebo chat rooms have fairly strict censors and a lot of stuff can set them off, just for reference here's a couple of words Ты might not expect to be censored

-Homo("Homosexual" will appear as "****sexual")

-queer

-penis and vagina

-niga (so if Ты write "alyson hanigan" it appears as "alyson ha****n")

-porn

-sh it (yes even if Ты make a Космос in the middle it will звезда it out e.g. "finish it" will appear as "fini****")

and oh yes "dick фургон, ван dyke" will appear as "**** фургон, ван ****"

These are just stupid stuff but obviously Ты can get around these by typing with spaces inbetween letters e.g. say Ты wished to talk about "q u e e r as folk" Ты would have to talk like that so people can see what Ты talking about.

When Ты type a message Ты will be able to see what Ты have written but others it will appear starred, except for in private messages where everything is uncensored.

A Couple of Little Extras

The chat does have sound, the on/off button can be seen in the bottom left. When someone types on the main chat it will make a small click, when someone PMs Ты it will make a bleep noise. I find this useful if Ты enter the chat and are the only user in the chat, Ты can then turn the sound so when someone else comes in Ты will hear them and not miss them. It is also useful if your PMing еще than one user.

Ты can access a fanpopper's Профиль again by hovering over their name

When Ты first enter the chat Ты can read about half a page of conversation to catch up with what has been said

There is a small smiley face to the right of your message box, this allows Ты to add certain smilies to your message. For a full Список see below.

My Opinion on Etiquette

These are just a couple of etiquette suggestions, from my own opinion and from what i have gathered from others, they are in no way rules just something to consider.

Spamming-Spam can be anything from repeating the same comment, sending the same link over and over или simply just Письмо gibberish. It is annoying and unnecessary just like any kind of spam and may be a reason for warnings или being blocked. If someone excessively does this after being warned and informed i suggest Ты Сообщить them via their profile.

Chat speak-Although i understand fully this is a chat room, Fanpop still has many users who's first language is not english and it will be hard enough for some of them to follow the speed of the chatroom without the difficulties of chat speak as well so please try and avoid it. Though I'm sure everyone understands that typing quickly often leads to mistakes....I, myself will probably make loads in this proof read article...my apologies for any :S

Specific Rooms-There have been specific chat rooms created so people can talk about specific topics with out annoying other chatters, these are mentioned above. If there is not a specific chat room for your interest and there is only one person in the room Ты wish to talk about this topic to, Ты can always send them a private message. If the room is pretty much трещина, сплит then i suggest asking the F4 for another specific chat room and in the mean while trying to find a empty chat room. There is normally one somewhere and i see no harm in using it untill еще Фаны enter.

Warns-Warning someone for no reason is not clever and as i stated above seems to result in nothing. Do not do this it's annoying to other chatters and it's frankly completely pointless. Warnings are reserved to Показать people they are not behaving properly in the chat. If Ты really have a problem with someone about something like spamming the chat, i suggest Ты block them and Сообщить them on their Профиль and add some notes so the Fanpop team know why.

emotions/emotes/smilies-Emotes или emotions или smilies, what ever Ты want to call them can be fun and a good way to communicate something quickly или most importantly to express Ты tone, something not done easily through chat. However although i realise finding new emotes is exciting for some of you, it does become very spam like and annoying if Ты test them all out repeatably.

Full Список of emotions/emotes/smilies

Below is a full Список of meebo smilies and all the shortcuts to them. I would have Опубликовано this as a link but i couldn't find a full Список where all of them worked correctly, so by combining different lists and sources and testing shortcuts by messaging myself (oh yes I'm crazy) I have managed to put this together.
Oh I also couldn't find Обои for them all so some are my makeshift paint stuff so my apologies for the weird looking ones, they do look better on chat, I assure you.


The Emotes Box
These are the emotes that Ты can find in the box to the right of the message box, as mentioned above. Although i realize Ты can already use all of these I thought it would be useful to add the other shortcuts for them as some are easier to type than или others или than clicking on the box.

I would just like to say special thanks to gerley123, DarkSarcasm, pollyloveshouse and spotty_vision21 for helping me test a couple of things in the chat room.

Also thanks to meebo, wikipedia and computer-erase for some of the information in this Статья as well as a quick mention to David Vignoni who designed and created all the emotions shown above.

If anyone knows of any other или new spot specific chat rooms, emotes или features или is just has a Вопрос или is still confused by something could Ты please Комментарий as i would like to keep this as updated and informative as possible, thankyou :D
