Fanpop Pinball

OK, everybody, let's all just take some deep breaths. I've been looking at Комментарии within the last half час about the new Fanpop layout that has thrown all of us for a loop.

There was a similar outcry of disbelief over, what I am choosing to call, the link. I am here Письмо this to gather everyone's collective panic and misgivings into one place, as well as to try and look at the positives of these Последнее changes, in an attempt to placate some of your fears.

First of all, let's get the obvious out of the way. AH! OMIGAWD! Fanpop LOOKS WEIRD AND IS ALL DIFFERENT! It's like Facebook and YouTube...

Ah props. They used to be a way to acknowledge on a peer to peer level that someone has Опубликовано something good. Back in my день we used to give Благодарности if someone Опубликовано a good video, или сказал(-а) something intelligent but now they're thrown out like...condoms in high schools? *shrugs*

What are props?
Props are small Медали that Ты can give to other users if Ты see them post something good.
eg; User_X posts a good video, User_Y gives User_X a video prop!

How can I give someone a prop?
You can give users Благодарности by going to their Профиль and clicking on the "Give Props" button, then type them a short message...

Hi everyone,

I’m Письмо this Статья because I believe the new Стена system has real potential of improving the way people use the props. I realize that not all fanpoppers will follow my advize, but I still feel the urge to write this.

I’ve been on Fanpop for quite some time now, and I’ve received and дана quite a few props. However, only a small amound of the Благодарности I received were ‘real props’. To clarify: by ‘real props’ I mean Благодарности received for actual content I’ve submitted. All the other Благодарности were ‘thanks for being a Фан – props’ или ‘happy whatever день Ты came...

Reason For This Article

Recently i finally found how to screencap a page on the internet. I had been looking for ages and finally i found out how to.Naturally i was very pleased and was waiting for a chance to use it.
Days went by,days turned into weeks and after a месяц and a half i found nothing. For the times i had been on Fanpop i had read the funniest, silliest things in spots and now that i could finally share them ,everyone became sensible?
After my long wait i got a message, but it wasn't what i was hoping for. I was expecting...

This is a little game I made up just because I was bored. I enjoy it, so I figured I’d share it.
Just a warning: This game is only fun if there’s a spot you’ve added a lot of Обои to, but enough have been added by other people to make it challenging.

So, the object of the game is to... get lots of points? And to encourage proper image etiquette.

Be sure to keep something handy to keep track of your points! (Paper and pencil, blank word document, calculator, etc.)


Step 1: Maneuver over to your Избранное spot (or preferably, the spot you’ve contributed the most Обои to)

Step 2: Look at...

The Fanwhore: Have Ты ever been added by someone, and then when Ты went to their Профиль to possibly add them back, saw only posts with things like "Thanks for the add!" as far as the eye could see? Congrats, you've just met a Fanwhore. This person is pretty much just obsessed with getting fans. They can spend hours adding people, and will usually add back anyone who adds them. They tend to have obscenely large numbers of fans, and to get them obscenely fast. Can go ballistic if they haven't gained at least five new Фаны in the last hour.
Also, some Fanwhores tend to reform after a while,...

*Shyly posts* Yea..I made one too. c:

How long have Ты been on Fanpop?
I've been on here since 2011, on a different account of course. I left because there was way to much going on with that one. I re visit sometimes.
I'm thinking about leaving tho.

Which club are Ты most active on?
Anime, there would be еще but they're dead. I really wish most of the клубы will get back active again. One день huh?

Which Club is your favorite?
Anime, because I really Любовь anime.

Which section is your favorite?
The Форум section, that's usually where I am.

Are Ты "known" for anything on Fanpop?
Mhm well, I use...

Nobody likes it when others ruin their fun by telling them the end of the story. Some people just aren't as caught up with others because they're busy или haven't gotten around to it. Whether it's your Избранное TV Показать and you're a few episodes behind или a book that Ты haven't read yet, the last thing Ты want is for someone to tell Ты what happens. Spoilers can ruin the fun for everyone else and the last thing we want to do is take the fun out of your Избранное stuff.

A lot of users were unhappy when Фаны were making picks that were spoilers during the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly...

Alright, so this is sort of in conjunction with a lot of other soapbox articles, namely Temptasia's two Статьи on link and link. It is also a sister Статья to thecon's link. Additionally, it's minutely related (like a very distant cousin) to megloveskyle's Статья on link. But I really wanted to stress the importance of constructive criticism here. So at the risk of sounding (exceptionally) redundant, I wish to discuss the importance of expressing yourself, taking responsibility for your actions, and not rating and running. Forgive me if this is all too familiar (thecon's Статья summed...

Part one can he found link
Lately I have noticed a swell in the amount of inappropriate comments. Комментарии that have sexual innuendo, are hurtful, или are just plain gross, and most of the time they have nothing to do with the topic at hand. What I fail to grasp is why people feel like they need to do this. I can't understand why they can't control themselves and write something appropriate или nothing at all. Is it a lack of sense of humor? Do they not realize that people spend a lot of time contributing to this site and a Комментарий like that can make all their efforts feel wasted? или do they not...
