Dave here. As always with new changes to the site, we were prepared for some negative feedback. We've actually put a lot of thought into these new features based how users use the site and input we've gotten from Fanpoppers. We saw that people started using the props wall as a wall and started giving props out just to comment. That wasn't the purpose for the props. We also saw that a lot of users had been misusing Answers to leave random comments and create discussion rather than properly asking a question. We felt that we needed a better way for fans to express how they felt and have a big ole' conversation easily. This way after an episode or some big news event, people can just quickly and easily post their reactions in a stream of community consciousness and it doesn't get lost in the forums or answers. We're trying to keep Fanpop lively with discussion and allow users to express their passion and thoughts easily with other fans. We're not trying to be any other site, because we know our community is unique and our site is one of a kind. The features that we choose empowers fans to celebrate the things they love. We think the walls are a great and easy way to do that.

Exactly. I loved Fanpop because it was Fanpop, not Facebook or YouTube or some other crappy, overrated site.

Why don't you like the change?

When I joined Fanpop there was no answers section,no Chat,no comment smiles,and there was no more than 15000 people.


But times changed and Fanpop was Changed one Improvement at time,and I didn't mind how it changed to a huge site,after it we were like one big happy family.


It's called Evolution ,people,Get over it.

Actually, it might not be that bad. At first glance, it seemed aweful, but maybe it's the type of thing that just takes a bit to get used to, then you love it.

Ikr. I left for like a couple hours, and then I sign on to see all this new wall feature. At first I thought I signed onto Facebook by accident, but then I checked the url...sure enough it's fanpop :S

I'm confused a bit, but it's not the end of the world to me. I'm unsure about it...

I just got online a few minutes ago and then I tough I was on Facebook or something. I mean like this "wall" thing. WTH? It's more hard to give props now! I'm totally confused. Now Fanpop is like Twitter or Facebook! I think this new change of course it will be hard for all users. But I may get used to it. I'm still loving Fanpop like always. ♥
