How much is too much? When it comes to Fanpop, it's hard to tell. So check out this handy guide! Feel free to add on any you think of too.

You know you spend too much time on Fanpop when......

1. Your hands are permanently bent into the shape of your computer mouse.

2. You see something cool that you'd like to share and try to take a screencap of it from your eyes.

3. You spend more time with your online friends than your real friends.

4. You start thinking up potential usernames for everyone you meet.

5. Who cares about celebrities? The days of wanting to meet your favorite movie star are over! Now all you do is daydream about meeting the F4.

6. Fanpop NEEDS it's own reality show. Why the heck doesn't it have one yet?!?! I'm so writing another complaint letter to every TV studio I've ever heard of!

7. Whenever you're writing, you keep writing in HTML tags to try and bolden, underline, or italicize your writing.

8. Your last nightmare was about your Fanpop account getting banned.

9. You can't consider yourself officially a fan of something until you've gotten a Medal for that spot on Fanpop.

10. You go on a hunger strike when your parents take away your internet privileges.

11. You forget to eat because you're too busy hanging out on Fanpop.

12. If your power goes out, and you can't use the computer, you can't stop coming up with conspiracy theories as to how the power repairmen are really evilly plotting to shut down Fanpop for good and ruin your life!

13. Whenever you go to friends houses, they always lock up their computer before you arrive.

14. No one can get you off the computer unless their either physically pull the plug, or they have a major death wish.

15. Whenever you get or find something you like, you keep looking for "fan of it" or "Save to favorites" buttons.

16. You barely ever go on any other websites. Come to think of it.........what other websites even exist outside of Fanpop??

Your Score-Count how many of the above apply to you:

1-3: Yeah, you spend time on here. So?
4-8: You REALLY like Fanpop. You spend quite a bit of time on here.
9-11: You have a bit of an obsession. You spend A LOT of time on here.
12-15: You've got OFS-Obsessive Fanpop Syndrome. You probably never leave your computer. As much as I love Fanpop, I would recommend getting help.

Do you spend too much time on Fanpop? I know I do!

Many of you may know me from doing Fan Of The Fortnight picks in the Fanpop Users spot (if not see the link but you may not know that two annual events are on the horizon.

For the month of December, we bump it up a bit and all of the people featured on a Fan Of The Fortnight go on one of two very large picks, which I'm always appreciative of link help with, especially the latter of these two always large numbered Picks.

Fan Of The Year

Anyone that's ever won a Fan Of The Fortnight contest within the current year is added to this Pick as a fun way of determining that year's best fan.

If you've won...

Warning: this is gonna be a huge trip to memory-land, but PLEASE read it until the end. Maybe you might feel the same.

Two years ago, when I first joined fanpop, things were a lot different here. I was 15 years old and I only watched one TV show: Heroes. I was insanely addicted to that show (I still am, it’s my second favorite show ever) and I was searching for some episodes online on some random site. That site (I have no idea which one is now, Lol) had a lot of links to episodes, and some of those links bought me to fanpop.

The first think I noticed about this site was those funny...

Okay, so I usually leave these etiquette articles to people that can explain things better than me (which is everyone), but this has been driving me crazy. Therefore, I'm sorry if this is totally confusing and/or terrible.

This article is going to focus on keywords in images, since that's where I see most problems. However, a few things mentioned in here also apply to other content.

Here is my opinion on how you should keyword images:

- To start off, you need keywords! I'm sure almost everyone knows that, but there are always images without any keywords popping up. Most people that do it probably...

2009 FANPOPPY AWARDS NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
Okay, I'm writing this is an attempt to get attention! Attention for the 2009 Fanpoppy Awards.
The annual Fanpoppy Awards nominations were opened by hooch-is-crazy almost 3 days ago but it is my belief that not all Fanpoppers are aware of this event. The initial slow response to the nominations forum as well as the fact that some users have emailed me asking what the Fanpoppys are, confirms this.
The best way for me to describe the Fanpoppy Awards is to compare it to the Academy Awards, lol. The Oscars are held to honour the best contributors to the...
