Fanpop Article: What happened to the Meebo bar

24

posted by rileyferguson

Today on June 6th, The Meebo bar was not working. Many fans could not log on and all of them thought that it was a glitch or a fail. But then, according to snakemanfan, Google shut down Meebo permanently to work on Google+. It is totally damn stupid. I know that many people use the meebo bar in order for chatting on Fanpop and other stuff, But this is just sad. Google want to dominate the whole internet. Just because Google+ is being updated just does not mean that you have to shut down the Meebo bar permanently. So today, We have to say our Final Words to the Meebo bar as it shuts down forever.

This will be a really sad thing for users who have used the Meebo Bar. I really do not know if they will replace it or bring it back, But for now, Meebo is gone, Forever. :( :( :(

-TheGreatWhite- [b]Would have atleast been nice if we would have gotten SOME warning![/b] - some alert among the many Fanpop Ads or SOMETHING?! Would have been NICE. Some of us were in the middle of things I am sure. Meebo was not just for live chat, it was for updates. I could do without all the sensitive ads and bttns. Fanpop Games was a trial run on the Meeb too. I rather liked live updates Meebo offered. Some notice though on stuff wud be good if possible!

xayeishax [i]Arrgghhhh this is not FAIR!!! I loved meebo, no really i did!! Why couldnt they give us a warning?!?! :'(([/i]

rileyferguson They sadly didn't. The whole thing can be seen on Meebo's website

swfew it was soo nice to use it............ without it fanpop is sooooo boring....

LOLerz25 Are they really still trying to make Google+ happen tho? smh

Dewsparkle NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

pumpkinqueen This sucks. T.T

rileyferguson Yup, Everybody knows it does <__>

Zelda20129 This is terrible and Google+ sucks....

Reema11 [i]How do you know about this ? well it has happened before also but it doesnt mean it's gonna stay forever..[/i]

rileyferguson @Zelda20129: I agree @Reema11: Some fanpopper told me that he was looking how to get Meebo up on the iPad when he came across it

navexelac Well dang.I leave here for about a year and this is what happens?I mean i was hoping to chat with all my friends and now I have to tell them to add my Skype if they which to chat more with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL1O6VI3aBY GroverKent is right...Google is like the Hitler of the internet. >.>

rileyferguson I agree with you. Fanpop really sucks now

zanesaaomgfan It's not just Fanpop either. On Wattpad, meebo chat was how I talked to my fans. Now, how can I talk to them and instantly respond? :/

rileyferguson I could also use Meebo on Wikia sites

Faithgurl Some people thought it was "annoying" apparently, but...I don't get it. How was it annoying?!

MidNightX_X I've been a fanpop user for over 3 years now and i admit Meebo had its glitches from time to time but this is just wrong... i have a lot of friends that i chat with on this site and its now really annoying to be constantly messaging them to be able to chat instead of just chatting. will they at least replace it? why didnt fanpop think ahead of this?

darange her this link shows you what happened to Meebo, its not Fanpop being mean i promise https://www.meebo.com/

Iam567 Noo..Fanpop sholud add another chat bar..instead of meebo

rileyferguson It is not confirmed if it is getting a new bar or not

hetaliaitaly It's not getting a new one

Stop the Nudity!

posted by megloveskyle

No more nudity and disgusting images!!

Please don't post nude or indecent pictures in any spot. There are children on this website. Please don't post anything you wouldn't want your own kids to look at. If an actress is being made fun in a picture please don't post that in their spot. And you should know better than to post naked pictures of them also. There is a place for those images and it's called PerezHilton.com. It's disrecpectful to post inhumane pictures of an actress/actor in their spot. This is fanpop not hatepop. Another issue that has been irking me is duplicate images. I know I have accidently posted duplicates before...

Thank You! Yes You!

posted by Temptasia

I feel like it is time that I tell you how much you all mean to me and how Fanpop has changed my life. About a year ago I became a stay-at-home mom. Which was really a blessing, however a huge stressor in my life was the fact that I had essentially no adult interaction during the day and no way of really feeling validated. I found Fanpop one day while browsing for Office episodes online. I saw the picks and it looked so fun, that I just had to join! Since then I have spent hours everyday on Fanpop. It is my outlet for all the stresses of being a young mother who is nearly solely responsible...

How to Get a New Club Look In 3 Easy Steps!

posted by DarkSarcasm

Okay, first off, that title is a lie.

Based on the way things are going with the new club update feature so far, I thought we could use some guidelines. These are not official, they are merely suggestions on how to decide on a new icon or banner as a team. Only large clubs have the new suggestion options, so there are thousands of people there whose opinions count! (Not that smaller spots aren't valuable, you guys rock just as hard.) The suggested steps for changing a club's look are the same up until Step 3 for both large clubs with the new poll feature, and smaller ones with user-run polls...

Finding Fanpop

posted by ToastedRabbits

The internet is losing the magical veil of interest it once held over you. You've been on all the really popular sites you already know about and have eventually grown board of them. Sure you type into your blog every now and then, but that's not enough to keep you online for more than ten minutes. After a while, you figure you might as well look for that episode of The Office you failed to record, and therefore missed last week.

You type the title of the episode into Google and browse through the first couple links that pop up. All of them are broken videos, or they have very poor quality...

Fixing Fanpop Picks: A Very Basic "How-To"

posted by cressida

This is merely an addition to Papa's fantastic soapbox article on link (a must-read) but some users have still been asking about editing a pick that they've made after they have published it. Here's a very basic how-to.

1. How the Pick's Creator can edit the pick:
If you want to add additonal choices to your options or images to them, all you need to do is look for and click on the pencil icon on the top of your pick. This will take you back to the pick creation page where you can freely add new options and image to your heart's desire.

2. How Voters can edit the pick:
If the creator allowed...

Presenting Fanpop's Newest, Awesomest Feature: IM!

posted by Cammie

*Fanpop's IM: bond with your fellow fanpoppin' friends!

G'day awesome Fanpoppers!
I think this piece is really too short to be considered a proper article but I just wanted to give a *high five* to the newly introduced feature, Fanpop's Instant Messaging.
I became aware of this new feature less than 24 hours ago, I'm sure by now most of you guys also have it.
At first, I thought this was just a way of letting users know which other users were online at the same time. But no,it is far more awesome.
It's instant messaging between you and your Fanpop friends.
I love this already so much. I think I've spoken to about 30 or so different users/friends in...

The Fanpoppers' 10 Commandments (aka How To Be A Better Fanpopper!)

posted by Cammie

Ways to help improve our fanpopping skills

Lately there's been a lot said and written in the way of articles,picks,etc about the so-called deterioration of the Fanpop site. This is not another heavy-handed article about user conduct or inappropriate behaviour. I do not happen to believe that flogging the same issues over and over again actually benefits the site or the fanpoppers. So all I've done is put together, in a light-hearted way, what I refer to as the '10 commandments' of Fanpop. Unlike the image, these commandments (tips) are not set in stone,lol, but I think they can be useful in helping one be a better Fanpopper.

Why The Black Background Is Better...

posted by want2watcheroes

50% of fanpoppers that took my pick 'Do you like the black background of fanpops homepage?' picked no.

I'm one of the fanpoppers that picked yes and i'll explain why.

The old background was okay, but its main colors were blue and green; two colors that don't go together. But the black background doesn't have any colors that do not match.

The black background is easier on the eye, more stylish and makes you feel more relaxed. The old background seems more tacky.

I'm sure that homepage will change back to its old blue and green theme as fanpoppers think the black background is 'against the spirit...

Yeah, you're like "OH MA GAWD FANPOP IS ON DA WIKI!!!!!! MUST EDIT!!!!"
Please. NO. Don't. First off, this exact same article has been deleted numerous times and this one may be short lived as well if you don't give NOTABLE info to it. Writing things like "LATINLOVER IS DA HOTTEST FANPOPPER" will not get us far. Here are some tips to keeping the article on Wikipedia for good this time:

-Make the article look authentic. Not being a Wikipedia wizz myself I had no idea how to add tables and the like to the article. If you're experienced at Wiki-ing it would be obliged very much if you give the...
