How long have you been on Fanpop?

Not that long. This June will be my 2nd year anniversary. I found this site when I was looking for an online anime community, since I thought that anime wasn't popular in the Netherlands. So, I wanted to join an online community to get in contact with other anime fans. I know now that there are a lot of other Dutch anime fans though. (;

Which club are you most active on?

I used to be very active in the anime club and the random club during my gap year. Those clubs are still the ones I visit the most, but I don't post as much as I did before.

Which Club is your favorite?

I like the anime club and the random club both very much, but if I had to choose, I would go with the anime club. I love anime and almost everything that has to do anything with Japan. I'm even studying Japanese at an university at the moment. (;

Which section is your favorite?

I can't choose. xD I love answering polls, reading the opinions of other users etc. I just love all sections equally. ;p

Are you "known" for anything on Fanpop?

I don't think so. I'm not that well-known. ;p

Have you made any friends on Fanpop?

I was very shy when I just made an account, so I didn't have any friends on here then. I didn't even dare to add people, since I thought they would get mad at me. xD But I made great friends on here later. One of them left, unfortunately, but I'm still very close to my other friends. Saiyajin1 is my best friend on here, but I love NeoNightclaw19, Ravissa and Monsterka very much too. They are all very important to me. (:


What have you learned from your experience on Fanpop?

That not all guys are douchebags. I'm very sorry, but before I made an account on here, I seriously thought that all guys were douchebags due to experiences with guys I had in the past. But after talking to some guys on this site, that gradually changed, so I don't think that way anymore. I'm glad for that. (:
I also learned how warm and loving an online community can be. The people on this site feel like a second family to me. (:

What is the best article you've read on Fanpop?

I read lots of good articles on here, but I have to say that I really like the articles of zanhar1. I think her articles are very interesting to read and I think she always explains why she thinks a certain way with good arguments.


Any suggestions you would give to Fanpop?

Well, I read that lots of people on here miss the chatbar, so I guess bringing back the chatbar. I wasn't on here when it was still there though, so I don't really feel the difference. ;p

Thanks for reading! (:

Plugging away at our laptops
It was just about one year ago that link and I were having our regular lunch meetups downtown in the Financial District of San Francisco. Years ago we shared a cube in Santa Clara at Yahoo! where we first met. Now we were being reunited just a few blocks away from one another and having lunch like old times. We decided to pay a visit to our favorite hole in the wall, the International Food Court on the corner of Bush and Kearny Streets. Most people would never have spotted this joint and even if they had they would pick up their pace and keep on walking. Being the adventurous (and cheap) guys...

Of all of my peeves, this definitely bugs me the most. It's like if you're gonna pick a fight then at least have the decency to keep your original post. Don't call someone names, wait for them to fight back, and then edit your comment to subtract the insults so you can look like you didn't do anything wrong. It's just the most cowardly and kind of annoying thing to do. At least when I throw an insult I have the balls to leave it up and the respect to acknowledge that it may have not been the nicest thing to say and be up front about my snarkiness. People like that are why I have to screencap...

Ok so I'm sooo sorry If I waited to long to do the story I SWEAR! that i'm going to do it tomorrow i'm so sorry. I have to many problems and i'm very emotional the last couple of days and it's a big problem with my family and i'm very sad but i really will start the story I swear! I cant really tell u about my family issues but I need someone to talk to. But on the other hand if you can be my co-writer i would LOVE that but you have to be good like not basic, you know how when people push the story too fast...

Example for some of you dumbass trifflin ass cunt ass bitches: Yolanda dated this boy named Prince then he bullied her then he liked her afterwards the got married had a baby named Rolanda and Prince got hit by a car trying to see an old friend a cross the street 2 years later Yolanda sold Rolanda n got on crack,died, and lived happily ever after with Prince in heaven.
[note: when I first made this article "clubs" were called "spots" so just imagine anything that says "spot" actually says "club" ;)]

Well it seems like people are always asking how so here is a step by step guide on how to with images, yay! (there is a little thing in the FAQ but people seem to relate to images better)

Step 1: Make sure you are on the Fanpop main page

Step 2: Search for the spot first so there are no duplicates (if not then go back to the main page)

Step 3: Scroll down till you see this image and click "create new spot"

Step 4: Type in the name of the spot...

ATTENTION: This is just a user opinion's on what could be cool for Fanpop.

1. Customize Profile: Everyone likes to have a nice profile homepage, so my first idea is we have a chance of customize our own profile, with backgrounds, colors, fonts etc...

2. Medal Meter: I think every Fanpopers like to know how much are they far to get a medal on the spot, so my 2nd idea is FP give us the chance to see if we are far or close to get our medal.

3. Profile Viewers: How many and what users did check our profile.

4. Comment Reply Notice: Be notice in you updates when someone reply you in a comment.

5. Possibility to Change User name: Sometimes people don't like their user names...a opportunity to change would be nice ;)

Hope You Enjoy It

No more nudity and disgusting images!!
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
