I was thinking about the answers feature, how it's so much more used than the forums. The point of the answers was to ask for help on something to do with what you're a fan of, but it's also being used to discuss things like "What's the best Simpsons Character" or "Disney should make 2D cartoons again", something like that. That's what the forums are made for, but most of these kind of questions are used in the "answer" section anyway. The real forums are hardly used now. Nearly everywhere I look, the last reply to a forum was 1 year ago.

Althought I can understand why these questions are in the answers section. The questions are easier to notice and you can vote for what the best answer is.

So I was thinking, why not just make the answers the new forums? Get rid of the old forum. That way, you can post whatever you want, there's 1 less section to worry about where to ask, the questions are more likely to be answered and there's no/less rule breaking.

What do you think?

Hey guys i couldn't really find a link or anything about the fanpop chat, so this is basically my guide about the functions, a bit about etiquette and a few tips thrown in here and there. I have also researched a list of all the meebo emotions and all the different keyboard shortcuts for the users that where asking, hopefully some of you will find it useful. You don't need to check everything out, although it appears lengthier than it is, everything is, as always set in to subheadings for those of you who like to scan articles :D, enjoy.

The rooms are ran by a company called meebo and...

This part of my user's guide covers the reporting mechanism and how to use it to maintain good content on the site. It was last updated on 25 December 2009.

As you continue to use Fanpop, you will come across content that is not what it should be in some way. Since Fanpop is largely only as good as the content it contains, it is important to address these issues for the good of the site and the Fanpop community.

Now, most of the content that "is not what it should be" is likely just content that you don't like, and such content should be rated appropriately (see the link). But, rarely, there...

Have you ever did something silly or foolish, and a few second later, you're laughing hysterically at yourself?

Well....I have....quite recently....today in fact.

It started when I created my new Proboards site, link a few days ago. I was so excited, because I just helped my friend with hers and she has over 30 or more members on it, so I was hoping I would get the same feedback.

Day one-1 Member...a friend of mine.

Day two-no members.

Day three-14 guests, no members.

Day four-still no members.

Today was day five, and I got one member...who told me he was confused and said I need to remodel it. What...

Do you ever find when you make a spot it is always you adding all the time with the odd add from another user? That even when you get over 100 fans to the spot its can still be just you adding all the time. Till one day you can't add any more or you don't want to. I have found this a problem with a few of my spots where it is just me adding page after page of videos and links.

So basicly this is just me asking every fan please just go to a spot that hasnt been updated in a while and just add one thing to it please !!! (and i know this sounds like a charity advert lol)
I am here to talk about the "report" button. It seems not many of us know of this button when it comes to videos, links etc and would rather just say "it doesn't work *cry*", so here is a step by step of what to do.

1. If the video you are trying to watch is not working and does not say "video broken or no longer here" click on the title. This will bring you to the page where the video first came from.

2. If the video definately does not work click the little flag.

3. Once you've clicked it there will be an assortment of options to choose from. Choose wisely though and appropriately....

I want to start by saying that I think it is absolutely brilliant. I visit several times a day and there is always something new to see. In my eyes that is the beauty of it right?

I love that although its is a somewhat controlled environment (which is a good thing) we are pretty much able to voice our opinion on what we like and what we don't like.

I joined fanpop because I love to share videos, photos, articles and pretty much anything else that has to do with a common interest. I will confess that I am a major fan of the office. I love to share any bit of office news with people who will appreciate...

We are the fanpoppers,
we love to veiw and vote.
We worship everybody,
even the bloody pope.

So we stand without a movement,
To worship everyone.
Especially our leader,
Who is number 1.

His name is Knifewrench or Chel,
i'm not really sure.
But i'd say that it's Knifey,
Because he is so pure.

I love this website,
Better than the rest.
But if someone says different,
Punch him in the chest.

If you're not in this song,
Then ha ha to you.
But that is not a bad thing,
It means i don't know you.

This is not the best song,
But it will have to do.
If you know another,
Please tell me do.

Okay this soapbox sadly, is going to point fingers so people can learn from this. I don't like having to point fingers but it seems no one gets the message across if it isn't done.

What is bulk posting? It's when you post multiple things all at the same time. So when you do that the keywords you give are going to be the same for every single thing you post.

Why do people bulk post? Well the excuse used can be "I want to share great content with others" but really it turns more into a quantity over quality.

Why is this harming keywords? When people bulk post they only put a general amount of keywords...

Hello Fanpoppers. By now you may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon. It's the Fanpop Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to music to hamsters.

Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the Fanpop team. In particular, a big prop to link who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.

I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank you to link - the site that provided the nifty default icon sets...
