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?

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
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.

1.)Thou...

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...

The little website that can and still is.
The little website that can and still is.
With Fanpop at it's definite high with the (VERY) recent creation of it's own Wikipedia article and it's change from beta to complete, I have decided that it is time to write about my own opinion of the site. Please read through and I hope you will all appreciate my review.

I'm not going to say that there's only one word to describe Fanpop. Because it's a website that dedicates itself to all types of things and people that can differentiate in many ways. And that's part of the greatness of it all. No matter who you are and what you love, it's impossible to not be able to talk about things...

I've decided to join the crowd and do a review of the newly un-betad fanpop. I first joined fanpop while searching for free episodes of House M.D. I noticed a pick and wanted to put in my two cents. Hence, my life was changed.

It took me a while to get really active. But soon enough I was recognizing usernames and posting content.

This site is great because it is so simple yet so complex. You like something? Become a fan of the spot. Spot not there? Make one!

Another awesome thing is that fanpop really breaks away from the MyFace universe. You can get personal with other fans, but it's much easier...

Just a few helpful guidelines for new & old users that will help keep Fanpop fantastic:

1. Upload a profile image. Find an image of you or of something that represents you and upload it as your user icon. This should be especially easy now that there are perfectly-sized icons (100x100) in almost every spot there for you to use. Otherwise you are just another green face in the crowd!

2. Rate videos and links. It's quick & easy, those who add videos and links will appreciate your honest opinions/ratings, and it is yet another way for you to leave your mark on Fanpop!

3. Proofread picks....

This is not a well planned, elaborate article on accepting change and what we can do to make it better. This is a series of thoughts, questions and sarcastic comments taken mostly from messages between link and link about why we are not fans of the Facepop Makeover of July 2010. If you would like to read an article about accepting the change, exploring some of the finer parts of the makeover and moving on, please read link article by Fanpop's amazing link. Actually, you should probably read that anyway if you’re at all concerned about the makeover.
