Dear fellow-fanpoppers,

Recently Fanpop introduced a new feature to our profile pages:

The Showcase!

Eventhough it’s not a very complicated feature, there seem to be quite a few questions surrounding the caps. This gave me the idea of writing this article, answering the most aksed questions. Let me first say that everything I write is based on how I think this new feature works. I’m not one of the fabulous F4, so please correct me if I’m wrong about something.

1. What is the Showcase?
This question was answerd by F4 Dave: “The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting caps based on your participation and activity across the site.” In other words, the Showcase is the place on your profile page where all your caps are presented.

2. What are Caps?
Caps are rewards that can be earned in different ways (that I’ll explain later). Consider them prices for various things you do on Fanpop. They have no further purpose, it’s just fun to get them.

3. How do I get Caps?
That depends on the kind of cap. The system for getting them is automated (like the medals) so whenever you deserve to get one, you will. Some can be earned by doing specific things, others are given randomly.

4. What different kinds of Caps are there?
So far there are 5 different types of Caps. I’ll explain every type and how to get them here:

4a. Fanpop Firsts
There are 5 caps to earn in this category so far:
1. Fanpup: “Welcome to Fanpop! You’ve earned this adorable puppy for joining the Fanpop family. We’re glad to have you here!” This cap is earned when you join Fanpop, therefore every Fanpopper has this cap.
2. Picture Perfect: “Now don’t you look sharp in that profile picture you just uploaded? Or is that a picture of your dog? Either way, well done.” This cap is earned when you upload a profile picture.
3. Speak your mind: “You added a motto to your profile. Good for you for speaking up for yourself.” This cap can be earned by adding a motto to your profile page.
4. Wall: “Writing on someone's wall on Fanpop is not really vandalism, we approve of your graffiti here.” This cap can be earned by writing something on somebody’s wall.
5. Facebook: “ Thanks for Facebook Connecting us! You really "like" us! Don't worry, we won't spam your News Feed.” This cap can be earned when you connect your Fanpop account to your Facebook account, and like the Fanpop page on Facebook.

( Please notice that I'm in a rush, please excuse any mistakes. )
I had actually planned on making an article about Fanpop a few months ago and never had time and I still don't.
So instead of me just going into it full force detail like I planned I'm just gonna skim through it.
I'm writing this because I've been on Fanpop since 2011 and it has been amazing, but in the past year or so Fanpop has turned into a ghost town. It's so bad even some of the biggest clubs aren't really active anymore.
It really makes me upset because I can't even go to most of the clubs that I use to visit because...

Everybody knows that there are famous persons. celebrities which are know worl wide, that appear in TV, in magazines... One of the many places where you can find those celebrities, is Fanpop! There are many spots, dedicated to those persons! There for, the users that join those spot are, obviously, fans of those celebrities! But... it seems that that "rule" is no longer respected!

As most of you know, there is a special holding pen for newly-created spots -- the link arena. Spots remain there until:
a) they have a significant amount of links, videos & images
b) there are enough fans to deem it popular ... or at least raise its status out of the 'geek stuck in the trash can' level.

Often I roam around, looking at these new creations, trying to help out those poor spots that have no videos, links, picks, or images to their name. But there are still spots there that were born over a year ago with little to no links to make it interesting enough to join.

So I would like...
