An Open Apology... and Some Gripes

posted by DrDevience

It has come to my attention that my gift for words has been failing me miserably these past few days. What I mean to impart is coming off as bitchiness rather than humerous or helpful.

For that, I want to apologize. Especially to Harold, who works hard for this site and didn't deserve to feel like he was under attack at all. I'm an idiot. I would offer to smooch and make up, but I'm too old to be getting beat up by anyone's wife...

Now, having said that, I am going to go over a few things that might be responsible for this mood lately. I simply feel like I am banging my head against the wall...

Fanpop- Home, Sweet Home!

posted by sunsweetheart39

When I first clicked onto Fanpop, I felt like something was a little different. It wasn't like MySpace or YouTube (not that I have anything against the people who use them), where I normally get the feeling that people I don't know are looking at my profile. I felt like I could message the users on here and not get a rude or creepy message back. I could comment, rate, and make picks without anyone (besides the occasional bad-mannered user) commenting on my own opinions. I could add things and feel really great when someone else gave me props or commented on how thankful they were for that item. And, I am so glad that fanpop has stayed this way! I feel so comfortable on here and only know 4 other fanpoppers in real life. I just wanted to compliment all of the wonderful users on how great they are on making this an awesome site to be on! You are all part of the reason I am now very addicted to Fanpop!

And that is????

posted by Temptasia

A generic link title is about as helpful as using this picture to guess what color this person's eyes are.

Have you ever gone to a spot and seen 3 links with the exact same title? Have you ever seen a video of an annual event and wondered if it was from this year or last years show? Gone through a whole video on a spot and wondered why it was there? The problem is generic titling. There is a very simple solution for this that I will explain to you and help you put into play in your everyday Fanpopping.

Have I read this article before??? I just can't tell with this generic title!

More generic titles might be ok for pictures (I mean really how specific can you get with a picture.... Amy Adams...

Props&Encouraging

posted by HannaK

When I first started on Fanpop I didn't exactly know what Fanpop really was, I just was on Fanpop so I could see videos of my favourite tv shows.
But then I noticed that you could do other things like answering picks and I started to do that.
Some picks made me laugh really hard, other made me think about things that I've never really thought about.
I did that for a while and it was (and still is) really fun to do and then I began to notice that when I couldn't sleep, or just was bored, I was making picks in my head.

And then I had this brilliant idea (yes, I know, I'm a genius:D) that I could...

IM and Chat are Back!

posted by Fanpop

This is a quick guide to using the new IM and Chat beta launch.

Rooms Tab:
The global-chat is open to all registered fans.

There is another room that is reserved for users of a certain level, and you'll also see that in the Rooms tab. In the past, we've had a few random people come in and hit on the people in the chat rooms, so the reserved room should be relatively free of such riff-raff.

Contact Tab:
Setting custom status messages: click on the pencil, and type away!

Turning off chat: Click on the bubble next to "I am online" and click on the red "Log out" option on the menu.

Contacts are your mutual...

Fanpop Caps: Part II

posted by NocKairu

My showcase on 03.11.2012

If you were looking for information about Fanpop Caps you probably have seen this link made by link. Because this article hasn't been updated for a looong time, and many other Caps have appeared since then, I decided to write continuation for it.

As you already know, there are different sets of Fanpop Caps in your showcase. First of them is link set: link, link, link, link and link.
The second is link set: link, link, link, link and link.

Holidays Caps:
The next set is called link. You already know about link, link, link, link, link and link Cap. They were all given for holidays in 2011.

Save Our Screencaps

posted by DarkSarcasm

This is more of a list than an actual article, compiled from picks and conversations about The Screencap Situation. Thank you to everyone who contributed a point that's been used here - even if you didn't know this would get posted. You're the ones who wrote this. I'm just the dummy who thought it was necessary to post in article form. Desperate times, friends.

Why Fanpop Needs Screencaps

-Screencaps have been added since before there was a screencap category. Now that there's definitely a demand for them here, they'll still get posted - in the photos section. It's already happening. Actual photos...

Fanpop Caps: Everthing you need to know about your Showcase

posted by Eline_K

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.

Five Things That I think Fanpop Should Add ★

posted by x-Yumi-x3

*Repost
( 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...

Famous Persons Spots

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! For at least two times in a row, i've seen users defamating celebrities images! And that of course, doesn't let the fans of a certain celeb, happy! It happens mostly in pick where some users attack the image of a...

A Fanpop Challenge: Pending Spots

posted by cressida

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...

"Yes", "No" and ...."All of the Above"?

posted by cressida

I heart pick additions! Truly!

Just out of curiousity, how do people feel when they've created a pick, find pictures, spell- and grammar-proof the question, finally send it out to the world -- and two weeks later discover new choices that r ovrwhielminley mispeled, say "all of the above" or "none of the above", or are green numbers among all of the pretty pictures?

Well, you can read between the lines for my opinion. But I don't know whether this is a personal irritant or whether many more besides me feel this way.

Of course, there is a time and place for everything. Crazy_chica added a "None of the above" option to my link...

RATE ME!

posted by Temptasia

Why is it on images that there are so many more views than there are people who rated it? It makes me really sad, because I like to see what people think of the content I add. Now, I realize that there are people who view images a more than once, but what I don't understand is when some of my images have 87 views and only 2 people (one of which is me) who rated it. In the past I used to be guilty of this, however after adding a lot of content I realized that how good it made me feel when people took the 2 seconds it takes to rate my content. I mean you are already there, and you veiwed it,...

Fanpop is for fun

posted by mega-boy39

Fanpop is supposed to be a fun place for people to share their ideas, ask questions and find out about some information, but lately fanpop is just used for people to like you or for you to be the best.

I know everybody likes being good and having lots of fans but that's not the point of fanpop.Infact one person even did a pick that said do you like me!

I also have seen that their have been alot of arguments over fanpop in alot of spots which is ruining it for everyone.
