Fanpop members that I recommend being a fan of

posted by Windrises

Fanpop is a awesome website that's lots of fun. This place has several talented people. This is about the Fanpop members that I recommend the most. I hope you check out their work.

Rupsa

Rupsa is a girl who's a big anime fan. She has made some reviews about anime shows. She's a very talented writer. I think you should check out her reviews. She has plenty of fans, but that doesn't mean she can't have more so I recommend becoming her newest fan.

RainSoul

RainSoul is another anime fan who's reviewed some anime songs. She's a good writer. Also she's a very nice person. She also has plenty of fans,...

Help this site out!

posted by HomelySausage

Creators of Fanpop,

This really is a fantastic site, it is like a
cooler, safer Facebook in my opinion. But, there
has been a decline in users, and not any increase. One thing is the new default style is less user friendly and a lot of people don't like it. So, you could make the old fanpop style the default style, or make the option to change to it more obvious. There is also the issue of a lack of advertisement; I had literally never known or even seen anything about this site until late March this year. I have never seen an ad for this website in my life. If it is to expensive or the ads just aren't being shown in a lot of places you could at least encourage people to share it with others.

A song for fanpoppers

posted by mega-boy39

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.

A Fanpop Christmas Story

Spongebob: You're full of barnacles and so is your dad!
Dr Blowhole: Says who?
Spongebob: Says I!
Dr B: Oh yeah?
Spongebob: Yeah!
Dr B: Well I double dare you!
Skipper: Terrific! My arch nemesis is at it with his crazy tricks again!
Kendall: Like what Skipper said, Blowhole is at it again, but the exact exchange for this ritual very important. Spongebob has to be careful.
Spongebob: Are you crazy? Stick my tongue to that flagpole? That's stupid!
Dr B: That's cause you know it will stick!

Bulk posting kills keywords

posted by Snerkie

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...

The Fanpop Pop Quiz

posted by papa

Win fantastic prizes!

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...

Fanpop User's Guide: Links

posted by harold

This section of my Fanpop User's Guide covers links, the lifeblood of Fanpop, and was last substantively edited on 4 June 2013.

So, you've registered on the site and now you want to add some content to your favorite spots. The vast majority of the stuff on fanpop is in the form of links which point to content in other places, whether they are articles, galleries, videos, games, or any other sort of content you can find online.

Check before you add!
Any time that you are about to add content to Fanpop, you should check first to make sure that the content isn't already linked from the site (at least...

Good Grammar is Sexy

posted by blisslikethis

Yes, yes it is.

As some of you may know, I often suffer from grammar-induced rage blackouts. These can be triggered by anything from a misplaced apostrophe to the incorrect usage of "your" and "you're". So, I decided to do something about it.. mostly because I'm afraid the next dangling modifier I come across might send me spiraling into a violent rampage the likes of which have never been seen.

I understand that a lot of Fanpoppers are not native English speakers, and thus might not have as good a hold on our sometimes ridiculously complicated grammatical rules. Obviously, I can't fault them for their mistakes....

How to Check if an Image Has Already Been Uploaded to Fanpop

posted by cassie-1-2-3

Duplicate images tend to really bother me in certain spots, and I’ve observed that I’m far from the only one. I know it’s difficult sometimes to know if an image has been uploaded into a spot or not when there are 999,483,937 uploads, especially when they’re lacking in the keyword department.

Google has this nice new feature called a Reverse Image Search. With a reverse image search, you are able to upload or link an image into the search bar and you’ll be given a list of web pages containing your selected image.

(I’m about to walk you through the steps. I’ll be using a picture...

Snerkie's say on Spots

posted by Snerkie

Right, I have been thinking about this. I have been thinking about certain things on Fanpop recently and as much as I love this place there are certain things that irk me.

Hate Spots
I've seen spots that are about hating a certain thing. I thought this place was more about sharing things we enjoy so we can give each other images, links, videos, etc not "oh I hate this and this and this". It doesn't make anything friendly.

Me Me Me Spots
I mean no offence to anyone that has these kinds of spots and has created them but Fanpop isn't MySpace or any of those other social networks. It's a different...

The true meaning of a FAN

posted by Jonapello23

Okay everybody on Fanpop is a fan of something, you have to be, But what is a true fan? Well, I'll tell you.
According to Webster's Dictionary, a Fan is
A:
Function: noun
Etymology: probably short for fanatic
1 : an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator
2 : an ardent admirer or enthusiast (as of a celebrity or a pursuit) <science-fiction fans>

This is a great definition of a fan of a baseball team or a specific person, such as the Yankees or Brad Pitt. But is that really what the Fans on Fanpop are? No....

What happened to the Meebo bar

posted by rileyferguson

Today on June 6th, The Meebo bar was not working. Many fans could not log on and all of them thought that it was a glitch or a fail. But then, according to snakemanfan, Google shut down Meebo permanently to work on Google+. It is totally damn stupid. I know that many people use the meebo bar in order for chatting on Fanpop and other stuff, But this is just sad. Google want to dominate the whole internet. Just because Google+ is being updated just does not mean that you have to shut down the Meebo bar permanently. So today, We have to say our Final Words to the Meebo bar as it shuts down forever.

This will be a really sad thing for users who have used the Meebo Bar. I really do not know if they will replace it or bring it back, But for now, Meebo is gone, Forever. :( :( :(

OMG I HATE THE NEW LAYOOT!I AM LEAVING THIS SITE!

posted by germany123

Kidding as usual. Actually, it's Sunday and I have some spare time on my hands so I thought I would write up some points I think need changing with the new layoot and I invite you to CONSTRUCTIVELY make your points in the comments. My idea behind this is to have a collection of concerns that we can show the F4. This way instead of ranting and going "OMG I HATE DIS!" we can make ourselves heard. I know the F4 are awesome and have listened to us in the past. Remember the wall debacle? Remember how they changed the layoot after we pointed it oot? Remember how they brought back the forums?

How To Upload Images

posted by emerald_32

Hey there! I'm emerald_32, but you can call me Emerald or Em. Today I'll be showing you a quick tutorial I made on how to upload images.
So I've heard that a lot of users are having problems with the new image uploader. I have to say, it isn't really that complicated. For a 1-2 days it was for me, but I figured it out now. Since some don't, I'll be writing this article for that situation.

Please note that the browser that I use is Google Chrome, because it has some built-in plug-ins that are handy when surfing the net and uploading images.

Okay, let's get started. So, I want to upload two images...

Helping A Medal Whore? Response

posted by Ashley-Green

I guess you're already kind of resolved about this, but I thought I'd tell you my standing on it anyway.

If I receive messages and wall posts asking for me to join spots or 'fan' content from Fanpoppers who I have had no prior contact with, and I'm busy, I simply ignore their pleas, with the safe assumption that they've sent them to dozens of people, and even if I didn't want to upset them by being non-responsive, they wouldn't notice.
However, when I have nothing on my hands (Fanpop-wise), I tend to check out their content and see if it's any good, and if I think it contributes to the club well,...

How to disappear like a fart

Special thanks to link, our fanpop guinea pig. (or should I say lab rat?)

Removing your own account is a pretty new feature, many people may not be aware of it yet.
