DarkSarcasm What a lovely collection of crap.

DarkSarcasm Ok, I've seen it for myself now. (Only shows up when you're not logged in.) I'd really like to know what decides which images show up on the home page. Each time I refresh, it shows mostly girly cartoons, boy bands, and Michael Jackson. Kinda says, "Would you like some candy, little girl? Get in my van. I mean, join my site." AND ANOTHER THING. There's a looot of uncredited fan art in the grid. That's not a message I'd want to send - "steal someone else's work from DeviantArt or tumblr, add it here without crediting its maker, and YOU TOO can be featured on the front page!" It's rewarding thievery and encouraging laziness. Not cool. Fanpop is an incredibly diverse site, with thousands of great fandoms. That's the joy of the site - there's something here for everyone. These random "most popular" images don't even begin to illustrate that. It just makes the site look like a cesspool of stolen tween junk. Or a trap. Ok, I think I'm done now.

nmdis @DarkSarcasm: Please please don't say whatever you think many of the fanarts which you're talking about are REALLY made by the users on Disney princes so you can't say that it's devianart users work or tumblr's users work I do agree however that there are too many girly things but you shouldn't say that all the works are stolen because even I have created so many art work users here are talented too dear and if you don't believe it go and check DP fan club you'll know.

DarkSarcasm ^I didn't say everything was stolen. I said a lot of it was. Just about every image I clicked on was without credit. If fanpop users make the things they submit, they should say so. If someone else made it, they should [i]really[/i] say so.

zanhar1 Not sure how I feel about this. I personally don't want anything I post on the homepage unless they show the credit on the homepage too.

Flickerflame What about when the most recently uploaded images in a club appear on its main page? That doesn't show the credit (or keywords) either.

DarkSarcasm ^That's in individual clubs - the people in it are responsible for maintaining it. You want quality content to show up on a spot's home page? Add it. The grid is on the front page, and represents Fanpop as a whole. It's generated, we have no way to change what's on it, and it makes us all look bad.

zanhar1 That's a good point. However I feel like is a bit different as they are more manageable not on the homepage. And they a aren't representing the whole of fanpop. They should feature graphics made by fanpop users not others if that makes sense.

DarkSarcasm ^Ooh, that's a good idea - like a spotlight on Fanpopper art. There are a lot of great graphic-makers here. Can't help but think that would lead to a lot of false claims, though. If only there was a way to prove who made what...

Flickerflame That'd probably encourage people to claim work is theirs when it's not, just to get it featured.

zanhar1 ^^ Ecactly. There's a fault in anything. Honestly there will always be a handful of people ruining it for the lot of us.
