Dictionaries are a handy tool.
Dictionaries are a handy tool.
One thing that's becoming more and more prominent as time goes on, is that people online don't feel the need to use good grammar and spelling. Now, despite the fact that when on IM or whatevs, it's really fine to use all of these little abbreviations like "jk" "lol" "atm" etc. etc. etc. Before I get any farther into this uncontrolled rant, let me just say that I do use some internet slang. Most of this, however, are words that I make up. So, whatevs, deelie, yuppers, wazhappenin, etc. etc. etc. I'm not one to use mainstream slang other than "lol" because there is NO replacement for LOL. No,...

Ok, now I know that there are other articles out there about keeping Fanpop clean in terms of language and being appropriate but it is obviously not enough seeing as people continue to ignore it.

I am not by any means trying to be rude or bossy. I am not your mother. My goal in writing this is hopefully a common one among Fanpop users, to make Fanpop a joyful place for all users.

Topic 1: Language
I myself am very guilty of inappropriate language on Fanpop. I have said some things where if I think twice was not a good idea. I understand that some people say things out of habit and can do it without...

Why do i love fanpop, i just don't know i find i hard to figure out and o my god i can't think. It must be somthing but what. I can't get it out of my mind. Well my first idea was that is could be some of the funny and brilliant videos i watch, it could be. Was it the amazingly good soapbox's people take time to write, could be.

Hmmm i don't seem to be geting any further into understanding why i love fanpop, i still can't get it out of my mind. HELP!!! i keep thinking. Is it the funny and insightful comments people take time to write, could be. Is it the forum's that we all play game's and...

In the past few months, we've all received many different gifts. I've saved the best for last.

Happy New Year!

I sincerely hope the past holiday season was celebrated by you and those you love safely and happily.

My favorite gifts this time of year are the simple ones. Gifts that never go out of style and always fit right - friendship and love. the holidays have a way of reminding me I should be sharing these gifts, not only during these special times, but all year long.

It is within my power to make two persons happier in the next few minutes, simply by telephoning someone who has blessed and...

Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, or maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

1. You form an opinion on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a pick about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the day goes out...

I can't believe it's been a whole year!
I can't believe it's been a whole year!
Today marks our 1-year anniversary of launching the Fanpop public beta! That's right folks, it was one year ago today that we pressed the button and unveiled Fanpop to the world wide web. And since then, we've had millions and millions of people come to the site. It's been great because we've gotten to know so many of you through the community. Whether it be in a fun forum game like A-Z in Heroes or a heat Picks debate about vanilla vs. chocolate, we've really bonded with our users over the past year.

The site has grown and changed so much in the past year. When we launched our spots we just...

If you must promote a club, try these tips.
If you must promote a club, try these tips.
Re-reading the various articles about promoting clubs on Fanpop, it occurred to me that some fairly basic ideas were missing for promoting the clubs you like (not just the ones you create, but any clubs you enjoy).

Many of the previous etiquette articles and forum threads have described things to avoid in promoting a club, as well as suggestions for things to do. For once, I'm not going to rant about undesirable behavior (that's the plan, anyway), but just keep the focus on other things fans can try to promote their favorite clubs.

I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I just logged onto Fanpop about a half hour ago and discovered something extremely profane and inappropriate on the YouTube spot. Due to it's heavily pornographic material, the video was deleted shortly thanks to several reports from some handy fellow Fanpoppers.

It was submitted by a user of the name bon8699. I reported this user 3 times and I expect him to be banned for a long, long time.

The reason I am so annoyed that this was submitted is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where you can submit images like this as much as you please without...

I swear to whatever higher power you believe in that I am going to injure someone with all the shoddy spelling going around. Yes abbreviations are easier (in a sense) but it looks like a 5 year old wrote it and a lot of people don't understand it. So lets first go over some abbreviations that we should cut out of our vocabulary here at Fanpop when you post content...

u = you
r = are
srs = serious
2 = to or too (using it as "two" is fine)
plz = please

If you actually take that .5 of a second to type the whole word people will look at your content, comment and such a lot more and with nicer comments...

I am not here to lecture you yet again on photo crediting. I am done with that.

I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.

You already know full well that taking something you did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.

So.

This is my public notice that any and all images with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... or how much I normally like you.

Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and you still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to Fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that you stole it.

Enough is enough.

Right, well the title is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean you were trolled...well maybe there's a different reason. I'll break it up to why that might not have been a trolling...

Soapboxes
- Did you use proper grammar? Check your spelling
- What's a paragraph? Learn how to use paragraphs properly to make your soapbox formatted and not look like a 1 star article
- They may not agree or think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would you like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad...

Yes, I am fired up again over another issue of cruelty here on Fanpop... specifically the practice of passing judgment on other users.
    Let's face it, we do not know each other personally, and for the most part none of us have ever met in real life. I think it is cruel and sad that people find it necessary to try to judge the intentions or actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person or their actions without knowing them personally or knowing the things they are going through. You could not possibly say what you would do in their situation without...
