Picks!

posted by HannaK

Okay, I don't know if it's just coincidence but I noticed this week that some picks just are, I don't quite know how to describe it, bad.

It just seems that a lot of picks are asked so that they are asked, a lot of them don't have pictures. (that's not very important but I can't help noticing)
But the worst thing is that there are so many typos in the questions. Look, my English is not very good, I make a lot of mistakes but al least I try to make as less as possible. I mean, a lot of questions are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that you get when you've finished making your pick is there for a reason!

And try to be creative!!!! Some questions are asked a thousend times! 'do you think that he should end up with her' It feels like I answered that pick a billion times.

Of course you can totally disagree with me, it's just my opinion, I understand it if you think that I'm just nagging about this, but this is just how I think about it.
And this is not going about anyone in particular, I'm sorry if you feel offended by it

Keep Fanpop fun!

aholic Maybe someone just don't have time, or can't find any pictures that fits to the option. But I like it too when people are creative, also in spot icons and banner.

chel1395 Oh, I love you Hanna. You read my mind. Especially in the Picks spot, I'll leave the site in the evenings and get back on in the morning and there are about 20 new picks. Most of them don't have pictures (I'll be honest, I don't even bother answering those most of the time) and the question isn't capitalized, there's no punctuation, not even a question mark! If you are going to ask a question, please put a question mark at the end. I thank those great Fanpoppers out there, like Hanna, who put time and effort into picks. :D

pirateroro I do agree with the typo issue. Its so boring to have to sit there and attempt to read what people are trying to say. I have also noticed on more than one occasion, that a user will think of a pick, and then post it in 2-4 different spots, with characters not even relevant to the spot. Example : Who's hotter? Michael Schofield or Nathan Petrelli? Posted in The OC Spot. (not actually existent pick) Although i still answer all these, i know i would find it strange if i wasnt a fan of Heroes and came across this in the OC Spot.

ineedcoffee cool image, and nice article.

eisai_xazo BRAVO!

amazondebs yes i completley agree i do not understand why people will do picks for the sake of it i men yes it's nice to a get a medal but it shouldn't be your reason to make picks (won't it be nicer to get a medal cause you deserve one?) also a lot of people say that they create a lot of picks because they're bored (which is fair enough) but if you are bored don't you have the time to create a intresting pick and add pictures?

HannaK couldn't agree with you more amazondebs

dazl Which is better this soapbox article or Peter Petrelli?

germany123 i have said it before: english is not my first language and it makes it even more difficult for me to understand when people post picks like "is sumon hotta ten tha otha"..i think its actually kind of offensive to the community if you post picks you just made because you were bored or wanted a medal. thanks for writing this..

DrDevience It is very amusing when one of the targets chimes in with agreement, not even realising they are guilty. (and no, not naming any names... just a casual observation of this comment section) Dazl: All of the Above!

Homophobia - Stop the Hate

posted by dramallama56

Learn to love and not hate

This was originally going to be an article on all sorts of hatred, discrimination and prejudice. But then I had something horrible happen to me online this morning, and I decided that I was going to focus on one, simple, hate.

Homophobia.

In my experience, it's absolutely horrible. So in this article, I'm going to discuss why you should put a stop to it, and just go through a couple of small anecdotes, expressing to you how hateful, horrible and mean it can be.

Why I Agree With The Age

posted by zanhar1

First and for most I intend no offense here. I suppose you can also call this article 'Why Maturity Is Important'. I don't hate or even dislike 12 and under users. So please don't get the wrong idea.

First and foremost I agree with it for the simple fact that rules are rules. There's an age limit for a reason.

And rules are usually in place for safety. In this case it isn't so much physical safety as it is mental safety. I have seen a vast array of young users who couldn't have been older than 8 post images of themselves all over. Okay, that's their choice, but it is a little dangerous. I don't...

Popcoins- or: my unnecessary idea #401

posted by caramelmilk

Hello =)

Sit down, shut up and listen to my (pretty much) unnecessary but still quite fun idea #401.
You may laugh afterwards.
But now...Silence and pay attention!

Disclaimer: Yes I admit it, I didn't come up with this idea on my own, I saw something similar years ago on a german website.

Here we go...
POPCOINS
Popcoins are virtual fanpop money.
The idea came to my mind when I was thinking about a possibility to change one's username without being able to change it all the time and without having to pay real money.

This is how popcoins would work:
There would be a popcoin symbol right next to where the...

The Official Fanpop Dictionary

posted by Cinders

The OFD (Official Fanpop Dictionary) was first published in 2009. The OFD is a compilation of words the etymology of which can be found in the roots of Fanpop history. There is no one author of the OFD, as it is made possible by the generous donations of several committed Fanpoppers (see dictionary below). Common usage of words in the fanpop vernacular is also added to the dictionary. If you wish to make a contribution to the OFD, by all means add your word to the list in the form of a comment.

Behind The Scenes - Interview With Papa

posted by caramelmilk

I had the chance to get an interview with link from the F4. I hope you'll enjoy reading his answers to the questions I asked him as much as I did!
Here goes a big THANKS! to him, link, link and link for interacting so much with us users and making fanpop a great site!

As a member of the F4 - how many messages per day do you get from fanpop users?
papa:It varies. Some days there's a lot of messages, some days not so much. But a dozen or more a day isn't unusual. The most common request I get is to change a club icon/banner/motto. I'm always happy to do this (and we definitely need a better way...
