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!

Putting A Face To The Username's

posted by ali22

Im on Fanpop everyday now, (like loads of other user's....im addicted!) I feel i have made a load of new friends, some a lot younger than me, some my own age and some slightly older. I would really like it if we could all use our own pictures as our icon's for a week or so as i would love to put a face to all the username's. I know a lot of you do use your own picture so this is just for the people like me who don't.

While im here i would like to say a huge thank you to Dave, Papa, Micheal and Cliff for all your hard work and giving us an amazing website to visit everyday!

Will also thank all you user's.....Cressida, Kathiria, Megloveskyle, Harold, DrDevience, Benji and so many more of you! You guys rock and make Fanpop such a good place to be! :)

Three cheers for 'shipping clubs!

posted by harold

I'm human, and it's part of the human condition to avoid change. So I admit I get a little irritated when stuff on Fanpop changes. I still haven't got used to the differences between the search bars on the site, for instance - every day I scratch my head, wondering why I get no results when I look for "Fanpop Users", until I realize that I was looking within the link instead of through the whole site (someday I'll get used to this.

I hate it when this crap happens

Someday soon, I hope, as I was one of the users who requested the feature!). Similarly, back in August 2008, I found myself...

The Fanpop Fanpeeves

posted by benji

I've spent the last fortnight or so getting a little peeved with certain things on Fanpop, they're mostly the tiny things, but if I don't mentioned them, I'm going to outburst on some poor person who doesn't deserve it, so instead, I'm giving a bit of global Fanpop advice, you ready? Here we go...

Get off your soapbox!
Lately I’ve been noticing the most frustrating thing from a lot of rather popular and regular Fanpoppers. Writing articles that don’t have any heart, they barely have content and they’ve clearly just been added to voice a passing opinion that could have been done in pick...

The SECRET behind the glitch

posted by prophet69

Everyone has been thinking about the secret of the glitch. Yes. It's the great-o-legendary glitch of multiple answers. A lot of fanpoppers have even earned a lot of medals by posting the images of this glitch. Okay, I hate to bring this to you that you are also responsible for posting double or multiple answers. It's actually not a glitch at all. So, what is it? What's the secret? Now, I'm going to reveal the secret. So, don't get your undies in a bunch. This is the magic formula of multiple answering: 1)First, click the "answer this question" button 2)Now, you have entered the fresh page...
