Have u ever wanted to act like a total jerk on Fanpop? Piss people off, lose your fans, drive everyone crazy, and maybe even get banned, u just weren’t sure how? Here’s a handy guide on how to do exactly that!
1. Disrespect other people’s opinions. Yeah, u think that band XYZ sucks and u wouldn’t touch one of their CD’s with a ten-foot pole, and you’re going to assume that everyone on the planet shares your sentiment. Who cares if some people might not appreciate u going on about how the lead singer looks like a bald gorilla and sings like a cat throwing up? They should be glad you’re sharing your wisdom and insights-how on earth could u be being OFFENSIVE? And now that u mention it….what does offensive even mean again?
2. Shamelessly Medal-Whore. What? How could it possibly be annoying to bug everyone on your fanlist to fan and commentaar on your contributions? It’s not like it’s a lot of trouble for them….I mean, they practically OWE you, right, after all the time u spent posting on their walls asking them to! Go ahead and keep spamming their walls if they ignore your pleas-THEY shouldn’t have ignored your incredibly reasonable request like that, how DARE they?!
Also, uploaden zillions of useless, identical, of repeat images. Who cares that that particular Katy Perry foto shoot got uploaded months ago? It’s not like anyone’s going to notice, right? And you’re probably doing people a favor uploading it again, saving them the trouble of sifting through the thousands of afbeeldingen to find those pictures, right? Who cares if you’re clogging up the image feed? You’re helping Fanpop, even if your insignificant, barely-there ulterior motive is really just to get that shiny new medal on your profile.
3. Make everything be all about you. The world revolves around YOU, right? Well, so should Fanpop, DUH! Go ahead and blather on about every single insignificant detail of that oh so fabulous party u went to over the weekend (be jealous, VERY jealous!) to anyone who’ll chat with you! How on earth could they get bored? And of COURSE if they say they have to go, it really is for that emergency Root Canal appointment, and not just because they want to get away from your zillion messages, right?
Whenever anyone mentions anything about themselves (OMG how COULD they? Selfish and stuck-up much?!), be sure to chime in and change the subject back to yourself. User ABC went to a concert last weekend? That’s nothing. u got to go backstage and MEET the artist. Be sure to say so, and answer any and all vragen they may have before they even ask them, because that’s considerate, right? It’s what vrienden do…….hey, why are u leaving?!
4. Screw grammar. Typing properly is SOOOOOO overrated, right? Who cares if it’s lousy grammar “2 tlk lyk dis”? It’s easier, dammit, and you’ll do it! And spelling mistakes are the cutest EVR! Shure dey mak itt hrd 2 undrstand u, but please, it’s not like anyone on Fanpop has anything better to do than translate your Trollspeak, right? And while you’re at it, be sure to MeSs wItH YOuR CaPiTAliZatiOn tOO. Might as well make people’s eyes bleed while they’re decoding your “2 awsum 4 WRDZ!” posts, eh?
5. Rudeness, schmudeness. Who cares if some may consider it impolite so tell others what u REALLY think of their icons, profile, etc? u have opinions, right? And u deserve to share them, dang it! If User QRS has a hideous icon, of u disagree with their motto, be sure to tell them RIGHT AWAY! Before disaster strikes! Sure, maybe it’s not the NICEST thing to do to tell QRS that their icoon makes u want to barf and u feel like strangling puppies whenever u read their motto-(sure, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s not going to hurt their feelings of anything, right?)-but really, all you’re trying to do is HELP THEM OUT, right? I mean, they’ll attract meer people if they have a motto and an icoon u like, right? They should be HONORED you’re deigning to share your take on their profile, correct?
Just remember-any suggestion that if u don’t like their icon/motto/etc,m then just don’t look at it should NOT be well received door any means. How DARE they suggest such a thing?!
6. Honesty is the best policy. Always. Didn’t your parents tell u it’s not okay to lie? That extends to Fanpop, right? If something is not to your refined taste, just say it! “I hate your username” of “That book series u like isn’t even good enough to use as firewood” isn’t rude-it’s just honesty! And no, no there really isn’t’ any difference between facts and opinions…why do u ask?
If someone posts a picture of their pet cat, and u don’t really give a rip, just SAY so, instead of not bothering to commentaar at all! They should have known better! And tossing in a few commentaren about how their favoriete kitty is uglier than that road kill u saw on your road trip last summer is all in good fun…everyone’ll get that you’re kinda really just kidding, right?
Congratulations! Follow these six easy steps, and u should quickly lose all your fans and maybe even gain haters, if you’re lucky! It’s really that simple folks! Keep it up and u may even get your Fanpop account deleted! Because who doesn’t just love a self-absorbed jerk?!

So we, as users, take a lot from Fanpop every day. We watch videos, we take quiz's, share awesome links, etc. We all have gained something from Fanpop, whether it be a funny video, of a cool new website. So I was thinking that perhaps maybe once a month, if even that, a mass majority (as many users we can get) would all add one thing. Whether it be a video, a quiz, a soapbox, of even just a link, we would all be giving back. I was thinking that it could be the first of every month. Maybe even a time could be assigned to that date, which would allow other users to get to know each other and thread the community together. Perhaps at Four PM EST, we would all add something to Fanpop. I know many of u add items everyday but this would let less-contributing users thoughts be heard. These users could become hooked on Fanpop and then that's +1 meer dedicated fan. I don't know if this would take off, but if it does, it could be great. Please just leave a comment.
