Well, I started using fanpop back in May 2007, and since then I see how the community keeps increasing in numbers which is great. I haven't been the most active user for a while now, but as I zei somewhere else, I've always loved the site and therefore I come back every once in a while to spend some time fanpopping.

There is something I've noticed lately, that is obviously hard to control as the amount of users grows, but I thought I would point it out. What I noticed is a serious misunderstanding of the idea behind the "props" feature.

~ Let's start with the basics, according to the Online Slang dictionary, complimenten are:
- Praise, Compliments...

I understand that all of u probably know this definition, but I see that some appear to have forgotten. The idea behind complimenten is to praise someone for the content added. It's to give out a compliment for the contribution made door the user.

I have seen, sadly, several users give ENTIRE PAGES of complimenten with the only purpose of attacking the other user, calling him/her names, bullying, insulting, etc. As I say this I'm actually scared someone will take this the wrong way and respond badly, which I honestly hope doesn't happen, because that's not the purpose of this.

I'm not going to judge anyone based on their "prop activity" because that would be ridiculous, and also I'm not familiar with the story-behind people's complimenten of fights. However I don't think Fanpop is a place for verbally abusing anyone, and still, even when u ignore this "detail", the purpose of complimenten is not that.

Going back to Fanpop's faq, the answer to what are props? is the following:
"Fan complimenten are a way for fans to publicly express their appreciation for other fans and their contributions on the site."

As I said, I think complimenten are gegeven to someone else as a praise of compliment for that users' contribution on this site. Giving out entire pages of complimenten with the same message that is just verbally insulting the user, I think not only goes against the purpose of the compliment feature, but also against the purpose of Fanpop.

Hope nobody takes this the wrong way, just thought maybe after a few things I saw, a reminder of how complimenten are meant to be used shouldn't be bad.
Also, although insulting (I think) is never ok, to resolve a personal issue, it is also possible to use the private message system.

♥♥I think the way your profiel is set up is somewhat important, if u have a neat an interesting profiel meer people may want to fan you. So profile's are important.!

Here is my other proposal for fanpop.com.
What do u think about it?



You can go to a users profiel and check their activity there. But i don't believe it's just me who think it's overbearing to go to activity and then rate of whatever you'll do.
I think it would be a "search-fan-pane" at every spot where u can zoek for a fan and see everything that the fan has post at the spot your on.
Like this:
1. Go to a spot
2. zoek for the user u want to
3. Then u can pick between icons, photos, fanart, videos, artikels ect. (It's like when u "Searh Fanpop")
4. when u press at the category u wanna...

I found a lijst of science fiction fan words that I thought some of u guys out there in the Fanpop domain would enjoy (I've tried to define them in relation to Fanpop):



Actifan : A fan who's active in fandom (by Writing soapbox articles, starting forums etc.)

BNF : a Big Name Fan

Croggle : To shock of Astound (If someone croggles you, u are croggled of becroggled)

Egoboo : An ego boost (the sort caused door finding your artikel featured of someone new being a fan of you)

Egoscan : To skim through an artikel (publication) looking for your name mentioned (like googling yourself)

Faan : A fan who's...

 Um, ok so maybe these features aren't THAT secret...
Um, ok so maybe these features aren't THAT secret...
There are a lot of features on Fanpop. Some are well known and others are less well known (there are also a ton of others we *want* to do, but that's for another conversation). Today I thought I would highlight a few of the less-well-known features for you.

Why? Because, dammit, we spent time on these features! Sure picks and afbeeldingen might be sexier, but these are the runts of the proverbial Fanpop-litter and they need some time in the spotlight too.

(side note: if u already know about these, then consider yourself a very knowledgeable Fanpopper. But if u don't...well, here's hoping you...
