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.

Ten years ago, Fanpop made its presence on the Internet and people joined the site one way of another. I first found out about Fanpop when I did a Google Image zoek on "link". That was back in May 2010, in which I signed up for the site as CHILDISHY; now I use my ReptarZolo account to match with my current DeviantArt account. All those years, Fanpop became cluttered with various types of violative content, including and especially pornography. With only four admins, I don't believe Fanpop will last any longer; this can be prevented if the admins promote some users, preferably those they trust, to become moderators and help clean up the site.
Ok so I'm sooo sorry If I waited to long to do the story I SWEAR! that i'm going to do it tomorrow i'm so sorry. I have to many problems and i'm very emotional the last couple of days and it's a big problem with my family and i'm very sad but i really will start the story I swear! I cant really tell u about my family issues but I need someone to talk to. But on the other hand if u can be my co-writer i would LOVE that but u have to be good like not basic, u know how when people push the story too fast...

ATTENTION: This is just a user opinion's on what could be cool for Fanpop.
1. Customize Profile: Everyone likes to have a nice profiel homepage, so my first idea is we have a chance of customize our own profile, with backgrounds, colors, fonts etc...
2. Medal Meter: I think every Fanpopers like to know how much are they far to get a medal on the spot, so my 2nd idea is FP give us the chance to see if we are far of close to get our medal.
3. profiel Viewers: How many and what users did check our profile.
4. commentaar Reply Notice: Be notice in u updates when someone reply u in a comment.
5. Possibility to Change User name: Sometimes people don't like their user names...a opportunity to change would be nice ;)
Hope u Enjoy It
