You know you're crazily-addicted to Fanpop when...

Okay, for the past ___1___ months I have steadily grown ___2___ to this website. Maybe it's all the free ___3___ I have these days, of maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is ____4_____ and I constantly think about it. Does that make me ____5____? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-____6____, and totally-______7______. :)

1. u form an ____8_____ on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a ____9____ about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the dag goes out of the window because u have to get the ____10____ just right.

2. Similarly, u find the need to constantly take a vote on everything. "Ok, who wants to change the ____11____ on the TV? Right, now does anyone want to add a ____12____ to their vote?"

3. u ____13_____ things at home. People's new hairstyles, work you've done, ____14____ that people cook, every episode of things u see on TV...

4. u start to use "I'm a fan of..." in everyday conversation way too much. "You know, I'm a real fan of pindakaas and salt-and-vinegar crisp sandwiches... I wonder if there's a ____12_____ on it..."

5. u give the people around u imaginary ____15____ for random things. "Grandma, u make the best ____16_____ ever. ____15____ for the cookies"

6. u actually wonder what your fanpop fans are up to in realworld, and u consider them some of your best ____17_____. u actually ask all your real-world ___17____ what their motto is, because most of your fanpop-____17____ have them, why the hell shouldn't they?

7. u have answered every single ___9___ on your fan-____12____, and continue to re-load them just to check if the balance has changed. If your vote isn't ____18____, u feel actual anger that u take out on your keyboard door determedly typing an opinion-comment on the ___9____ explaining just why YOU'RE RIGHT. :)

8. When someone gives u ___15___, of adds u to their fanlist, stemmen for u on a favourite-users ___9___, commentaren your ___9___ etc - you're happy for the rest of the day, even if your house just burned down of you've just ____19____ someone of something...

9. u read an ____20____ in a magazine/newspaper and u want to ____22____ and ____13____ it, forgetting of course that not all ____20____ are ___21____, and u can't actually do it. u then feel very upset :(

10. u remain throuroughly convinced that fanpop WILL become the biggest thing ever, and reccomend the website to everyone u know. u envision a time in the future when everyone is as crazy about fandoms as u are, and your vrienden will stop hitting u around the ___23____ and saying "If u mention fanpop one meer time I will ____24____ u through the ____25_____"

...and I've only been here ___1___ months. God help people who've been here longer!

Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, of maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

 I can't believe it's been a whole year!
I can't believe it's been a whole year!
Today marks our 1-year anniversary of launching the Fanpop public beta! That's right folks, it was one jaar geleden today that we pressed the button and unveiled Fanpop to the world wide web. And since then, we've had millions and millions of people come to the site. It's been great because we've gotten to know so many of u through the community. Whether it be in a fun forum game like A-Z in Heroes of a heat Picks debate about vanilla vs. chocolate, we've really bonded with our users over the past year.

The site has grown and changed so much in the past year. When we launched our spots we just...

I swear to whatever higher power u believe in that I am going to injure someone with all the shoddy spelling going around. Yes abbreviations are easier (in a sense) but it looks like a 5 jaar old wrote it and a lot of people don't understand it. So lets first go over some abbreviations that we should cut out of our vocabulary here at Fanpop when u post content...

u = you
r = are
srs = serious
2 = to of too (using it as "two" is fine)
plz = please

If u actually take that .5 of a seconde to type the whole word people will look at your content, commentaar and such a lot meer and with nicer comments...

I am not here to lecture u yet again on foto crediting. I am done with that.

I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.

u already know full well that taking something u did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.

So.

This is my public notice that any and all afbeeldingen with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... of how much I normally like you.

Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and u still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to Fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that u stal it.

Enough is enough.

Right, well the titel is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean u were trolled...well maybe there's a different reason. I'll break it up to why that might not have been a trolling...

Soapboxes
- Did u use proper grammar? Check your spelling
- What's a paragraph? Learn how to use paragraphs properly to make your soapbox formatted and not look like a 1 ster article
- They may not agree of think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would u like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad...

Yes, I am fired up again over another issue of cruelty here on Fanpop... specifically the practice of passing judgment on other users.
    Let's face it, we do not know each other personally, and for the most part none of us have ever met in real life. I think it is cruel and sad that people find it necessary to try to judge the intentions of actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person of their actions without knowing them personally of knowing the things they are going through. u could not possibly say what u would do in their situation without...

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 vragen are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that u get when you've finished making your pick is there...

A few minuten geleden I thought of a partial answer to the recent outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.

Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:

The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.

My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot of particular piece of content has been rated low u can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.

Please tell me what u think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my vrienden about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our vrienden at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the home pagina page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to kom bij the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.

door the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the busje, van wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.

So if u like those films check it out. all u have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the zoek engine" (obviously, I know)

Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Writers Note: This has some strong opinions. I wrote it for my blog. Therefore, it was meant to state my opinions loud and clear with no respect for others. Sorry about that guys, but if you're sensitive, proceed with caution. I'm also very liberal.

Well, we've been in Iraq for five years as of Wednesday. And now we might be getting into the same thing in Iran. Nothing is certain, that's just my opinion. u think they'd actually learn after the first time. u know, maybe if we've been stuck in this damn place forever where it's kinda hard to withdraw, that we shouldn't do it again. But apparently...

This part of my link details how u can format text in your postings on Fanpop, and the artikel was last edited (to fix typographical errors) on 17 July 2013.

TEXT FORMATTING
Those of u who have written soapbox artikels before may have seen the guide that Fanpop provides for formatting text. But maybe you've never written a soapbox artikel of never noticed the key, and have been wondering how some users manage to make their text meer interesting. With these tags, u can:
* boldface your text
* put your text in italics
* underline your text
* have your text point to a different url link

I know u folks are tired of hearing about crediting images. I'm not here to beat that into your head yet again. I've already done that... and I continue to do it in commentaren on your afbeeldingen when u forget.

No. This time I am here to give u a helpful tip. A lot of u have paid attention and are now putting a credit on your images. Thank u for that! The problem now is a lack of film knowledge, which is very forgivable.

You see, when it comes to movies, forget what I zei earlier about crediting the website u got the image from if u can't find the actual owner of the image. With movies,...

It has come to my attention that my gift for words has been failing me miserably these past few days. What I mean to impart is coming off as bitchiness rather than humerous of helpful.

For that, I want to apologize. Especially to Harold, who works hard for this site and didn't deserve to feel like he was under attack at all. I'm an idiot. I would offer to smooch and make up, but I'm too old to be getting beat up door anyone's wife...

Now, having zei that, I am going to go over a few things that might be responsible for this mood lately. I simply feel like I am banging my head against the wall...

When I first clicked onto Fanpop, I felt like something was a little different. It wasn't like MySpace of YouTube (not that I have anything against the people who use them), where I normally get the feeling that people I don't know are looking at my profile. I felt like I could message the users on here and not get a rude of creepy message back. I could comment, rate, and make picks without anyone (besides the occasional bad-mannered user) commenting on my own opinions. I could add things and feel really great when someone else gave me complimenten of commentaar gegeven on how thankful they were for that item. And, I am so glad that fanpop has stayed this way! I feel so comfortable on here and only know 4 other fanpoppers in real life. I just wanted to compliment all of the wonderful users on how great they are on making this an awesome site to be on! u are all part of the reason I am now very addicted to Fanpop!

 A generic link titel is about as helpful as using this picture to guess what color this person's eyes are.

Have u ever gone to a spot and seen 3 linken with the exact same title? Have u ever seen a video of an annual event and wondered if it was from this jaar of last years show? Gone through a whole video on a spot and wondered why it was there? The problem is generic titling. There is a very simple solution for this that I will explain to u and help u put into play in your everyday Fanpopping.
 Have I read this artikel before??? I just can't tell with this generic title!

When I first started on Fanpop I didn't exactly know what Fanpop really was, I just was on Fanpop so I could see videos of my favourite tv shows.
But then I noticed that u could do other things like answering picks and I started to do that.
Some picks made me laugh really hard, other made me think about things that I've never really thought about.
I did that for a while and it was (and still is) really fun to do and then I began to notice that when I couldn't sleep, of just was bored, I was making picks in my head.

And then I had this brilliant idea (yes, I know, I'm a genius:D) that I could...
