The vraag on all of your minds, I'm sure. Certainly, you're not asking the vraag "Who the blast is Cinders?!" Because I am awesome and u should know the answer to that already.

I have been consistently Fanpopping in some way shape of form since May 2007 (over five years now) but unfortunately I'm afraid I may have to take a break. I just didn't want to go the way of devoted fanpoppers before me, who were awesome and then dropped off the face of the planet with no notice.

This is no grand goodbye, no trumpeted announcement telling everyone how bored of fed up I've become with Fanpop. I...

Anyone notice the severe amount of hate floating round the site lately?

I have. And it sickens me. I've stayed silent in the past. I've tried to treat other users with respect. I've gegeven people the benefit of the doubt.

No more.

The amount of 'hate' spots, anti-fan spots, picks insulting other users- people, need I remind u that this 'Fan'pop. Look it up in the dictionary. F-A-N. u see the word 'anti' of 'hate' anywhere? I hate Smurfs, do u see me making an Anti-Smurf spot?

It has recently tried my patience to the limit....

I joined the ranks back in April. I was just a kid then. A noob, is what some would say. Everything was calm at first but after a few months it got rough. When I joined, we had videos, forums, comments, images, links, and soapboxes. Nothing too fancy. But once the picks came in, it was hell. Users swooped in left and right making picks that were random and completely off topic. I didn't know what to do. It was happening so fast. I got scared so I ran. I was a nobody so no one noticed when I left. I started training so that I could come back and I would be ready.

A few weeks later I was back....

Many of my soapboxes focus on me, myself and I. Some of u may not enjoy it. Others may find it repetitive. To you, I say, P*** Off. Its cheaper than therapy.

Todays Soapbox contains a little life story:

Be careful of the way u treat others- it could be harmful.

Let me elaborate...

I work as a volunteer youth leader in a small community. We meet every 2nd Friday in a local GAA (Gaelic Athletics Association)hall. The club runs for any 12-18 jaar olds attending secondary school that are living in the surrounding area.

I came up through the ranks of this austere association. I started at 12 as a...

Hello, fellow Fanpop users! Today, 1st January 2021, marks the 10th anniversary of the dag I myself became a Fanpop user. And, seeing as I've stuck around after all this time, becoming a Fanpopper clearly was a decision I did not regret.

As of right now, I am currently a member of 778 Fanpop spots, have toegevoegd over 25,000 contributions across the website, voted in meer than 18,000 picks and written over 8,000 comments. Throughout my time here I have gone through my active and inactive phases (often depending on what else is going on in real life) and, every time I've come back on here after...

I realised lately I was becoming a tad too whiny for my tastes about the little things on Fanpop that bug me, maybe it's because I seemed to kom bij just in time to see Fanpop at it's most awesome, then watch it's mild de-awesoming. The site still rocks, but there are some little things being done that I'm not crazy about, so in the spirit of self improvement (or a thinly veiled excuse to complain) I'm going to get them off my chest, as well as listing the solutions to these problems that my angry brain has been suggesting.

1. People making spots for themselves.
It's one thing when a populair user...

*Mother's Day*
1) The seconde Sunday of May is Mother's Day.!

Medal whores are users that use fanpop to get medals, I do love getting medailles I have to admit although I don't have many.

I have now changed my attitude towards medals, I used to try to get them but know it is becoming less of an interest to me. This is because of medal whores, some make fake accounts, add unnecessary stuff to spots and then rate there contributions themselves. I think it is very unfair on other users and it use to really annoy me - It still does a bit.

Anyway I know this annoys other users too but just think medal whores are sad enough to make fakes just to get a red dot on...
