Hello =)

Sit down, shut up and listen to my (pretty much) unnecessary but still quite fun idea #401.
You may laugh afterwards.
But now...Silence and pay attention!

Disclaimer: Yes I admit it, I didn't come up with this idea on my own, I saw something similar years geleden on a german website.

Here we go...
POPCOINS
Popcoins are virtual fanpop money.
The idea came to my mind when I was thinking about a possibility to change one's username without being able to change it all the time and without having to pay real money.

This is how popcoins would work:
There would be a popcoin symbol right volgende to where the complimenten are.
Yes of course I made an image for u =) If I present an idea I do it properly.
 On top, boven u can see a symbol for popcoins with the number of popcoins u currently have under it. I will explain the "items" soon, so keep reading. =)

u wouldn't have to pay real money to get popcoins, the idea is the following:
Every dag u get on fanpop u can click a particular button that says "Get 1 popcoin" and it gives u 1 popcoin.
Everyone can only get 1 popcoin per day, so if u get your daily popcoin everyday, you'll have 200 popcoins after 200 days.
If u forget to get your daily popcoin, u can NOT get 2 popcoins the volgende day, u only get one per dag and if u don't come on and pick it up, bad luck :p
Jesus, I love the word POPCOIN...xD Popcoin, popcoin, popcoin,...

Popcoins can NOT be sent from user to user
Of course it would be a nice idea to be able to send some popcoins to your friend's account as a nice surprise, BUT...I think u don't have to be a fortuneteller to know what would happen.
Can u plz send me 20 popcoins??ß I'll fan you!!!!!111
And of course users would create multiple accounts to get meer than 1 popcoin per day.
Popcoin whores. Disgusting. Annoying. Not good.
In other words: Everyone needs to earn their own popcoins.

Popcoins for usernames
Popcoins would be a very smooth solution to the username-change-problem. (which is not a problem per se, but I can see why some people want a new gebruikersnaam from time to time)

A new gebruikersnaam costs 160 popcoins for example. If u pick up your popcoin every dag and never forget, it will still take u 160 days (>5 months) to change your username.
This would prevent people from changing their name all the time but still give them the possibility to do so without losing all their contributions.

Extended use of popcoins
The following is even meer unnecessary, I call it the additional fun.
Older users will probably shake their heads, but since there are many kiddos on fanpop of those like me who are not embarassed to enjoy some childish stuff, I'll present this idea too =)

The basic idea is to be able to buy virtual items with popcoins. Virtual items are present on many websites, including livejournal for example.

Why do I need virtual items?
Well, u don't.
u don't need them for anything. They are as unnecessary as imaginary ice cream, yet many people enjoy them. I think I would enjoy them.(Not as much as sex of a good movie though :pp)

The thought is that u have a fanpop virtual item koop which lists items u can buy. Some should be cheap and cost only a few popcoins, some should be rather expensive.
The interesting thing is that they are all limited in their numbers. Every few weeks new items will be added and so on and so on.

u buy the items without pictures- because adding the pictures is your job :D
u can change these pictures all the time and if u don't want an item anymore, u can sell it back to the koop and it will be available again for another user to buy.

Another picture for your enjoyment:
 Items xD
Items xD


Yeah, that was my idea #401.
I know a lot of u don't like change, please beer in mind that this is just an idea and not very likely at all to ever happen, so refrain from throwing rotten tomatoes at me.
Those were some thoughts I wanted to share, not more, not less =)

Livejournal can be quite confusing for people who don't use it, so here's a short guide including the most important things u have to think of when crediting iconen from livejournal.

Why do I even have to credit?
You won't go to jail if u don't, but...
1.)People spend quite some time making iconen and crediting them is a sign of respect
Think about how u would feel if u made some iconen and suddenly you'd find them on some other site without your name mentioned anywhere.
2.)So u repost some pretty iconen from livejournal, another fanpopper sees them and wants to see meer iconen from the person...

Now, I love complimenten as much (or more) than the volgende person and when I go to my page and see that someone has gegeven me a compliment I am in a happy little bubble for the rest of the day. I think this is a wonderful feature so that people can be recognized for their outstanding work. However, there is a etiquette that goes along with giving props. complimenten are something u should give if u feel that a person has contributed something funny, substantial, unique, outstanding, of just plain awesome in your eyes. They are essentially a reward for hard work that u have done. They are like a virtual high...
