 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 mwaka zamani 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 wewe through the community. Whether it be in a fun foramu game like A-Z in Heroes au 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...

Hey everyone,

I felt like uandishi about the constant reposting of ikoni from livejournal, because I have become a very active lj user in the past months and I know of many lj people who are annoyed as hell to see their ikoni ilitumwa here.

First of all I'd like to say that I did it too. Yes, I took ikoni that were ilitumwa on livejournal and ilitumwa them here with credit.
Now wewe might say: Okay, but if people credit them, why is there a problem? It's not as if the lj people own the original pictures they icon.
This is of course true, but I think it is zaidi about respect and being polite.

To like au not to like? That is the question.

Earlier tonight, the ratings system of fanpop experienced a massive overhaul. No longer can wewe rate content on a scale of one to five (ala YouTube), but if wewe like content, wewe can "like" it (ala Facebook), au "be a fan" of it.

Dave gave a very good, logical explanation for the change to help assuage some fears and answer some questions:

"Hi Guys,

Thanks for making this pick. There are a lot of reasons we wanted to create a new system for deciding whether mashabiki like something au not. We found that most people were rating either 4 au 5 stars so we thought...

 If wewe must promote a club, try these tips.
If you must promote a club, try these tips.
Re-reading the various makala about promoting klabu on Fanpop, it occurred to me that some fairly basic ideas were missing for promoting the klabu wewe like (not just the ones wewe create, but any klabu wewe enjoy).

Many of the awali etiquette makala and foramu threads have described things to avoid in promoting a club, as well as suggestions for things to do. For once, I'm not going to rant about undesirable behavior (that's the plan, anyway), but just keep the focus on other things mashabiki can try to promote their inayopendelewa clubs.

 I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I just logged onto fanpop about a half saa zamani and discovered something extremely profane and inappropriate on the YouTube spot. Due to it's heavily pornographic material, the video was deleted shortly thanks to several reports from some handy fellow Fanpoppers.

It was imewasilishwa kwa a user of the name bon8699. I reported this user 3 times and I expect him to be banned for a long, long time.

The reason I am so annoyed that this was imewasilishwa is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where wewe can submit picha like this as much as wewe please without...

I swear to whatever higher power wewe 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 mwaka 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 wewe post content...

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

If wewe actually take that .5 of a sekunde to type the whole word people will look at your content, maoni and such a lot zaidi and with nicer comments...

I am not here to lecture wewe yet again on picha crediting. I am done with that.

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

wewe already know full well that taking something wewe 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 picha with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... au how much I normally like you.

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

Enough is enough.
 This may be the most maarufu pick EVER

Right, well the title is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean wewe 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 wewe 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 nyota article
- They may not agree au think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would wewe 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 au actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person au their actions without knowing them personally au knowing the things they are going through. wewe could not possibly say what wewe 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 maswali are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that wewe get when you've finished making your pick is there...

A few dakika zamani I thought of a partial answer to the hivi karibuni 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 au particular piece of content has been rated low wewe 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 wewe 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 Marafiki about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our Marafiki at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the nyumbani page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to jiunge the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.

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

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

Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Hello to everyone,
my name is Inès, and I'm French.

As a lot of wewe know, Paris has been attacked yesterday kwa terrorists. The tamasha hall "Le Bataclan" has been attacked during a concert.

128 dead and zaidi than 200 wounded are for now counted. This is a tragedy.

I was born and I've lived in Paris, and I often go there and to the Bataclan to attend concerts, and seeing this, is just awful. The whole country is shocked and desperate.

3 national days of mourning have been declared.

I invite wewe to leave a few words, thoughts for the victims of this disaster.

Thank wewe <3

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. wewe think they'd actually learn after the first time. wewe 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...
