Hello there fellow Fanpoppers. Most of wewe know me as the person who makes the shabiki Of The Fortnight maswali and from time to time, Fanpoppers will ask me maswali about in either maoni au messages. This Maswali yanayoulizwa is here to try and answer all of those questions. If wewe have any maswali to add please do so at the bottom and they shall be incorporated in to the article.
1. Who started shabiki Of The Fortnight?
link created a Pick called link back in May 2007 in the fanpop spot. link then made the first ever link. Then after a small discussion with benji and cressida I decided to do the inayofuata link with the initial idea that a different shabiki would do it each week. After that I decided to do another one when that one finished, and as cressida and benji didn't seem to mind, I just carried on and still do it to today.
2. Who decides on the people on shabiki Of The Fortnight?
It's up to me to put the first eight mashabiki on, though mashabiki may nominate one other shabiki themselves.
2a. How is that decided?
I take note of good contributions, maoni and good new mashabiki to the site and when the awali shabiki Of The Fortnight ends, I already have a few names in my head. I make sure I branch out from just my own spots, as for example, I am not a shabiki of The Office, but I'll check it every week to see highly rated contributions au good discussions. I also check Pending Spots almost daily to see if there's a shabiki that's managed to make a spot look brilliant and crammed with content already.
3. Can people add themselves to shabiki Of The Fortnight?
The short answer is Yes. The long answer is Yes, but in 2007 mashabiki were not allowed to vote for themselves. Though this rule is not enforced in the current shabiki Of The Fortnight, the hope was that it's drilled in to mashabiki enough not to do it, that it ceases anyways.
4. How do I get on to shabiki Of The Fortnight?
Simply be an excellent fan. Regularly submit content, jiunge as many spots as wewe can and participate in the fanpop community. That way wewe also become a member that other mashabiki recognise a good user as well. If you're not on there and wewe have been trying hard, keep up the standard and eventually wewe shall be noticed and be put up.
5. Does the winner of shabiki Of The Fortnight get anything?
They get recognition zaidi than anything, the pride that comes with other mashabiki having realised you're one of the great people on Fanpop.
6. How can I tell who has won shabiki Of The Fortnight without looking at the indiviual Picks?
link has stepped up to the plate with link which he keeps regularly updated, so heshima him for it!
7. When do new shabiki Of The Fortnights start?
Usually a siku au two after the old one ends, though larger gaps have been known to occur between them.
8. Which spot does shabiki Of The Fortnight get ilitumwa in?
Initially it was ilitumwa in the fanpop spot, but soon after the fanpop Users spot was created and harold made a maoni about moving it here, the inayofuata shabiki Of The Fortnight was created here.
9. Are there any other shabiki Of The Fortnight-esque events?
link happens every mwaka and compiles all of the winners of shabiki Of The Fortnight. There is also an event called link which attempts to compile all the runners-up. Unfortunately in 2007, due to a Pick choice limit, Popper Of The mwaka could not fit everyone on. From 2008 onwards, it has been possible to accomadate all mashabiki featured.
10. Has anyone ever won twice?
Yes. As of April 2008, link won the 24 October - 7 November 2007 shabiki Of The Fortnight and the 16 August - 30 August 2007 one.
11. How do I abbreviate shabiki Of The Fortnight?
That's really up to you. mashabiki recognise FOF and FOTF. I use FOTF if I do want to shorten it.
12. Can mashabiki be on FOTF twice?
mashabiki can be added kwa others as many times as they wish, but the original eight that are put up kwa me are not repeated. In the case that a user nominated shabiki wins, this shabiki is also excluded from future shabiki Of The Fortnights. This resets at the start of every year.
13. I think someone's been cheating. What do I do?
First of all, wewe should pass a message along to me about it. Include as many details as possible. Cheating in shabiki Of The Fortnight usually consists of people creating many accounts and then voting for themselves. There have been other variations, but that's the main one. I shall look in to it and then get back to you.
14. <User> is really awesome, but they've not been on shabiki Of The Fortnight. Can I nominate them?
Certainly. If wewe wish them to be on the following FOTF rather the current one, message me with the details and they'll go in to the initial eight.
