I’ve read up a lot on ‘image credit’ and peoples perceptions of the right and wrong ways to credit images but personally I think some people are going about it in the wrong way. I don’t expect people to ‘like me’ for what I’m about to say and I don’t care because as I’ve always stated, fanpop is supposed to be a happy, fun place where people can make friends, share opinions, rejoindre and create spots all of which is a great way to express oneself, as well as contributing to other spots.
In my opinion fanpop can teach us to be creative, to share with others, express ourselves and so much more, however I’ve noticed that ‘to me’ the concept of image credit has been taken too far, par this I mean there is one thing to want image credit and another thing to go overboard with it,
For example: a lot of images that I’ve seen can be obtained par downloading them from most fond d’écran web sites, they are free and come with little ou no image credit and I’ve read about some people threatening to rapporter others because of lack of image credit which to me is just disgusting, threatening to rapporter people over something they may not know anything about is just wrong and if the image isn’t credited in the first place what can toi do and what about fan pick questions and pop quizzes? no one asks for an image credit on those ou for images used in articles.
I’m all for image credit and playing par the rules, but as I a dit not all images can be fully credited, maybe only as far as the web site that it came from and if this is the case then really what do toi do, except credit the image in the best way possible that’s the only right option isn’t it?
I don’t know what to make of this but some attitudes have really made me angry and it’s not a very nice example for our younger ou newer fanpop fans ou for anyone for that matter, Let’s all try to keep fanpop a ‘happy’ place.

Many of toi may not agree with me and I don't expect anyone to do so, maybe some of toi like a few spots on the one topic and some of toi don't, I like fanpop just the way it is, the plus spots, the better.
Monday: Work on the spot I've created.
Tuesday: Contribute to other spots and rejoindre new ones.
Wednesday: Check my profil and learn plus about my fans.
Thursday: Go through every video, picture, article, fond d’écran etc. and save and rate my favorites.
Friday: Find new material to add to all of my favori spots.
Saturday: Have one jour to go all around the whole of fanpop, I may not do anything but I might find something new.
Sunday: Try not to turn the computer on, who am I kidding?
And almost every jour I must remember to check my mail, it seems like a lot to do but it's fun anyway and if you're anything like me, someone who can stay on the computer for hours at a time? remember to take breaks at least every half an heure to avoid headaches. Have Fun.
