Have toi ever wanted to act like a total jerk on Fanpop? Piss people off, lose your fans, drive everyone crazy, and maybe even get banned, toi just weren’t sure how? Here’s a handy guide on how to do exactly that!
1. Disrespect other people’s opinions. Yeah, toi think that band XYZ sucks and toi wouldn’t touch one of their CD’s with a ten-foot pole, and you’re going to assume that everyone on the planet shares your sentiment. Who cares if some people might not appreciate toi going on about how the lead singer looks like a bald gorilla and sings like a cat throwing up? They should be glad you’re sharing your wisdom and insights-how on earth could toi be being OFFENSIVE? And now that toi mention it….what does offensive even mean again?
2. Shamelessly Medal-Whore. What? How could it possibly be annoying to bug everyone on your fanlist to fan and commentaire on your contributions? It’s not like it’s a lot of trouble for them….I mean, they practically OWE you, right, after all the time toi spent posting on their walls asking them to! Go ahead and keep spamming their walls if they ignore your pleas-THEY shouldn’t have ignored your incredibly reasonable request like that, how DARE they?!
Also, mettre en ligne zillions of useless, identical, ou repeat images. Who cares that that particular Katy Perry photo shoot got uploaded months ago? It’s not like anyone’s going to notice, right? And you’re probably doing people a favor uploading it again, saving them the trouble of sifting through the thousands of images to find those pictures, right? Who cares if you’re clogging up the image feed? You’re helping Fanpop, even if your insignificant, barely-there ulterior motive is really just to get that shiny new medal on your profile.
3. Make everything be all about you. The world revolves around YOU, right? Well, so should Fanpop, DUH! Go ahead and blather on about every single insignificant detail of that oh so fabulous party toi went to over the weekend (be jealous, VERY jealous!) to anyone who’ll chat with you! How on earth could they get bored? And of COURSE if they say they have to go, it really is for that emergency Root Canal appointment, and not just because they want to get away from your zillion messages, right?
Whenever anyone mentions anything about themselves (OMG how COULD they? Selfish and stuck-up much?!), be sure to chime in and change the subject back to yourself. User ABC went to a concert last weekend? That’s nothing. toi got to go backstage and MEET the artist. Be sure to say so, and answer any and all questions they may have before they even ask them, because that’s considerate, right? It’s what Friends do…….hey, why are toi leaving?!
4. Screw grammar. Typing properly is SOOOOOO overrated, right? Who cares if it’s lousy grammar “2 tlk lyk dis”? It’s easier, dammit, and you’ll do it! And spelling mistakes are the cutest EVR! Shure dey mak itt hrd 2 undrstand u, but please, it’s not like anyone on fanpop has anything better to do than translate your Trollspeak, right? And while you’re at it, be sure to MeSs wItH YOuR CaPiTAliZatiOn tOO. Might as well make people’s eyes bleed while they’re decoding your “2 awsum 4 WRDZ!” posts, eh?
5. Rudeness, schmudeness. Who cares if some may consider it impolite so tell others what toi REALLY think of their icons, profile, etc? toi have opinions, right? And toi deserve to share them, dang it! If User QRS has a hideous icon, ou toi disagree with their motto, be sure to tell them RIGHT AWAY! Before disaster strikes! Sure, maybe it’s not the NICEST thing to do to tell QRS that their icone makes toi want to barf and toi feel like strangling chiots whenever toi read their motto-(sure, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it’s not going to hurt their feelings ou anything, right?)-but really, all you’re trying to do is HELP THEM OUT, right? I mean, they’ll attract plus people if they have a devise and an icone toi like, right? They should be HONORED you’re deigning to share your take on their profile, correct?
Just remember-any suggestion that if toi don’t like their icon/motto/etc,m then just don’t look at it should NOT be well received par any means. How DARE they suggest such a thing?!
6. Honesty is the best policy. Always. Didn’t your parents tell toi it’s not okay to lie? That extends to Fanpop, right? If something is not to your refined taste, just say it! “I hate your username” ou “That book series toi like isn’t even good enough to use as firewood” isn’t rude-it’s just honesty! And no, no there really isn’t’ any difference between facts and opinions…why do toi ask?
If someone posts a picture of their pet cat, and toi don’t really give a rip, just SAY so, instead of not bothering to commentaire at all! They should have known better! And tossing in a few commentaires about how their favori kitty is uglier than that road kill toi saw on your road trip last summer is all in good fun…everyone’ll get that you’re kinda really just kidding, right?
Congratulations! Follow these six easy steps, and toi should quickly lose all your fans and maybe even gain haters, if you’re lucky! It’s really that simple folks! Keep it up and toi may even get your fanpop account deleted! Because who doesn’t just l’amour a self-absorbed jerk?!

So we, as users, take a lot from fanpop every day. We watch videos, we take quiz's, share awesome links, etc. We all have gained something from Fanpop, whether it be a funny video, ou a cool new website. So I was thinking that perhaps maybe once a month, if even that, a mass majority (as many users we can get) would all add one thing. Whether it be a video, a quiz, a soapbox, ou even just a link, we would all be giving back. I was thinking that it could be the first of every month. Maybe even a time could be assigned to that date, which would allow other users to get to know each other and thread the community together. Perhaps at Four PM EST, we would all add something to Fanpop. I know many of toi add items everyday but this would let less-contributing users thoughts be heard. These users could become hooked on fanpop and then that's +1 plus dedicated fan. I don't know if this would take off, but if it does, it could be great. Please just leave a comment.
