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 il y a 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 suivant to where the hommages are.
Yes of course I made an image for toi =) If I present an idea I do it properly.


toi wouldn't have to pay real money to get popcoins, the idea is the following:
Every jour toi get on fanpop toi can click a particular button that says "Get 1 popcoin" and it gives toi 1 popcoin.
Everyone can only get 1 popcoin per day, so if toi get your daily popcoin everyday, you'll have 200 popcoins after 200 days.
If toi forget to get your daily popcoin, toi can NOT get 2 popcoins the suivant day, toi only get one per jour and if toi don't come on and pick it up, bad luck :p
Jesus, I l’amour 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 toi don't have to be a fortuneteller to know what would happen.
Can toi plz send me 20 popcoins??ß I'll fan you!!!!!111
And of course users would create multiple accounts to get plus 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 nom d’utilisateur from time to time)

A new nom d’utilisateur costs 160 popcoins for example. If toi pick up your popcoin every jour and never forget, it will still take toi 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 plus unnecessary, I call it the additional fun.
Older users will probably shake their heads, but since there are many kiddos on fanpop ou 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, toi don't.
toi 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 ou a good movie though :pp)

The thought is that toi have a fanpop virtual item boutique which lists items toi 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.

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

Another picture for your enjoyment:


Yeah, that was my idea #401.
I know a lot of toi don't like change, please ours 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 =)
