What did Fanpop use to be like?

Yes and No.

We've gotten features and whatnot that have improved the site greatly,

Yet we've also had some newbies...who have ahem, let's say don't understand the point of Fanpop.

So, Yes Fanpop has changed for the good and for the bad, but I guess that's just how change works.

personally i think for the worse.

full of very nice ppl better then these wannabes out there no gangs jusst nice chats n everything great (i am a senior just a new acct my senior acct is zea10T36)

I'm a senior member,Yay!



Well back in the day it was still pure,minimal amount of spammers,trolls,perverts,vampires,but come to think of it,a lot of the features available now weren't here before,so it's better in a way and worse in a way.

I guess I'm a senior, I've been here for over a year.

I say it's gotten a lot worse. None of the interesting spots have activity except this one anymore, and it's full of a bunch of ignorant people who have nothing to talk about except hating, Rebecca Black, and hating Rebecca Black.

Excluding the new users, it hasn't changed much. Fanpop had it's fights, it's mean people, and stayed the same.
But website-wise, yes. There was no wall, no caps, your medals were shown above your screens, you had a 5-star rating system on pictures...

I've been here since '08, and I think the quality in people decreases. D:

Both!
Fanpopnow has these very cool new features!
But the more popular fanpop gets, the more chance of trolls coming. Then people think its okay to troll. :/

i say both because alot of people come and put more pics and other stuff but there are alot of trolls here

I've been on for a year & 4 months. That make me a senior?


I think it's changed for the better. Way back when, there was no wall. Only props. & the caps were nonexistant. Where you normally would see the person's wall, you'd see their picks. & the fans & medals were displayed diffrently. I like it better now.

I've been here 3 yrs and it's definitely gotten worse. There used to be actual rating here (instead of just "fanning") so if something was shit you could give it one star. Plus there was this thing called the "rating cup" which counted how many things you've rated. I miss both greatly. All the new fanpop features just bug me and I don't use. I couldn't care less about caps or the wall or the popout, for example.

The website has changed alot of its features, though I hate the new look of it.
Many new users have also joined, more of the annoying ones, which I highly despise some.

I've been here for three years and yes things have changed. There's more chance of interaction between people there was before, and on the one hand thats a good thing but it raises its own problems. There also more risk for trolling and spamming. I hadn't had to report anybody until just a couple months ago when the Twilight Spot got spammed. That was the first time. On the other hand I've gotten to interact with a lot of people I wouldn't have normally. In the end, its gonna be balancing act, there are gonna be people who abuse the system, but thats true where ever you go. We can't keep going "Oh, it would be so much better if we could stop people from doing." We're gonna have to step up and start doing the right thing ourselves. Which means reporting what needs to be reported and not making it worse.

It's becoming more mature as a social networking site. There are more newbies, more trolls, more respected members, more features, it's changing a lot both for the better, and for the worse, but it is all for the sake of the site itself maturing into a larger, more used, social networking site.

I've been a member of Fanpop since february 2007. (my other account was '' GaGaBoi '' and before that '' BritishPeeps '')

Fanpop was much better back then, probably because there were ALOT less users on the site so there was ALOT less Spam and general stupidity.


Now it's just out of control, with people medal whoring, trollin', trying to out-do each other via the fan count, and just generally spamming the shit outta the place. The fanpop chat is also a no-go for me as the regular users who attend that chat, are pretty pathetic and actually quite hostile.

Also, the number of members under the required age is also increasing week after week making the place even more of a riot.

I remember when this spot only had 2,000 fans, it was so much better then. Now people just continue to spam questions and clog my updates. Ugh -.-

sigh* I honestly feel drained just thinking about it. I wish fanpop wasn't as known as it is today and was still sort of like a '' secret society '' like it was back then. Umph...

it used to be black and white lol jk sorry i just could not help myself lol.
