I have an honest question for the fanpop community and I am sure many people will be terribly upset by this article so I would like to throw a caveat out here right now.
If you get offended easily it is perhaps best to pass up this article.
I have been a fanpop user sine June 2008. I am a bit older and remember the old days of Nickelodeon. While searching that same subject I came upon this site. I checked around and have ended up joining over a hundred spots. While doing so a question has come up. Why do we need several spots to cover one topic? So I wish to explore this inquiry in a short essay.
I have a few possible reasons that my exhausted mind can come up with.
1. The current spot has died due to inactivity. If this is the case maybe it's best to attempt to revive it although I admit in this case it is the least abhorrant reason for starting a new spot. Sometimes it is neccessary to purge the old and refresh with the new. Still, I can't imagine it wouldn't be worth at least tossing an attempt at revival.

Um, ok so maybe these features aren't THAT secret...

There are a lot of features on Fanpop. Some are well known and others are less well known (there are also a ton of others we *want* to do, but that's for another conversation). Today I thought I would highlight a few of the less-well-known features for you.
Why? Because, dammit, we spent time on these features! Sure picks and images might be sexier, but these are the runts of the proverbial Fanpop-litter and they need some time in the spotlight too.
(side note: if you already know about these, then consider yourself a very knowledgeable Fanpopper. But if you don't...well, here's hoping you learn something new today...)
Feature 1: Invite a Friend
This one is new, but it's important. A lot of folks have asked us for this and we finally have launched a version of it that makes it really easy to invite your friends, family and acquaintances to Fanpop.
What does it do? Fanpoppers who use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or AOL Mail can easily and quickly import their contact list and send out a Fanpop invitation to all of their buddies. When those friends join, they will be added as fans (and we all want...

okay straight down to buisness, frankly I dislike picks saying "will you join this spot" or messages from people advertising sites and spots. If people have a real interest in the spot they will find it themselves, same goes for websites but i understand that there's no point to a spot if your the only member and you have no one to talk about your passion with and since we're all one big fanpop family the more of us the merrier a spot generally is, so rather than whining about it i have decided to offer up some solutions. Although the annoying person with in me still feels the need to put in some 'don't' but i promise not to go on too long :D I will try and say what i do want to see and will give props if i see people actually taking this advice on board
firstly before i start, the big no, no, please don't send people messages advertising spots and sites, it’s annoying and I’m sure everyone wants a spam free fanpop
links
The most obvious way to advertise a spot or website is to put some links up, i think three is the most can you can put up of the same link (rightly so) so use them wisely, the best way to do this is not to...
