Ah props. They used to be a way to acknowledge on a peer to peer level that someone has posted something good. Back in my day we used to give props if someone posted a good video, or said something intelligent but now they're thrown out like...condoms in high schools? *shrugs*

What are props?
Props are small medals that you can give to other users if you see them post something good.
eg; User_X posts a good video, User_Y gives User_X a video prop!

How can I give someone a prop?
You can give users props by going to their profile and clicking on the "Give Props" button, then type them a short message of what you appreciated and choose the correct prop type.

I see other users throwing props around, so it should be ok?
If you saw those other users jump off a cliff would you also do it...if you answer yes then the internet may not be a good place for you.

What are some bad examples of prop giving?
- User_X offers props to people that will join a club they created
- User_X offers props in a "competition"
- User_X gives props in chain letters
- User_X gives props because you're their bff



I personally think it would be great if we could get at least 30% (yes, the percentage is shockingly low of how I see props being used) of users using props correctly. If we got 50% it would be amazing and if we got 100% I think it would be a miracle. So lets just do the best we can in understanding what props are for and use them correctly.


Note: There is no "User_X" if one is ever created I appologise for tarnashing their name before it ever existed. Sorry!

Happy Birthday Fanpop!
Happy Birthday Fanpop!
Five years ago today, I was sitting in my living room with link, link, and link when together we pressed a button on a keyboard and released Fanpop to the world. We had no idea what was in store for us or for the site, but we had a dream to build something really cool and we hoped others would like it. For months and months we toiled away at our computers designing and coding what you all see today. We talked endlessly about features and ideas. Papa and I mocked them up and Cliff and Michael programmed them into reality. You grow pretty tight when you spend that many days and nights together....
