Earth Day 2013 Cap

This was originally going to be an article on all sorts of hatred, discrimination and prejudice. But then I had something horrible happen to me online this morning, and I decided that I was going to focus on one, simple, hate.

Homophobia.

In my experience, it's absolutely horrible. So in this article, I'm going to discuss why you should put a stop to it, and just go through a couple of small anecdotes, expressing to you how hateful, horrible and mean it can be.

Anecdote One
Blind Homophobia
When I was a wee sixth grader (okay, it was only two years ago but still, I was even shorter than I am...

First and for most I intend no offense here. I suppose you can also call this article 'Why Maturity Is Important'. I don't hate or even dislike 12 and under users. So please don't get the wrong idea.

First and foremost I agree with it for the simple fact that rules are rules. There's an age limit for a reason.

And rules are usually in place for safety. In this case it isn't so much physical safety as it is mental safety. I have seen a vast array of young users who couldn't have been older than 8 post images of themselves all over. Okay, that's their choice, but it is a little dangerous. I don't...

The OFD (Official Fanpop Dictionary) was first published in 2009. The OFD is a compilation of words the etymology of which can be found in the roots of Fanpop history. There is no one author of the OFD, as it is made possible by the generous donations of several committed Fanpoppers (see dictionary below). Common usage of words in the fanpop vernacular is also added to the dictionary. If you wish to make a contribution to the OFD, by all means add your word to the list in the form of a comment.

I had the chance to get an interview with link from the F4. I hope you'll enjoy reading his answers to the questions I asked him as much as I did!
Here goes a big THANKS! to him, link, link and link for interacting so much with us users and making fanpop a great site!

As a member of the F4 - how many messages per day do you get from fanpop users?
papa:It varies. Some days there's a lot of messages, some days not so much. But a dozen or more a day isn't unusual. The most common request I get is to change a club icon/banner/motto. I'm always happy to do this (and we definitely need a better way...

This article attempts to distinguish what sorts of questions should be posted with the different "question" features on Fanpop, and was last edited on 31 March 2009.

Now that Fanpop has added another "Ooh! Ooh! I get to ask a question!" feature, the question "What is the difference between all these features?" is even more appropriate than ever before. One can ask a question in a Forum, in a Quiz, in a Pick, or in an Answer (Request). Which one should be used for a given question?

In summary
To be brief:

* A club's Forum is the best place to ask a question that has a single correct answer which...
