How should I react to getting a fan?

thats up to 당신 really..
now that we have a 벽 i think its okay to say "thanks for being a fan" but i PERSONALLY feel thats a bit forced and meaningless. i see people saying "thx 4 the add" and that takes less than 2 초 to type and i dont feel it really says anything. its different for people 당신 have interacted with- maybe they left a nice 코멘트 on your submission 또는 sent 당신 a prop!? then i think its nice to say something on their wall.
NEVER give props for being a fan..grrrrr it makes props meaningless.

as for fanning them back- some people automatically 팬 당신 back, some dont, some just 팬 in hopes of 당신 adding them back because they feel a high fancount means something. let me tell 당신 it doesnt!
I am INCREDIBLY AWESOME....SUPER MEGA AWESOME and yet i dont have a lot of 팬 (or medals for that matter...but still *points at self* AWESOME)

so it is your choice really. personally i will add people who i have interacted with 또는 who like a lot of the same stuff i do.
if they type lyk dis 4 sho i wont add them- no matter how nice they seem. if i see they are a member of only twilight, bieber, 랜덤 spot and other stuff i dont care for, i will not add them.

당신 seem sane and are on the etiquette spot AND type well (sheesh 당신 added apostrophes and capitals!!!!! go you!!!) so i would 팬 당신 back!

당신 should also consider that if 당신 like to filter your 벽 또는 chat (is the chat still even there? its always turned off) 또는 like looking at scores on 퀴즈 the 팬 당신 see are the people "youre a 팬 of" so 당신 might want to be choosy :P
