Today marks our 1-year anniversary of launching the 팬팝 public beta! That's right folks, it was one 년 이전 today that we pressed the button and unveiled 팬팝 to the world wide web. And since then, we've had millions and millions of people come to the site. It's been great because we've gotten to know so many of 당신 through the community. Whether it be in a fun 포럼 game like A-Z in 히어로즈 또는 a heat Picks 토론 about vanilla vs. chocolate, we've really bonded with our users over the past year.
The site has grown and changed so much in the past year. When we launched our spots we just had links, 포럼 and headlines. Now 팬 can write soapbox articles, 업로드 비디오 and embed from almost any video site with thumbnails, create image galleries for icons, 팬 art, 사진 and wallpapers, and they can even create interactive 투표 that we like to call Picks. We had a facelift back in March with a wider layout and 더 많이 colors. And to help pat all of 당신 on the back and let 당신 encourage one another, we rolled out 팬 props. We also created a bunch of tools to help 당신 use 팬팝 and spread the word like the "Invite a Friend" feature, Picks widget to embed on your MySpace, Xanga, 또는 wherever, and the bookmarklet so 당신 can easily bookmark sites and 비디오 to your spots. It's been a long and crazy 년 and I want to thank Papa, Michael and Cliff for putting so much of themselves into making all of this happen.
We've really been encouraged 의해 all of your messages and 코멘트 to the team. One of the biggest reasons we keep chugging along and working so hard on making 팬팝 a great community site is because of your kind words. But what really bowled the team over was link soapbox 기사 titled "link". Not only was it hilarious, but it made us believe that we must be doing something right when cool folks like Amy and other users 코멘트 about how much they 사랑 the site. I sometimes go back just to read the 기사 and 코멘트 again to remind myself that 당신 all are why we get excited about doing what we do each 일 (and then I grab my box of tissues because I get so choked up!). The community keeps growing and growing each 월 and if we keep getting users as awesome as the ones we have now (adding images, 글쓰기 soapbox articles, uploading videos, giving props, starting 포럼 games, etc.), then we're in for another really great 년 of Fanpopping! Thank 당신 to all of 당신 users who make the site so darn good.

I am not here to lecture 당신 yet again on 사진 crediting. I am done with that.
I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.
당신 already know full well that taking something 당신 did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.
So.
This is my public notice that any and all 이미지 with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... 또는 how much I normally like you.
Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and 당신 still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to 팬팝 -and- notifying the owner of the image that 당신 스톨, 훔친 it.
Enough is enough.

A few 분 이전 I thought of a partial answer to the recent outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.
Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:
The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.
My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot 또는 particular piece of content has been rated low 당신 can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.
Please tell me what 당신 think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my 프렌즈 about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our 프렌즈 at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the 집 page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to 가입하기 the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.
의해 the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the 봉고차, 반 wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.
So if u like those 영화 check it out. all 당신 have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the 검색 engine" (obviously, I know)
Also this soapbox was ment for the 팬팝 spot

I invite 당신 to leave a few words, thoughts for the victims of this disaster.
Thank 당신 <3
