The concept of the prop is wonderful. fanpop is a user based site and users should have the ability to reward others for their hard work. I also agree with the idea behind prop Day. It should serve as a reminder to all users to give that reward. However, the prop system has become flawed. Very flawed. I happened upon a user profil and saw several props. I looked to see when the user started Fanpopping and saw that it had only been two months. Wow! This person must have added tons of content. So I looked at the activity. No link had been added, no videos, no gambar (mind you, the profil had 5 pujian for images), no forum activity, no picks, no kuis pertanyaan and one comment. This person had a total of 19 pujian and the only activity was one comment. How could this be possible? I then looked at the individual props. Mainly they berkata welcome to Fanpop, thanks for fanning me, and the like. I’m sorry; pujian should be a reward for adding content, preferably quality content, to the site. I don’t blame the user, but I blame the Fanpoppers who give pujian without a reason. If anda want to thank someone for being a fan of yours atau giving anda a prop send that person a nice message. Look at their activity and if they have added some good content, then give them a prop for that content.
I probably should not be as frustrated as I am. After all, these people are enjoying the site and having fun. They’re not hurting me…or anyone else. It’s just the principle of the matter. The profil I mentioned as an example is not the only one like that. I have encountered many similar profiles where the users have pujian for categories in which they have added nothing to the site. I work very hard, as I’m sure most Fanpoppers do, to provide good content. I’ve been on fanpop for a tahun longer than my example. I also have 5 pujian for my images. However, as of today, I have added 175 gambar where this person hasn’t added any. Am I bitter? Maybe. I’m not asking for people to give me pujian either, I even feel guilty for receiving pujian that I don't think I deserve, (rating my content would be nice though, wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Perhaps the Fab Four could add another prop category, an “I just wanted to say thanks and brighten your day” category. Then Fanpoppers could give that prop indiscriminately. Until that time, however, I ask that Fanpoppers give pujian to users as a reward for the actual content they have added.

This doesn't apply to all of anda and i respect everyones views, however i feel that some users just moan at any little change even if its good and some users saying they preferred fanpop beta. I know that there hasn't been much change but the users against change is the reason why.
Why do some users hate change? They think its against the 'spirit' of fanpop, they're scared that it will turn fanpop into myspace; Them reasons make me laugh. One, what the hell do anda mean against the spirit! Fanpops not christmas. Two, how the hell could fanpop possible turn into myspace with all the awesome spots?
How can anda not cinta the emotes? It makes it easier to see how the user are talking, it makes the komentar lebih creative and there just fun. The speech bubble is good to, less boring then the komentar before.
I'm sure this artikel will get a bad rating, but i just needed to say this.
