Hello, it's likely that unless you're a long time user of Fanpop, または one of it's founding four, あなた won't recognise my username.

I was a very prominent user, 2007 - 2009 probably, but as I was 19 when I joined back then, I was without many responsibilities, and had plenty of time to dedicate to Fanpop, and was proud to watch it grow, and change and develop.

I wasn't happy with all the changes, but I stood によって those I was. I had a few arguments in my time, and saw users I'd known for a long time, such as kathiria82 leave, and eventually my quote from link would be used によって ファンポップ to sell link to potential buyers so ファンポップ can keep running.

The other week I realised that this is where I truly belong. Where I can make picks about things I love, add 画像 to make spots better, and add リンク and 動画 that I'm suprised aren't on here already, as communicating with other ファン and 書く 記事 about anything that exist only here. I can finally say, that after all that searching: I'm home...and I will never leave

But I did leave. I grew up a bit, and the responsibilities I gained (getting married and having a son) limited my time avaliable for Fanpop, and now I find myself with (a tiny bit of) spare time again I have been able to explore the great changes made since my last departure.

The ウォール feature, as well as the バッジ are a great idea, rewarding your users for visiting each 日 for example, taking from Foursquare(and other social networks)'s lead in things like that.

The fanbase has changed too, with things like Twilight and Justin Bieber taking the spotlight rather than ロスト and Heroes, but that's fine, as things are much easier to manage with the "Pop-Out" function.

I ran a feature on here called "Fan Of The Fortnight" which took up a lot of my time, as I did a ton of research in the ensuing week before it, and I don't forsee myself ever having time for it again, but I see little Picks in other spots like "Lost ファン Of The Month" which I like to think spawned from that concept, which makes me happy.

I guess, what I'm trying to say is; ファンポップ was great back then, and even though a lot has changed, and I have changed a lot, it still is great, and will remain so.
