こんにちは guys i couldn't really find a link または anything about the ファンポップ chat, so this is basically my guide about the functions, a bit about etiquette and a few tips thrown in here and there. I have also researched a 一覧 of all the meebo emotions and all the different keyboard shortcuts for the users that where asking, hopefully some of あなた will find it useful. あなた don't need to check everything out, although it appears lengthier than it is, everything is, as always set in to subheadings for those of あなた who like to scan 記事 :D, enjoy.
The rooms
The rooms are ran によって a company called meebo and we now have quite a few of them. There is of course the main ファンポップ room which can be accessed from the homepage on the right just above the クイズ または from this link
link
They're are a few other rooms and i believe there have been requests for more, these rooms below can all be accessed によって the リンク below または from the spot ホーム page, again on the right above the クイズ 質問 and forums. If あなた open a chat from a ホーム page rather than the link, it will open in it's own seperate box instead of tab または new window. The other rooms are;

The Functions
The chat is nice and simple and fairly easy to use , so this may seem slightly patronising to some people but i have been asked a couple of things before and in doing research i have also found a couple of things out myself, so i thought i would write all of the functions and my findings down.
The Colors-The user names in the chat are several different colors, there seems to be no meaning to this and are completley random. あなた can change your color if あなた really wish to do so によって signing in and out. あなた can sign in and out によって either simply refreshing the page または によって clicking the small green button in the 上, ページのトップへ right corner.
Warns-You can warn someone によって hovering over their username. Warns are designed to literally warn a user when they are behaving badly e.g. spamming, abusive language. ファンポップ was told that if a user was warned over a certain amount of times they would be "muted" aka they would not be allowed to type anymore in the chat. There are a couple of users though who have been warned so many times, one user over 50 times! so if あなた get warned for nothing (yes there are some out there immature enough to do that for fun) don't worry about it. If あなた do get warned though it's always worth 読書 your last couple of messages to see if あなた could have been doing something to annoy または upset a fellow user. Warns are completely anonymous, even if あなた use the warn button in a private message it will appear in the main chat not the PM.
PMs-Again to personally message someone あなた can hover over their username. Only the two of あなた can see that conversation and あなた can not invite other users. あなた can warn and block someone directly from the PM box. As 発言しました above any warns done via the PM box will appear in the main chat. If あなた block someone and then send them a private message it automatically unblocks them. Anything written in private message will not be censored.
Blocking-Again to block someone あなた hover over their profile. When あなた block someone あなた can no longer see anything they write in chat neither will あなた see anything they message to you, if あなた unblock them the messages will NOT reappear. あなた can unblock them the exact same way, messaging someone will also unblock them. When あなた have been blocked your self あなた will not know, it will be completley unknown to other users also. A user will stay blocked even if あなた sign off and then back on again.
Censoring-Meebo chat rooms have fairly strict censors and a lot of stuff can set them off, just for reference here's a couple of words あなた might not expect to be censored
-Homo("Homosexual" will appear as "****sexual")
-queer
-penis and vagina
-niga (so if あなた write "alyson hanigan" it appears as "alyson ha****n")
-porn
-sh it (yes even if あなた make a 宇宙 in the middle it will 星, つ星 it out e.g. "finish it" will appear as "fini****")
and oh yes "dick バン dyke" will appear as "**** バン ****"
These are just stupid stuff but obviously あなた can get around these によって typing with spaces inbetween letters e.g. say あなた wished to talk about "q u e e r as folk" あなた would have to talk like that so people can see what あなた talking about.
When あなた type a message あなた will be able to see what あなた have written but others it will appear starred, except for in private messages where everything is uncensored.
A Couple of Little Extras
The chat does have sound, the on/off button can be seen in the bottom left. When someone types on the main chat it will make a small click, when someone PMs あなた it will make a bleep noise. I find this useful if あなた enter the chat and are the only user in the chat, あなた can then turn the sound so when someone else comes in あなた will hear them and not miss them. It is also useful if your PMing もっと見る than one user.
あなた can access a fanpopper's プロフィール again によって hovering over their name
When あなた first enter the chat あなた can read about half a page of conversation to catch up with what has been said
There is a small smiley face to the right of your message box, this allows あなた to add certain smilies to your message. For a full 一覧 see below.
My Opinion on Etiquette
These are just a couple of etiquette suggestions, from my own opinion and from what i have gathered from others, they are in no way rules just something to consider.
Spamming-Spam can be anything from repeating the same comment, sending the same link over and over または simply just 書く gibberish. It is annoying and unnecessary just like any kind of spam and may be a reason for warnings または being blocked. If someone excessively does this after being warned and informed i suggest あなた レポート them via their profile.
Chat speak-Although i understand fully this is a chat room, ファンポップ still has many users who's first language is not english and it will be hard enough for some of them to follow the speed of the chatroom without the difficulties of chat speak as well so please try and avoid it. Though I'm sure everyone understands that typing quickly often leads to mistakes....I, myself will probably make loads in this proof read article...my apologies for any :S
Specific Rooms-There have been specific chat rooms created so people can talk about specific topics with out annoying other chatters, these are mentioned above. If there is not a specific chat room for your interest and there is only one person in the room あなた wish to talk about this topic to, あなた can always send them a private message. If the room is pretty much スプリット, 分割 then i suggest asking the F4 for another specific chat room and in the mean while trying to find a empty chat room. There is normally one somewhere and i see no harm in using it untill もっと見る ファン enter.
Warns-Warning someone for no reason is not clever and as i stated above seems to result in nothing. Do not do this it's annoying to other chatters and it's frankly completely pointless. Warnings are reserved to 表示する people they are not behaving properly in the chat. If あなた really have a problem with someone about something like spamming the chat, i suggest あなた block them and レポート them on their プロフィール and add some notes so the ファンポップ team know why.
emotions/emotes/smilies-Emotes または emotions または smilies, what ever あなた want to call them can be fun and a good way to communicate something quickly または most importantly to express あなた tone, something not done easily through chat. However although i realise finding new emotes is exciting for some of you, it does become very spam like and annoying if あなた test them all out repeatably.
Full 一覧 of emotions/emotes/smilies
Below is a full 一覧 of meebo smilies and all the shortcuts to them. I would have 投稿されました this as a link but i couldn't find a full 一覧 where all of them worked correctly, so によって combining different lists and sources and testing shortcuts によって messaging myself (oh yes I'm crazy) I have managed to put this together.
Oh I also couldn't find 画像 for them all so some are my makeshift paint stuff so my apologies for the weird looking ones, they do look better on chat, I assure you.
The Emotes Box
These are the emotes that あなた can find in the box to the right of the message box, as mentioned above. Although i realize あなた can already use all of these I thought it would be useful to add the other shortcuts for them as some are easier to type than または others または than clicking on the box.

I would just like to say special thanks to gerley123, DarkSarcasm, pollyloveshouse and spotty_vision21 for helping me test a couple of things in the chat room.
Also thanks to meebo, wikipedia and computer-erase for some of the information in this 記事 as well as a quick mention to David Vignoni who designed and created all the emotions shown above.
If anyone knows of any other または new spot specific chat rooms, emotes または features または is just has a 質問 または is still confused によって something could あなた please コメント as i would like to keep this as updated and informative as possible, thankyou :D
