Why is everyone creating spots about themselves? Is that the intended purpose of Fanpop?

I think tu are totally right. I dicho the exact same thing on a pick in this spot recently, and lots of other people have noticed it and are annoyed por it too.

I am under the impression that fanpop is about sharing your amor of something like a movie, tv show, celebrity, band, comida o lifestyle etc. I definitely do not think it is a place for "profile" type spots where people just talk about themselves. There are a BILLION other places where tu can create a perfil o blog, so it sucks that people are trying to turn this place into those other generic places. I joined fanpop because it WASN'T one of those sites!

I saw someone who has a dedicated fan medal in a spot dedicated to herself. Its great that she is so into herself that she gets a medal, but it just seems so unnecessary to me.

I just want to say something about Wile Quixote's site. He didnt make it himself. Somebody else got together with some other peoeple and did, and he doesnt really like it as much as he may goof around! HE looks like he's having fun and all but I know him because I am related to him, and he protested really hard against it, becasue he dicho it was embarrasing having people thank him like that.
He does a lot of things for a lot of people with out anyone knowing por not putting respuestas up on these things. he would rather play the fool on these spots o threadsand send them an e- mail with his view opinion, o whatever kinds of help he can offer.And people like that of him and one person started it and others jumped in, and finally cammie did also..and i know he isnt happy that she did.I basically want to just defend him, because he don't see himself as no celebrity
and nobody special. I know he likes to kid around big time all the time! but if tu knew him in our inicial town and the people he works with tu would understand why sometimes thats a necessary requirement. I hope I explained and got off my chest what I wanted to in the right way.
Thanks for listening.

I have a Spot name Okami Amaterasu, but its not named after me its not even about me! tu see I based my name on a game character, but I do find it annoying.

You`re absolutely right. I`ve always thought the people who do that are just plain stupid and unaware of fanpop`s original purpose. I`m not sure it`s against fanpop rules though. But if it is i`m actually pretty surprised the fanpop crew lets these members get away with it.

That's right. Members already have profiles where people can be fans of, I think making spots about yourself makes tu feel really full of yourself.

ya

well some people have alot of fans and sometimes other people make it
