The concept of the apoyo 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 apoyo Day. It should serve as a reminder to all users to give that reward. However, the apoyo system has become flawed. Very flawed. I happened upon a user perfil 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 enlaces had been added, no videos, no imágenes (mind you, the perfil had 5 apoyar for images), no foros activity, no picks, no examen preguntas and one comment. This person had a total of 19 apoyar and the only activity was one comment. How could this be possible? I then looked at the individual props. Mainly they dicho welcome to Fanpop, thanks for fanning me, and the like. I’m sorry; apoyar 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 apoyar without a reason. If tu want to thank someone for being a fan of yours o giving tu a apoyo send that person a nice message. Look at their activity and if they have added some good content, then give them a apoyo 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 perfil I mentioned as an example is not the only one like that. I have encountered many similar profiles where the users have apoyar 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 año longer than my example. I also have 5 apoyar for my images. However, as of today, I have added 175 imágenes where this person hasn’t added any. Am I bitter? Maybe. I’m not asking for people to give me apoyar either, I even feel guilty for receiving apoyar 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 apoyo category, an “I just wanted to say thanks and brighten your day” category. Then Fanpoppers could give that apoyo indiscriminately. Until that time, however, I ask that Fanpoppers give apoyar to users as a reward for the actual content they have added.

Let me tell tu how I first discovered fanpop. (Just bored so thought I'd write this)
I was on the net looking for pictures. I then came across a site (Which is this one really) and clicked the link.
I never knew what this site was o what and thought it was one of those many sites like twitter and Facebook.
Browsing some más I accidentally landed on someone's perfil page and scrolling down say there were pic's looking like cubes. On parte superior, arriba there were titled 'Clubs'.
I noticed a familiar icono of my favourite actor and clicked on it.
It was cool, it was like a website just full of that actors info.
I noticed they had cuestionarios and took part.
Than I released that tu had to sign up to record what tu got right/wrong etc.
Thats when I decided to log on and realised I was SOOO ADDICTED TO IT!
(Hey I don't even spend so0 much time like this on Facebook!)
So that was how I discovered Fanpop-not to dramatic o interesting, but i found my rabbit hole.
Whats yours?

Most of tu probably don't care because tu have a PC o don't subir imágenes that much.
It didn't really get on my nerves before, but now I want to subir heroes screencaps to the heroes spot which I have a die-hard medal in and I know PC users can subir much más than five imágenes at a time; especially if they have a die hard medal in the spot they want to subir in.
I know tu can open loads of tabs but then again it is más work and annoying.
It's unfair on people who like to contribute anyway, so I hope there is some change in the image uploader for mac users.
P.S. If tu joke and say I should have a PC o whatever, then very funny but no.
Fun

Phenomenon
Ten years ago, fanpop made its presence on the Internet and people joined the site one way o another. I first found out about fanpop when I did a google Image buscar on "link". That was back in May 2010, in which I signed up for the site as CHILDISHY; now I use my ReptarZolo account to match with my current DeviantArt account. All those years, fanpop became cluttered with various types of violative content, including and especially pornography. With only four admins, I don't believe fanpop will last any longer; this can be prevented if the admins promote some users, preferably those they trust, to become moderators and help clean up the site.
