How should I react to getting a fan?

thats up to آپ really..
now that we have a دیوار i think its okay to say "thanks for being a fan" but i PERSONALLY feel thats a bit forced and meaningless. i see people saying "thx 4 the add" and that takes less than 2 سیکنڈ to type and i dont feel it really says anything. its different for people آپ have interacted with- maybe they left a nice تبصرہ on your submission یا sent آپ a prop!? then i think its nice to say something on their wall.
NEVER give سہارا for being a fan..grrrrr it makes سہارا meaningless.

as for fanning them back- some people automatically پرستار آپ back, some dont, some just پرستار in hopes of آپ adding them back because they feel a high fancount means something. let me tell آپ it doesnt!
I am INCREDIBLY AWESOME....SUPER MEGA AWESOME and yet i dont have a lot of شائقین (or تمغے for that matter...but still *points at self* AWESOME)

so it is your choice really. personally i will add people who i have interacted with یا who like a lot of the same stuff i do.
if they type lyk dis 4 sho i wont add them- no matter how nice they seem. if i see they are a member of only twilight, bieber, random spot and other stuff i dont care for, i will not add them.

آپ seem sane and are on the etiquette spot AND type well (sheesh آپ added apostrophes and capitals!!!!! go you!!!) so i would پرستار آپ back!

آپ should also consider that if آپ like to filter your دیوار یا chat (is the chat still even there? its always turned off) یا like looking at scores on quizzes the شائقین آپ see are the people "youre a پرستار of" so آپ might want to be choosy :P
