This is not a rant, but id like anyone who feels the same way as me to read it.

Im a 15 سال old theater girl. My life coulnt possibly CONTAIN مزید drama. I used to come here to escape it. not anymore.

When i first joined fanpop, i had no idea about the "community" of people on here. I had never been part of an internet community in my life, and i was absolutley blown away سے طرف کی the generosity, helpfulness, acceptance, kindness and good humor the all users seemed to eminate. I LOVED coming on because if i ever had a question, comment, فورم topic, article, pick یا anything, i knew it would be viewed with an open mind. No fights, only intelligent discussions about what really mattered, the reason we all joined these spots in the first place, that reason being THE SHOW.

and not that im not grateful for it, but its the standard ive come to expect from the house-related spots i visit every day.

I havent seen these standards in a while, to be honest.

Yes, there has been some MAJOR fighting recently. But let me just say this is NOT the fault of the newbies. And i think its wrong to blame the حالیہ atomosphere on them.

We were ALL newbies once. And if there fighting, its because there taking the example from those who are already here. Newbies coming in are setting there standards low, and frankly im really dissapointed and just generally shocked at the behavior ive seen.

If Fab has a problem with Bery, they should DISCUSS it maturley and calmley. thats why we have فورم boards.

since when did we become so savage? this is a site for everyone to share there own opinions and i think we should be able to do it without worrying about being accused of not being a "True" huddy/house fan. The self-proclaimed "superfans" who blame the newbies arent the solution to the "newbie problem". There making it worse.

In conclusion, i think everyone, even if آپ dont feel like آپ did anything, should take a good step back and just look at the تبصرے youve made یا مضامین youve written یا whatever in the past ماہ یا so and try to walk in the other persons shoes. Even if آپ think there opinion is ridiculous, آپ dont have to say it یا get mad.

Im not naming names یا talking about anyone in particular, but all i gotta say is that im really dissapointed. :( i want the old fanpop back!

HuddyBrave Once again (I am putting this on all of the posts) If I have made anyone mad I would like you to tell me so that we can get it worked out! Thanks! Thanks again for expressing your oponion in a respectful way. Love ya!

teardrop I'm with you cheery, I hardly ever post anymore, some of the so-called superfans are patronising, bossy or just plain aggressive. It's just not that fun anymore.

cheery_blossom i didnt say they were patronizing or bossy, just sometimes they get a little carried away. this article is 100 percent bash-free. just to make my intentions perfectly clear.

Beatrix8520 You did the write thing posting this article. It is always good to remember we are all here to have fun, share and discuss about what we love. I think sometimes we all let us get carried away by our enthusiasm and our opinions way too much. I myself apologize if I have ever hurt somebody's feelings even if I don't think so, but I agree with Chery_Blossom on this....we ALL should probabily be more tactuful in expressing our ideas or in criticizing something we have heard or read. It's a community, i.e. an open space to share opinions and arguing with people about your interests, but that doesn't mean we can all do it with respect and kindness. As far as the superfans are concerned, I have never met anyone acting as teardrop says, but I suppose she did...and this is a real shame for the spot...it' a shame becouse there are a lot of nice people who just want this community to work and do their best to make us have fun, looking for articles, news, trailers or just posting stupid and funny questions which makes us laugh! I think, as cheery_blossom said, we ALL should do some rethinking just in order to avoid any kind of "bad" behaviour in the future...that would be really mature....I joined fanpop just 4 monthes ago and I must say I really like this spot, actually I am fond of it! So I myself will do my best to be as respectful and caring as Cherry_Blossom was by posting this article. Thank you.
