carrot whistle take #1

A letter to all my fellow fanpoppers who watch/upload video from stage6.com

I am writting this to inform the fanpop community that the video sharing site stage6.com will be shut down tomorrow. I am not writting this soapbox to recieve props...in fact I don't even expect to rate this soapbox. This is soapbox just contains information that debs and I feel everyone should know. Below follows a soapbox I postato on the Angel spot that should explain everything to everyone.

Here is the official posting from stage6.com

I'm Tom (aka Spinner), a Stage6 user and an employee of DivX, Inc., the company...

I noticed something. Yes, I know that sounds unbelievable, it scares me too.

It seems a lot of people are wondering where the seemingly random hatred of Smurfs on fanpop came from.

I know, sounds strange to me too. So I decided to investigate this mystery that has led to confusion and gnashing of teeth on Fanpop.



I did a little search, and the results were as suspected: I started it.

Yes, innocent little dazl. Didn't expect that one, did you?

See, Smurfs scare me. Always have. And no, I will not tell te why. That's a private matter between me and my shrink on Tuesdays, and my therapy...

Anyone notice the severe amount of hate floating round the site lately?

I have. And it sickens me. I've stayed silent in the past. I've tried to treat other users with respect. I've dato people the benefit of the doubt.

No more.

The amount of 'hate' spots, anti-fan spots, picks insulting other users- people, need I remind te that this 'Fan'pop. Look it up in the dictionary. F-A-N. te see the word 'anti' o 'hate' anywhere? I hate Smurfs, do te see me making an Anti-Smurf spot?

It has recently tried my patience to the limit....

I joined the ranks back in April. I was just a kid then. A noob, is what some would say. Everything was calm at first but after a few months it got rough. When I joined, we had videos, forums, comments, images, links, and soapboxes. Nothing too fancy. But once the picks came in, it was hell. Users swooped in left and right making picks that were random and completely off topic. I didn't know what to do. It was happening so fast. I got scared so I ran. I was a nobody so no one noticed when I left. I started training so that I could come back and I would be ready.

A few weeks later I was back....

Many of my soapboxes focus on me, myself and I. Some of te may not enjoy it. Others may find it repetitive. To you, I say, P*** Off. Its cheaper than therapy.

Todays Soapbox contains a little life story:

Be careful of the way te treat others- it could be harmful.

Let me elaborate...

I work as a volunteer youth leader in a small community. We meet every 2nd Friday in a local GAA (Gaelic Athletics Association)hall. The club runs for any 12-18 anno olds attending secondary school that are living in the surrounding area.

I came up through the ranks of this austere association. I started at 12 as a...

Tonight a pick was postato that started out as a argument but within the ora it had turned in to a brilliant and hilarious conversation between 6 o so random fan poppers
We talked of pizza and meeting up and how life on fanpop could be più dramatic than any TV show, in fact, I do believe it was the most random conversation ever and even has a equally random pick created about it da miss cinders

where the conversation carried on about where to hold this fanpop meeting where we all eat pizza and some of nosemuffin’s muffins.
Sadly we had to turn the conversation to the above pick and other...
