fanpop Article: What happened to the Meebo bar

posted by rileyferguson

Today on June 6th, The Meebo bar was not working. Many fan could not log on and all of them thought that it was a glitch o a fail. But then, according to snakemanfan, Google shut down Meebo permanently to work on Google+. It is totally damn stupid. I know that many people use the meebo bar in order for chatting on fanpop and other stuff, But this is just sad. Google want to dominate the whole internet. Just because Google+ is being updated just does not mean that te have to shut down the Meebo bar permanently. So today, We have to say our Final Words to the Meebo bar as it shuts down forever.

This will be a really sad thing for users who have used the Meebo Bar. I really do not know if they will replace it o bring it back, But for now, Meebo is gone, Forever. :( :( :(

-TheGreatWhite- [b]Would have atleast been nice if we would have gotten SOME warning![/b] - some alert among the many Fanpop Ads or SOMETHING?! Would have been NICE. Some of us were in the middle of things I am sure. Meebo was not just for live chat, it was for updates. I could do without all the sensitive ads and bttns. Fanpop Games was a trial run on the Meeb too. I rather liked live updates Meebo offered. Some notice though on stuff wud be good if possible!

xayeishax [i]Arrgghhhh this is not FAIR!!! I loved meebo, no really i did!! Why couldnt they give us a warning?!?! :'(([/i]

rileyferguson They sadly didn't. The whole thing can be seen on Meebo's website

swfew it was soo nice to use it............ without it fanpop is sooooo boring....

LOLerz25 Are they really still trying to make Google+ happen tho? smh

Dewsparkle NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

pumpkinqueen This sucks. T.T

rileyferguson Yup, Everybody knows it does <__>

Zelda20129 This is terrible and Google+ sucks....

Reema11 [i]How do you know about this ? well it has happened before also but it doesnt mean it's gonna stay forever..[/i]

rileyferguson @Zelda20129: I agree @Reema11: Some fanpopper told me that he was looking how to get Meebo up on the iPad when he came across it

navexelac Well dang.I leave here for about a year and this is what happens?I mean i was hoping to chat with all my friends and now I have to tell them to add my Skype if they which to chat more with me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL1O6VI3aBY GroverKent is right...Google is like the Hitler of the internet. >.>

rileyferguson I agree with you. Fanpop really sucks now

zanesaaomgfan It's not just Fanpop either. On Wattpad, meebo chat was how I talked to my fans. Now, how can I talk to them and instantly respond? :/

rileyferguson I could also use Meebo on Wikia sites

Faithgurl Some people thought it was "annoying" apparently, but...I don't get it. How was it annoying?!

MidNightX_X I've been a fanpop user for over 3 years now and i admit Meebo had its glitches from time to time but this is just wrong... i have a lot of friends that i chat with on this site and its now really annoying to be constantly messaging them to be able to chat instead of just chatting. will they at least replace it? why didnt fanpop think ahead of this?

darange her this link shows you what happened to Meebo, its not Fanpop being mean i promise https://www.meebo.com/

Iam567 Noo..Fanpop sholud add another chat bar..instead of meebo

fanpop User's Guide: Reporting

posted by harold

This part of my user's guide covers the reporting mechanism and how to use it to maintain good content on the site. It was last updated on 25 December 2009.

As te continue to use Fanpop, te will come across content that is not what it should be in some way. Since fanpop is largely only as good as the content it contains, it is important to address these issues for the good of the site and the fanpop community.

Now, most of the content that "is not what it should be" is likely just content that te don't like, and such content should be rated appropriately (see the link). But, rarely, there...
