So last night, August the 2nd/3rd, depending on where you were, I witnessed a phenomenon I have not seen on the internet for quite some time, I've seen glimmers of it, hints and comments, but I've not had it so blatantly thrust in my face until last night. I am, of course, talking about unity. No, not unity against a 'common enemy' or a 'troll' as many people on the internet assume is unity, but genuine "I can just click something to make someone feel a little better" kind of unity.
You see true believer, I have a faith in one thing, 'The small things count'. Whether it's just a passing 'hello', an easy to say 'I pag-ibig you' or just clicking 'Give Props' here on Fanpop, it's a simple thing that can fill someone with a little bit of happiness. Last night I made a fair few picks in link, mostly I was bored, but I also, as always, wanted to see the results, and I wasn't surprised that a large amount of fans do add things, they do rate things, but most of all, they seem to like the community.
My best friend, as you will know him, is link, I've known him for years, I can honestly say I think the only people who are closer even sa pamamagitan ng the tiniest bit is Turk and JD from link, some would say that's worrying, I call it friendship, and while I've not and don't think I could ever make mga kaibigan as good as J, there's certainly a lot of people here who remind me of him when I first spoke to him properly, kind, generous and above all, friendly.
The other araw we noticed link had finally returned after a lengthy absence, and we both laughed as if he'd finally returned from inside the Bermuda Triangle, we like him, we like the members, and it's important to both us and the community that he and everyone else sticks around.
So please remember, it doesn't take much just to say hi, it doesn't take much just to give props, it doesn't take much to rate someone's content (which will in turn get them that medal they have been after for so long), it doesn't take much to comment, to start a discussion, to get to know people, to add someone back, to just do the simple things people often forget to do, even saying thankyou or sorry when an argument arises.
Fanpop is a community, and a bloody good one at that, here's to another year, and many madami after that :)
PS: Thankyou link, link, link and link in no particular order for making Fanpop in the first place, as much as this place is about community, it wouldn't exist if you hadn't been inspired to do it and worked as hard at it as you do.

I pag-ibig fanpop! I wish I was here years earlier ! It thrills me to no end that I can talk to people from all over the world! I have met some really lovely, charming, friendly people here! I met my new husband here! We can't be any happier! A tagahanga of ours even made a club about us! (it's the Speter club!) Thanks sapherequeen! I fanned (and they fanned me back!) 2 of the fab 4, Dave and papa ! They found out about Peter and I meeting here then getting married! They were very happy and congratulated us! That was soooo cool ! Sorry I don't know the other 2 :/ walang tiyak na layunin is really fun because I can post walang tiyak na layunin images! My paborito club is 'God-the-Creator' and of course 'Speter' ~LOL~ The only thing I don't like is the childish behavior of some of the people. And the hate :P Over all, there is madami good than bad :)
Picks are a way to state your opinion, or just find out what other people think. You might post a pick to find a new icon, or other's paborito foods. I like the way you can sometimes add a choice, which makes your opinion different.
Picks may also work as a school project: Example:Question: do you have a brother/sister? Project: take a survey and see how many people have a brother or sister.
Picks are a way to state an opinion without starting an argument, or sometimes they are not to state an opinion.
Adding larawan to picks is fun,too. some larawan are goofy, others can really fit in. It is creative to add images, and some times important, such as if you ask, "who's cuter?" you'll need to put larawan on the pick.
I like picks becuase they really are a way to state your opinion. They are a reminder that everyone has an opinion.
And that is why I pag-ibig picks.
