'The new showcase is for your Fanpop bottlecap collection that will continue to grow with new and exciting caps based on your participation and activity across the site. We hope to have a lot of fun with this and hope all you Fanpoppers will to! Be on the lookout for more caps to come soon!' - Dave [F4]

I haven't been this excited to explore Fanpop since the quiz feature came out. So I think it's definitely doing what the F4 hoped it would :)

Seems like a cool new feature. I want to get more caps^^

I thought it was an advertisement too and thought 'oh no not more ads'. And I agree with cassie

I actually find it... juvenile. You know those sites that are designed to help kids learn? Looks like that now. I just don't think I need to be patted on the head for having a user icon or a motto.

Does anyone know if those pop-up things are able to be turned off? Will they appear every time I do something?

hey misanthrope86. we're sorry you feel that way, we're not trying to be patronizing or condescending in any way. we designed it to be a fun way to reward users for being active on the site. feel free to turn off the pop-up notifications of new caps in your profile settings with the checkbox.

^ Thank you so much for that information. It was driving me nuts!

Yeah, I know you guys only ever have good intentions with the changes you make. A lot of other people seem interested in it. Its just not for me.

I am still a little confused on what these caps are supposed to be, especially the Good Luck Charms? What are they supposed to signify? [gold coin, wish bone, etc.]

So they are just there to "look pretty" ? :/
I thought you might be able to do something with them, like...exchange them for a new username or something...

It looks pretty good! And it doesn't seem like something that people can cheat with like the medals. Plus they look cool on your profile :)

It's okay but I think it should explain how/why you got it. Some of them do, but I have a wishbone and a gold coin - what did I do to get them?!

"We can now earn something besides medals and props."
- Are they earnt though? I opened Fanpop, then opened another tab and did some other stuff, came back a while later and had one of those coin things flash up on my screen. Didn't do anything to earn it except login.

After more thought, I think the idea is fine, but the colors/size/symbols are a bit too elementary for a 13+ site.

@misanthrope

Maybe that's part of the fun. You log in and get something new. I guess it's an incentive for people to stay active, too. There's nothing wrong with props and medals, but I was excited to see something new and different.

Also, maybe the F4 will post an article about it once the whole thing is developed properly and we'll know a little more about the caps.

"the colors/size/symbols are a bit too elementary for a 13+ site."

(This may be because I'm an elementary school teacher, but-)

I think the colors are adorable. :o)

I just have one request - that I get a bottlecap for being the Voice of Reason... Or we could call it, "The Cinders Award." I could dig it.

fanfly picked I don't get it:
So...I just logged in and I've got new caps. One says 'Novice' and the caption says 'You've been a member of Fanpop for a month! You'll be a pro in no time!'
The other one says 'Learner'. Caption: 'You've been a Fanpopper for a year now! Time to ride with the big boys!'
Ummm....I've been on Fanpop since 2008.
And I confess that I bristled at being called a Novice 'Popper. :PPP

I reiterate: pointless.

But I'm glad some of you guys seem to get a kick out of these things.

harold picked Makes things more interesting:
It's a nice and natural contrast to the props and medals features; rather than something dependent on other users, these appear to be dependent on your own activity on the site. In this way, they're like "achievements" in gaming parlance: the first few are completely elementary - you show up, you get an achievement - but the later ones represent more significant effort (as well as simple time on the site - like my upcoming Grandmaster cap!). ...at least, I'm assuming that there will be later ones. I've only just seen them this afternoon.
