It's true. I was blocked. Oh no! It's the end of the world! LOL, Not really. And I really don't care about being blocked, just the reasoning behind it makes me giggle.

A week ago, on March 27th I get a message in my ShoutBox reading "hey...please do not keep fanning me with the other 2 people...you wont get rates or likes"

Now, I didn't see this message until 12 hours later seeing that I'm not activly on Fubar 24/7, yes, I have a fubar tab open on my browser and am technically logged in 24/7, but I am not constatnly doing on Fubar. Even when I am 'active' it's to rate, like, and if needed shitface a small handful of people, clear out inbox messages, and go through the list of friend requests that have built up for several days.

So, again 12 hours after first message, I am totally confused, because again, I had barely been on. So I responded with "I have no idea what you're talking about...but...ok..." 

The rest of the conversation goes like this:

Him: YOU AND 2 OTHER PEOPLE FAN ME AT THE SAME TIME...

Him: TIME AND TIME AGAIN

Me: I've barely been on and probably haven't fanned anyone in months.

Him: look at my page!

Me: ...and

Him: if you havent been on..how did you fan me "AGAIN" today?

Me: if your talking about my picture being under the fans tab, that is all in Fubar's coding.<

Him: no i isnt..it doesnt show unless the person does it

Unfortuanaly at this point, I had to go more important things and didn't have time to break it down for him. Then the next day or so after, when I had noticed he came by my profile, and I was going to go to his page to unfan him, he had already blocked me. Okay, that solves that.

But yes, when you get fanned the person will show under that fan tab. However, they will only stay there until they get bumped out by other new fans or roughly 24 hours have passed since they fanned you. After that 24 hours they are knocked off. Now, if you haven't been fanned for 24 hours, the people shown under the fans tab are picture in the order of how long they have been on Fubar. So, if you have 1 new fan in that 24 hour window, they will be the first person shown, followed by the oldest member, followed by the second oldest member. Oldest being determined by when they signed up/user number. The lower the number the longer they have been here. 

So, this person was fanned and then had some 24 hour quiet times, and wasn't fanned at all. Now, guess who is his fan, and has been on Fubar a long time. Yup. *this girl* User number 1284, joined December 3rd 2005. I win.

So, in other words, if I have fanned you, and you haven't had any new fans for at least 24 hours it is very likely I am under that wonderful fan tab. Unless you have been fanned by someone with even lower user numbers, like Babyjesus, or Scrapper, or any of the other 1283 people that signed up before me. Minus any of those profiles that may have been deleted. Then there are the profiles that are still there, but they haven't been active for 5+ years, and you only joined 2 years ago, obviously they haven't fanned you, so, the number of people before me gets smaller and smaller. Babyjesus has only 46 "old" people that are his fan before me, Scrapper only 38. Some of the top lifetime members have around 5 people before me.  

And seriously. What sort of benefit would I even gain if I actually were to refan someone "over and over"? 22 points? WOOHOO! Watch out! Yeah, probably could fart on someone's page and get more points than that. Rating and likeing is so much easier than unfanning and fanning (I really hate that little drop down that pops up when you do it, why would I want to deal with it over and over again)And clearly I'm not worried about points. Leveling isn't on my priority list. Last level in January. Need 300,000,000 points to level. If I wanted to, I could have that done months ago. So yeah, there is no perk to refanning someone.

If I was blocked, I wouldn't be surprised if the two other offenders were blocked too. Now he will probably have 3 new people who are constatly "refanning" him. 

I can see the cycle now. 

Hopefully he will learn before he ends up blocking all of Fubar. Or he becomes popular enough that he is fanned regularly. 

If "it doesn't show unless the person does it" then Babyjesus and Fubar Office are constantly refanning me. Yeeeeeeah, that's not the case.
