About the PHB
What’s popping? We’re the Poptropica Help Blog, or the PHB for short. This corner of the web was founded by Slanted Fish on July 26, 2008 and has been serving as a popular Poptropica fansite for over 15 years.
Here at the PHB, our goal is to enhance your Poptropica experience by sharing game tips, secrets, news, walkthroughs, tools, and more. You’ll also find a fun-loving community in the blog comments, our Discord chat server, DeviantArt fan art group, and more.
The PHB is proud to be an Official VIP fansite of Poptropica. Note that we are not Poptropica, but we are players (like you!) who are dedicated to serving this community. Welcome to the PHB, the top stop for all things Pop!
Meet the team
The PHB team is the crew behind the blog that brings you the latest Pop news and more. We are ordinary players, not Poptropica Creators (though we wish we were). We’re young adults and teens, and you can sometimes find us on the PHC, the PHB’s Discord chat server. Thanks for popping by! 🩵
Slanted Fish
Hey, I’m Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). The name is inspired by my Chinese name, perpetually slanted posture, and love of fish. I’m a writer, artist, appreciator of good puns, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish. 🐠
LJ
Howdy, Poptropicanos, my name is LJ! I’ve been playing Poptropica for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been blabbing about it here on the PHB for over 9 years. Wowie, the time sure goes by fast when you’re having fun. Beyond the realm of Poptropica, some of my hobbies include drawing, taking long strolls, collecting way too many cool things I don’t have room for, creating unique characters, and letting my imagination run wild in my daydreams. In real life, I tend to be pretty extremely shy, but online, I’m usually bursting with cheerful energy. Don’t be afraid to chat me up in the comments or on the PHC. Also, follow my IG and DeviantArt if you wanna!
Sporty Boa
Sporty Boa’s the name, but you can call me SB for short. I’m just a teen with big dreams, big hair, and a huge love for Poptropica! Besides playing and blogging about Pop, I like basketball, reading, and video games. I love animals and have three amazing pets (two cats and a bunny). My Poptropica username is warei.
Gentle Dolphin
Hello, I’m Jordyn, or Gentle Dolphin! I like to write stories and draw pictures. One of my goals in life is to become a comic artist and an animator. I enjoy baking, singing, dancing, playing computer games, and spending time with family. I also love animals, especially cats. You can add me on Poptropica (user: magicalyre) or find me on Twitter, Instagram, as well as on my own Poptropica fan blog.
Purple Paw
Hello! You can call me Purple Paw, or just Purple. I’m an artist, bookworm, music listener, binger of Netflix, snail lover, Poptropica appreciator (although I can’t say I play it much these days) and aspiring screenwriter. Friend me on Poptropica with the incredibly creative username PurplePawzz 💜
Magic Kid
Hiya! I’m Magic Kid✨, an ordinary-ish kid with ordinary-ish dreams and an obsession with Poptropica. I’m an LDS chaotic theater kid who enjoys writing, candy, drawing, music, animated movies, the forest, bright colors, and anything Halloween. You can friend me on Poptropica with my username: BravestChicken. Over n’ Out!

Hi I’m Sisi and slanted fish may already know me but for people who don’t, I’m obsessed with poptropica even tho I don’t play it much. I like drawing and reading poptropica blogs. I’m 10 and was born in 2011. I am happy that even tho I’m young I can post comments on these blogs. And I live in Virginia
My fringe is not showing up in the non-SUI islands!!! 😦
Hey Brave Tomato, is there somehow I can ask you a question privately? Do you have an email address?
The official email address is [email protected].
Fishy- what happened to the “Poptropedia” post? why did you delete it?
Keep an eye out for another post – we’ve decided against it. 😛
I know a few of you are over 13 but is it okay to play when your 13? Cuz im totally not 13 or anything with a poptropica addiction 😉
Plenty of Poptropica players are over 13 – it’s timeless and ageless! 🙂
I play and I probably will for many years past 13. Just sayin’.
SlantedFish, if you live in Hong Kong then can you speak Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) and are you Asian?
slantedfish: Yes to all. 🙂
Cool! I’m also Asian and I can speak a little Mandarin and my family and I speak Cantonese as our main language
I’m part Asian and my mom emigrated south korea when she was little. Way before she married my dad and had my brother, two sisters and me. I really want to visit South Korea and one time me and my family were going to fly to there in 2020 but our trip was cancelled. ( dang you coronavirus)
I’m also Asian! 😀
Although I don’t speak much Mandarin and I live in Indonesia ^^
Btw I forgot I can speak some mandarin and Korean and also Japanese. Xie Xie, gamsa haeyo and Arigato for reading dis
I’m on the poptropica app. My little brother has made 4 characters that I don’t want how do I delete them?!?!?!?!
don’t know

slantedfish: Thanks, it’s been fixed. 🙂
hi
Hi all! Now I just ❤ Dolphins, Peacocks, Cats, Deer, Rabbits, etc. So what do you ppl love? Oh, I forgot to include fishes and whales in the list…;)
Stylish sensations,
Lucky bird.
Wow, Samwow’s info is still there! XD
I can’t believe so many authors left the blog. I really don’t want another author to leave…
I see you guys put Cobalt on the past authors section. 😦
Mighty GAMER NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the saddest day of my life was when I discovered the main cryptids villain’s name was Gretchen
Cool page! I like how u guys honored the past authors.
Oh hey the Poptropica Help Blog got a Home Page upgrade
Joey, I need you to please let me comment on your blog and I will reason with you on the definition of spamming and trolling so you’ll understand better. I know what you want, you don’t want to be called a spammer or a troll, so let me give you some advice.
I’m trying to deal with him, Fishy, sorry about this.
You have said bad words.
Plus, I know the definitions.
Yes, I know that I use bad words in my Tumblr posts. But still, I want you to unblock me on Tumblr so we will speak privately regarding this issue, and if you don’t know how to unblock, you can let me comment on your blog and I’ll show you how to unblock.
Excuse me? Those weren’t “bad words.” About that statement about what you made about “spamming” and “trolling” being bad words, it doesn’t work like that when it comes to the Internet. And if you do know the definition of spamming and trolling, you can unblock me on Tumblr and we can speak privately.
You’re right, I saw you use bad words on Tumblr
So… do you know how to unblock people on Tumblr so I can talk to you?
I can’t log in to Tumblr, sorry.
You can talk to me here.
UGH, Okay fine. So since you know the definition of trolling and spamming, can you please tell me?
Troll means: “make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.” Spam means: “send the same message indiscriminately to (large numbers of recipients) on the Internet.”
Yes. That’s the definition I was going to say to you. And I bet it’s why people called you a troll in the PHC the other day in response to your rude behavior towards me; calling me a “troll”, telling people that I swore when I was going to say something to you, and other stuff which got you kicked and banned. If you want to be unbanned from the chat you need to contact the PHB and apologize sincerely, saying you will never do this again.
what happened to Wild West Island
I do not see the new map though I can clearly see REALITY tv island lol
ok is incredible joker an author now?
Yup! He’ll primarily be doing the new Ask the Joker series, but also has a few other post ideas up his sleeve…
oh, ok. looks like we reached a new height of 9 authors :3
also incredible joker emoji when
New record, yup! Also, sadly, the Joker is not on Discord to be able to enjoy the tradition of the staff emoji.
Is Sporty Boa and still an author? There hasn’t post from Sporty boa in a year, that’s the reason I’m asking.
Yes, he’s still around. 🙂
I think it’s so cool you used that boat picture! It seriously made my day– no, made my WEEK! 😀
I got the meme’s base from someone else so maybe could you say that it’s by QueenCookieMonster and Magic Kid? I don’t want to get yelled at later 😅
Thank you!! :]
Thanks again for the cool drawing!! Attribution added. 😄
Yo, where have Fierce Flyer and Sporty Boa been? Excluding the poppies and creators’ interview, Sporty Boa hasnt posted since 2021, while Sporty Boa hasnt posted since 2021, too (also excluding creators’ interview 2022)
Also, since Poptropica isn’t getting updates anymore, are u still gonna add new authors to the team?
Poptropica itself isn’t all that active these days, so we’re not looking for new staff writers on the PHB anytime soon, but we always welcome guest writers! 😊 As for Fierce Flyer and Sporty Boa, you can reach them on our Discord server, the PHC.
what happened to the header? Why does it show CJ?
Just decided to change things up a bit, and this image with CJ goes pretty well with the current back-to-school season.
