url update

Well, I managed to renew blog.poptropicahelp.net after all, so guess we’re still sticking with that URL for the PHB. Don’t forget you can still use poptropica.wordpress.com anytime to access this blog. 🙂

Since Poptropica doesn’t have any new updates yet, let’s talk about Poptropica Friends!

Find Friends Now: Did you know that clicking “Find Friends Now” from the Add a Friend feature (the + sign) leads you to an Enchanted Forest Multiverse-type room, that isn’t actually a Multiverse? (There’s no room code.) There, you’ll find some other Poptropicans who have also clicked that button, and you might be able to make some new friends that way.

PHB Friend Finder: However, there’s a better way to find friends, and that’s with the PHB Friend Finder, of course! You can find it listed on the Cool Stuff page. We list interesting accounts you might want to add, and in the comments, you can find other PHB readers and share your username too!

Costume Closet: Also, recently, Poptropicans have been able to customize clothing from their friends’ costume closets, even certain handheld items their friends had in there! Note that you’ll need to be a member to save outfits to your public costume closet which can be accessed from your Friends profile.

Poptropica Help Network: Other great places to find Poptropica friends are the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat), the official PHB chatroom, and Breezy, the official PHB forum.

Also, we’ve reached 6.9 million hits! Thanks for visiting the PHB! 😀

Big changes to go for the gold!

August 2, 2012February 13, 2013 Slanted Fish

Hey PHB, it’s Slanted Fish here. If you’re a regular visitor here, you probably know that this site’s URL was blog.poptropicahelp.net. However, it’s expiring and unfortunately, there have been some issues with renewing it.

Therefore, effective August 24, we’re (sadly) no longer using that URL. (We still continue to own poptropicahelp.net, though.) As you can see, we’re currently reverting back to our original link, poptropica.wordpress.com! Just like old days.

Repeat: No longer using blog.poptropicahelp.net; the PHB link is going to be poptropica.wordpress.com.

Be it Poptropolis Games or London 2012 Olympics, everyone loves to watch the greatest athletes fight for the gold.

PHB Parties, Web Development

A Party “Four” the PHB: Happy Birthday!

July 27, 2012August 5, 2012 Slanted Fish

As you may know, this Poptropica Help Blog (PHB) turned four years old on July 26th! PHB readers were invited to join the mega party on the PHC and it was a blast.

The chatroom was filled with lots of people, the conversations were rapid, there was some DJing with the YouTube player, and the Multiverse room exploded in fireworks, balloons, and birthday cake hats. Many authors showed up for the PHC/PHB Author Night – Slanted Fish, MT, Shaggy, Super Thunder, Brave Tomato, Rainbow Dash, and even past author Cool Wing.

There were lots of chat regulars and new faces, so thank you to everyone who came to hang out with us and have fun! And for those who couldn’t make it, remember that the PHC is open all the time as a regular chatroom for Poptropicans. 🙂

Happy birthday, PHB!

It’s been a great 4 years & we hope it only gets better.

P.S. At the time of this posting, we have 6,865,329 total hits!

Poptropica Problems Meme and a Friend Finder!

July 7, 2012February 13, 2013 Slanted Fish

What’s that you say? New Cool Stuff for the PHB? Awesome!

Over the past couple days, I’ve been working on some new things for the PHB and can now introduce…

1. Poptropica Problems Meme

“Poptropica Problems” lets you view and even generate your own memes out of frustrating Poptropica moments. Create and share yours on the meme’s page. Plus, it features MT’s Poptropican Happy Wolf. Snazzy.

2. Friend Finder

Looking for more friends to add on Poptropica? The PHB’s “Friend Finder” page will help you look for some usernames you might be interested in adding: dummies, Creators, PHB authors, costumes. You can also share your username so others can add you too. Special thanks to PHB reader ThunderSharkPanda!

You can find all this and more on our Cool Stuff page, which you can access by clicking on it from the navigation bar above. Enjoy! 😀

Sneak Peeks, Web Development, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

What a wimpy winning

June 20, 2012January 5, 2014 Slanted Fish

Well, we were going to show you a new Wimpy Boardwalk update… but it looks like it’s out of order.

All those lovely stuffed toys you see in the background, but the claw picks up this?

Bored this summer because Wimpy Boardwalk isn’t here yet? *rolls in the advertisements*

Icy Comet’s Poptropolis Games Guide for the PHB is up!
Rules and Ranks have been added to the PHC – just scroll down!
Talk to other Poptropica players on our Poptropica Help Chatroom (PHC)! Meet in Multiverses, play games, chat about your favorite things, and have fun!
The 100th episode of former PHB author MT’s Party With Hobos was recently added to the PWH site!
PoptropicaHelp.net, our Poptropica Help Network (PHN) homepage, was given a few improvements. Take a look, and if you haven’t seen some of our networks listed there yet, be sure to check those out as well.

As you may or may not have noticed, I changed my screen name from Hijuyo to Slanted Fish. My Chinese name can also be translated to mean slanted (wan) fish (yu) by using different tones. I felt that it suited me more and I do like it better. As far as nicknames go, I guess you can use Slant, Fishy (to differentiate from other Poptropican “Fish”s), or stick with Hiyo/Juyo until you’re used to the new name. :3
