#PopHatesFlops Will Be Closing In October

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

I miss the PHF heydays. When I first joined this forum in April 2016, I was so insecure, naive, and the level of self-loathing in me was incredibly high.  I was scared to join any site like this knowing I wouldn't be accepted, welcome, or treated with respect. However, on the other hand, I was really lonely and I was hoping to find amazing friends who share the love and interest in music with me. And I really did! I have met so many amazing people here. The drama was ALWAYS entertaining, even though in later days of my presence here I felt like it resolved around me. Maybe I even sparked some of them. :P 

There's so much I would like to say as I have so many memories with this place. In 2016 I would check in regularly every hour.:stretcher:

@PrettyBitchwas the first person I got along with. I miss them so much but at some point our paths crossed and we clearly went into different directions. I still love you and miss your pettiness and bitchiness. And Willam gifs! lmao

@Skinny LegendMo! I always felt like we had this on and off relationship lmao. I love you anyway. I know I fucked up plenty of times and I am sorry for that. You were always such a good admin here and thank you for giving me an opportunity to moderate this forum for some time. It was so much fun and I learned so much!

There are a lot of people I truly miss and love here that I cannot tag because they changed their @ probably and as II am not so active here anymore, I'm too lazy to find them.

Julien, muri, speedy, Sean, whoknowsmehere, lanadelrey, Jumpie, Thirdy, Ashley, Cypher... and many more.....

This forum taught me too that when you have a easy heart, you need to have a hard butt. Some people turned out to be backstabbers and real c***s. Not gonna name them but they know who they are. A note to everyone. Remember to be kind and always try to understand other people's situation before judging them even when what they do or say doesn't meet your expectations. 

I really want to apologize for my childish ways and for every time I hurt anyone intentionally or not. II know that I was capable of behaving badly and hurting people. I regret some things which caused me losing friends who I truly cared for. I was such a brat. Wish I realized it earlier.

Places like this one can be really toxic, especially when it comes to trading (is it still a thing?). Please remember that behind those avatars are real people with real emotions. In most cases they are LBGTQ+ community members who really suffer irl and they look for an alternative world where they can get lost at least for a minute to escape the pain of reality which they have to deal with on a daily basis in their real lives. I always tried to get to know people behind those profiles more. Trading was fun but it was never a priority to me. I have met people here who were dealing with bulling, self-harm, toxic relationships, abusive families, sexual assaults, lack of acceptance, suicidal thoughts, depression and many more. I, myself, could relate to many of these things myself and I sought help, or at least someone who would listen to me from time to time. In many times I wanted to turn to someone online to hear my pain, give me advice, or at least comfort me. I did. I did find people who would listen at hard times and who would also share their pain with me so that I could help them. Those friendships were honest and the help was reciprocated. We should all remember that people might be struggling and not to put them down for pimples.

There are a lot of "new" members who know me only from stories told my "some" people. These are only negative. Bummer they never wanted to get to know me but Idc because judging others from other peoples' stories speaks volumes. 

Finally, I wanted to thank Mo for creating this forum and giving me an opportunity to meet new friends who helped me a lot along the way. This means a lot and I will try to only remember the good things that made me love this place so much <3 

PS: Thanks to Posh for "??????????????????????????????????????????????????????" and "scamhhook" lmao :sassy:

Love you!

Okay but you know what? I was thinking... can we do a Farewell PHF Playlist in Spotify to put in the main page? I guess I will get sad watching it there but I also think it would be really cool to have it.

Just in case, I'd suggest including Lana Del Rey's Yosemite, of course :yeah:

@Tweener, there's never been anything but love from my end! I miss the days where you and I would talk so much shit in the chatbox :cackle: But I'm glad to know you're still visiting PHF even if you don't post as much anymore <3 We will always be here to welcome you home!

@onewish You bitch :cackle: I should have known that was you! SHE'S NOT BORING! :tanya: She's just soulful!

hi! wow, maybe i'm a bit late to this

I don't use this site anymore, at all. i was very into leaking and trading in 2016 as well, and most of my old links are broken from those sites shutting down (haha... oh well.) I don't have any very strong memories from here, i think i was a bit young as a user so i wouldn't remember much, but I always remember hunting for trades to get melanie martinez, rita ora, charli xcx, and poppy stuff back then. I don't have any specific shout outs either, but I won't forget those old days of hunting and messaging and making my trading document and listening to stuff thinking "wow, it's so cool only a few people will ever hear this." I remember a lot of you guys in this thread from back then, so I'd totally join the discord to see how everybody's doing!

It's sad to see this site go, mostly for nostalgic reasons, but when a sunrises it must eventually set.

ahh that's a shame.

I was one of the original members on pop hates fags but honestly, I stopped visiting/posting as often as we had an influx of the toxic members

Thank you for the work you have put it over the years <3 

Guys, we're actually not closing.

I'm so happy you won't be closed. Really. ?
I was registered here in 2017 but never posted anything i'm kinda shy tho. And you guys are so nice and sweet here. There were a lot of funny or cute moments in various threads which gave me many memories. I just wanted to say all these words and THANK YOU for this place, and I'm really happy you found the solution.


P.S. there are no places where Amelia Lily or other iconic pop girls from the past are still remembered so it makes you even more treasured :awkwardney:
