Feeling confused? We know. Yes, yes… of course we care. Let us “help” you!
“Funstamp” or ([FUN]) is a page for a group of fun people. Sorry, we self-select and you’re out.
Not sure what this “fun” thing is? It can be a challenge… Here’s what the dictionary has to say about “fun”:

fun usually implies laughter or gaiety but may imply merely a lack of serious or ulterior purpose
<played cards just for fun>.
jest implies lack of earnestness in what is said or done and may suggest a hoaxing or teasing
<hurt by remarks said only in jest>.
sport applies especially to the arousing of laughter against someone
<teasing begun in sport led to anger>.
game is close to
sport, and often stresses mischievous or malicious fun

play stresses the opposition to
earnest without implying any malice or mischief

We’d like to emphasis the “violent” portion of that definition. Just because we think it might cover us in case of future lawsuits.
Now, in order to be “fun” you have to be “awesome” (don’t know how that got overlooked in the definition; I guess those word people don’t get to have much fun). Just to change things up a little for you visual learners we found a graphical representation of “awesome”.
Ladies, don’t be sad if you don’t have a hot suit like that- you can still be awesome if you find a cute man who looks hot in a suit like that (being sexist is [FUN]!).
