Tomorrow Untrodden

Greetings.

I've taken the next few weeks off from work to have another YTMND development drive. This will include much-needed maintenance, bug fixes and a few new features. In addition to this, I've been working with Big Spaceship over the last month working on a new design, which I'll be implementing as well. If I have the remaining time, I'll be fixing up the admin panels and possibly adding some new mods.

So this is your chance to complain about anything (aside from the design) that's been bugging you recently or stuff you've been dying for.

I'll keep you guys updated over the next few weeks in between eating handfuls of adderall. Please provide useful feedback and bug reports. While I'm working on the new codebase, I'm going to be moderating with an iron fist. There will be zero tolerance for spamming/trolling/etc, so unless you want all your accounts deleted and to be IP banned at our routers, please try and behave for once.

Please do not bother me about being a moderator, when the time comes I'll make a news post about it.

The "fav" icons do not show on the comment pages.

There used to be that glittery, faggoty, gem-is-truly-outrageous, faggoty icon thingy.

I think I remembered this in a dream last night, but forgot when I woke up in the morning.

This sucks. I miss DragonGate. It’s times like this (Thanksgiving and Christmas) that I want to be with the one I love, but she is on the other side of the world.

Although I am sad, I am more than willing to share her with the Army. I told her more than once that I be more than accepting if she makes the Army a career. I will highly recommend to her that she stay in the Army until they no longer wanted her. Then I can have her all to myself.

Well, see ya’ later!

For those of you coming late to the party, DragonGate is a Korean "comfort girl"--and suffice it to say that the Army no longer wants her. Cuz they've all had her.

Another issue to add to the list:

That refresh button in the bottom-left corner of the window only seems to work properly for sites that just use a foreground. If you have both a foreground and a background, and you press the refresh button, the sound cuts out.

Okay, at the risk of sounding like I'm complaining, I honestly was not expecting very much, but I'm still curious about this. My latest site got a 4.57 and only 200 votes. How did that happen? 300 used to be the amount that kicked you off Up and Coming, and if you managed to get in Top Rated too you could probably get over 1,000, but that was way back when, I know. Users have left, but for some reason there's still discussion going on in the news. So I figured I'd ask you guys what you think.

Suddenly we have tons of users and now we seem to have a max of 200 browsing the front page every week. What happened here? Is this Hill Valley or is it Hell? What do you think caused all the users to leave? How do you think we can bring back a large userbase?

9PM Thursday someone tunes into NBC only to find a loud screeching noise and a flashing screen that hurts their eyes. The next Thursday they find text reporting on what show Umfuld is currently watching with fad music. The ratings will probably show a decline.

After so many years do you really not understand this?


You are capable of making some really good sites but you upvote a lot of troll garbage. You certainly never down vote it. I had some respect for you when I thought you knew your sites would get fewer views because of this but you did this anyway for the luls. But seeing you now complain about it? I am disappoint.

Except we've always had troll sites. They were always upvoted. Yet the userbase didn't decline drastically until the last year or two.

I look forward to the day when you all gain the power to alter reality with the YTMND +/- comment feature and are able to cause the rest of the internet to be just as interested in what troll site I recently down voted and will be happy to find 3 sites about it and glad to be able to plus your comments on said top rated sites reading "LOL".

There isn't one reason why people leave. Content is the main reason, but it isn't the only one. People just move on. They find a new site to hang out. They leave because no one notices their crappy sites. They leave because of trolls or they get bored trolling here. They get other priorities like work and/or families. They leave because they got frustrated with Max and his empty promises (like Afrotech and Bloomer). They leave because they got sick of waiting three years for Max to update the site and when it did get updated they found the layout ugly. I think Sitsu left because people kept harassing him. They left because of Moon Man sites. They left because of spamming. They leave for many reasons. YTMND started it's decline in late 2008/early 2009.

I work 60 hours a week, which is why I don't come here as much and don't make a lot of sites.

I don't think we can bring back a larger userbase. YTMND isn't getting the publicity like it did in 2005 and 2006. It's a limiting medium and what was a novelty five years ago is now behind the times.

Not for nothing but I've long felt that when fearcondom isn't pumping out epic sites regularly the overall quality of YTMND is halved.

Only 15 sites in almost 5 months. It's noticeable.
December 5th, 2010

The way I see it is that YTMND is being run into the ground by a destructive feedback loop of doubt, frustration, angst, incompetence, apathy, disgust, and a natural loss of interest. Users have been leaving since the beginning of ytmnd's existence, but its produced only a gradual unnoticeable decline for the first couple years because the user base was quite high when ytmnd's quality was first put into doubt, not to mention that ytmnd saw enough growth to balance out user loss. As soon as ytmnd was cut off from its major supply of new users (I'm not sure what that was), it was already in permanent decay. I kind of visualize ytmnd's community history as a parabola that has fed its own decline exponentially. One cause and effect scenario being: the more people make shitty sites, the more people leave, the more people leave, the more people stop caring, the more people stop caring, the more people make shitty sites, etc. Also, there are plenty of specific cases where users only stayed because certain users made sites, so one small event could have triggered a mass abandonment, if that user was popular. I'm guessing this happened with users like mastersitsu, but I wasn't really involved in that subset of the community back then, so I can't be sure. In addition, there was demographic change when the scene from the movie 300 became a fad. I guess a lot of users felt alienated by its popularity, and decided ytmnd was no longer the place for them, because something about ytmnd felt different after that, though I still enjoyed it. Personally the spamming and quasi-popularity of moon man sites has put me off considerably. And yet, I persist.

I see there's still a lot of debate and the users still feel the urge to express their feelings and discuss about serious issues related to this website and the community. I think it's time for me to say something too.
Most of you blame the decline to the quality of the sites. That's true. That's true when the sites are [b]not[/b] the reflection of what the users feel about a show, a celebrity, a cartoon. I've always said that noise sites are annoying to the point of scaring everyone. That's trolling. I know that, because this very same reason pushed me away from this site in 2006. YES! the same year I officially joined this site! I was much more happy when dickcream was online, because that was stuff worth watching. You also complain about the downvoting practice, which is unfair to say at least. That's trolling. You also complain about stupid fads (including the racist ones.) That becomes trolling when the entire platform becomes full of them and practically useless. That rings a bell, doesn't it?

I won't express my personal reasons about the decline of this website. As you can see I just made a mostly objective list of some things that are happening on this site. If you guys are really good at looking for stuff, you maybe will find a comment I made some time ago about how this site is unmoderated: you do the math. But there's something I still need to say: blaming it on a programmer seems a little convenient to me. You can complain about a centralized management of this site, but unless you don't know how much work and hours and money you have to spend in front of a computer just to make a bunch of fat asses satisfied, you shouldn't even mention who codes this website.

You also know that by voting you have a responsibility to be reasonable and make this website healthy. I wonder why almost nobody pointed it out!

Personally I think Moon Man was a reason a lot of older users started to leave. Like the Epic Maneuver, it is the bottom tier of creativity and humor. It's no reason it attracted a bunch of retards that eventually over-ran the place.

AND THE NEWS COMMENT PAGE IS REALLY FUNNY

I was going to count but i'm willing to bet only around 20 ytmnders control the tides nowadays. And i'd say out of those 20, maybe 7 are legitimate posters with good taste.

OH I REMEMBER WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY NOW

[i]GONNA GO BACK IN TIME FOR THIS STORY[/i]

I deleted my votes a few years back, might be 2 or 3 now i'm not sure, anyway I deleted all my votes because I knew my personal tastes in sites was pretty uhh how do you put it, I won't say bad because i'm not going to jump right on and insult myself here but lets just say there were some noise and troll sites that I enjoyed, and I only accumulated like 500 votes within 4 years anyway and I was just 5 gray star voting anyway so

OKAY FUCK THAT STORY

ummmmmmmmmmmm

yeah

just, just keep on making sites don't worry about anything the site will turn out just fine I promise

Max, since you're answering questions, could you please give us an ETA on the new site design? I'd really like to see this site pick up in popularity and I think the lighter design is a big part in that.

I can't. The design itself is finished. Porting it to HTML/CSS/JS is not even close. There are new features I have to write into the back end before the new design will even work.

I know everyone wants the new design, but my priority is fixing bugs, getting the admin panel back up fully, and finishing off the unfinished features. I want the next release of YTMND to be a lot more stable than 2.0.

Though I'm still seeing a huge amount of finger-pointing, I like the way I'm learning some info about you users, not by what idea you have of the others, but by how you express yourselves. To me it seems pretty easy to know when your arguments are justifiable and when you're just a stream of blather, like "I hit everything that moves, I don't care if I miss it, I have to do it anyway." What I don't see, unfortunately, is someone who is available to discuss objectively how to, at least, improve the general mood. Recently, I've seen a great positive response from Senor Data, and my memory came back where creativity was valued as such. Things like Senor Data are not fads per se, but open places in which you know the subject of the work you're going to create.
Someone is still suggesting or wishing some particular users as mods. I believe that moderators don't actually have an opinion on what they're moderating, they just follow a specific set of rules, so that they can reduce any misunderstanding. For example: a mod has to remove any picture containing people with a specific eye color.
Finally, I believe YTMND is less than a social network and more of a showcase. Imagine a big empty stage, open to everyone. There are enough microphones for anybody and you can:
A) jump on stage and make the sound you want contributing to a supposed "wall of sound";
B) make a mess.
It's all about what choice you believe you're making.

Also, I always have to play with the debug menu in order to see any reply on the last comment made (as long as it's hidden.)
Also, I have to expand the (hidden) comment "A" that is apparently the last, in order to see any reply to "A" and the other (real) last comment "B" that is not a reply to "A".

... I think I just made a bug report!

Unless you're willing to ban trolls you can't hope to improve the 'mood'. Someone who does nothing but post noise sites, down vote legitimate sites and up vote other troll sites, all that person is trying to do is make YTMND a site no one would want to visit.
They might not even understand that. So caught up in the freedom to be able to do it they never consider what happens if they succeed. Or maybe they do it because some people just want to watch the world burn.

But to point out this behavior, to you this would be finger pointing I guess?

Well, pass the marshmallows then.

Since you asked I'll give you some quick thoughts on how to improve the mood: create a built in system that punishes "bad" behavior. It doesn't have to be a moderator, in fact, maybe it is best that we keep those features separate. It should definitely be democratically decided what the criteria should be though, or at the very least, it should be decided by max or someone with ytmnd's best interests in mind. A smart, automated filter, if implemented (for sites, comments, account creation) could not be swayed by personal biases and would act as a fail safe in the event that a moderator's integrity has been compromised. This means no more vigilante acts of justice that encourages an alt account arms race. Once users are reverted to the same level playing field, the motivation to troll others will deflate since a large part of it is a power fantasy fulfilled by the distinct advantages of alts. Once users realize that ytmnd is no longer going to deal with their bullshit, everyone will quickly fall in line. And those that don't will be banned. Tell me what you think, and give me ideas on how to elaborate this into something admissible.

I used to make sites on an old account back in 2006. I either forgot the password or my account was deleted. maybe I'm not even remembering the user name correctly, it has a bunch of numbers in it. Anyway, I can't find the account so I've marked it as gone. Plus, my old account sucked and I had no image editing skills back then. I only have them now because my partner and I joined a small, private server through my work (I don't know the proper name for it, I'm technology-stupid) where we upload and edit each others' video files. I've had some free time so I started making some Señor Data sites because I haven't seen a ytmnd fad in a long time and I just happened to have made this account a few weeks before it started.

But then a bunch of people started emailing me, some asking if I am the alt of whatever user, some accusing me of being other users, telling me they will vote 1 on any site I make. they also reference things I do not understand at all. This news post has almost 800 replies worth of fighting and name calling, especially between the all of the users I was accused of being, which is weird. To be honest, it made me feel pretty uncomfortable. It all seems pretty hostile.

how about the ability to "un-sponsor" sites?

hear me out. i went to this dueling piano bar where students from one school would tip one of the piano players to get him to play their school's fight song, and then students from the rival school would then tip him more money to get him to stop playing it.
we could use paypal as we would for a normal sponsorship, except "un-sponsoring" would lower the site's displayed [net] sponsorship value by the amount donated.

and to be absolutely clear, here's an example:
1) user1 sponsors "not very funny site" for 10 dollars
2) user2 hates the site, wants to un-sponsor it for 6 dollars to get it off the front page
3) "not verry funny site" now shows 4 dollars in the sponsorship value
4) ytmnd makes 16 dollars. (profit!)

Hey max, since so much user activity is exposed already through Spy and user profile page, I think there should be a way for site creators to view a summary of the voting history on their sites - a page where you can see each vote and who cast it/when it was cast. I'm always curious to see how my sites are received, and it would be awesome to be able to watch how they fare over time. I imagine having a "Site History" icon right next to the "Edit Site" icon, on my profile site summary page, and it takes me to a page laid out like the "activity" page on my profile.

Thanks for creating my favorite website, max. Happy New Year.

Now that Mik3m is gone (again) there's something about him that always bugged me. He always acted like he was better than everyone and claimed voting doesn't matter. Yet he always upvoted his own sites with his nedm-rules account. I've known about that alt for years and I'm sure others know about it. It never bothered me. One alt account doesn't do anything in the long run. It just seemed hypocritical. He really does care no matter how many times he claimed not to. I mean why post a couple of sites a day just for your own enjoyment? If they are only just for you, then make the mixes and copy them to your iPod. His images were mostly irrelevant. Perhaps nedm-rules isn't him, but I doubt it.

It's actually pure coincidence. nedm-rules is his long lost twin who has the exact same taste in mashups and anime looking girls, but they've never met. They were separated at birth and have yet to discover each other, like in the Parent Trap, or Mary-Kate and Ashley's "It Takes Two."

mik3m once told me in a PM that he doesn't care about ytmnd and if he could make his site private, he would. i responded by reminding him that he organized every single one of his rap mashups into like 7 albums and uploaded them onto torrents and posted the link here. in my mind, he's always been the king shit of claiming he doesn't care when in fact he cares far more than most. he also makes user inside joke sites.

Also, Max you suck! You are the ultimate in failed admin. You should sell the site to some fucking Hollywood company, or media conglomerate.

Fuck, I bet WB or AOL/Yahoo could do a better job of running this site than your faggoty ass.

Does anyone remember the time wisdumcube commented on some site blasting the site and the community because the rating was so high for such an average site?

And then when you looked by his name it showed that he'd voted 5?

And he couldn't admit that there was anything ironic about that?
That's my favorite YTMND moment!

Greetings.

I've taken the next few weeks off from work to have another YTMND development drive. This will include much-needed maintenance, bug fixes and a few new features. In addition to this, I've been working with Big Spaceship over the last month working on a new design, which I'll be implementing as well. If I have the remaining time, I'll be fixing up the admin panels and possibly adding some new mods.

So this is your chance to complain about anything (aside from the design) that's been bugging you recently or stuff you've been dying for.

I'll keep you guys updated over the next few weeks in between eating handfuls of adderall. Please provide useful feedback and bug reports. While I'm working on the new codebase, I'm going to be moderating with an iron fist. There will be zero tolerance for spamming/trolling/etc, so unless you want all your accounts deleted and to be IP banned at our routers, please try and behave for once.

Please do not bother me about being a moderator, when the time comes I'll make a news post about it.

one time i invited two of my friends (well, my only two friends) over for dinner at my apartment. i was in a bad mood that day and while they were in the living room playing sword quest 4, i masturbated into the milk in the
measuring cup before making the mashed potatoes. all three of us enjoyed the meal, myself doubly so... in part because i secretly knew my friends now have my seed in them, and also in part because i ate the mashed potatoes too and the thought of consuming my own seed makes me want to masturbate into more food. i fear i am in a vicious cycle at this point. someone help me? please?

Max, sorry to bother you. But despite saying you were going to stop trolling you did nothing and it's gotten out of hand. I can't, in a few words, relate to you how disturbingly childish prairiedogeric10 has become. But clearly you're never going to do anything to curb the trolling here.
I can't post sites anymore because of trolls using upwards of 50 or more accounts killing every site I've posted since last September but everyday this troll, Eric, makes a dozen comments about me cheating and up votes whatever troll sites have been posted about me.

So, I'm just gonna make as many accounts as I feel is needed and I'm going to use them on his sites. Not going to continue to use them for anything else. But it's just too much and you're unwilling to help us. If you have a problem with this just ban me. You're inaction action people like eric and lacrossestar83 and jimmm and superdreamkilla and uncircumcised has made it so I couldn't pretend to care.

Dear max,

Don't change a damn thing. Its too fucking funny to watch everyone spaz over a silly internet joke site. OMG you voted 5 on that crap site? OMG you have alt accounts? OMG, you're a troll! OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm going to throw a motherfucking TANTRUM AND DOWNVOTE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! OMG I'm going to do that with all 50 alt accounts and PM all my friends to do the same. OMG why won't this user just quit and leave? OMG!!!!!

Without that sort of drama I'd have to do something more constructive with my life, like masturbate or get a job.

When you lack the talent to make popular sites I don't know why anyone would come here these days other than to troll, gary. So that stuff is assumed about you and goes without saying.

Because popularity is everything... even if it means cheating (publishing copyrighted material)

I come here to amuse me, not you. And your antics amuse me. and it amuses me to see you react the way you do, for whatever reason. If thats what you think a troll is, fine. I'm a troll. But that's OK because I admitted it right?

Go post some more stolen content you jagoff.

check out my impression of ytmnd:

"Mom! Billy is touching me!"
-
"But mom, Suzy touched me first!"
[i]Mom ignores the childish argument[/i]
-
[i]the children continue their childish argument until mom finally comes in and tells them she bought them both new bicycles (the bikes are kinda shitty though)[/i]
-
[i]the kids are distracted by their new bikes for a short while, and suggest to their mom gifts she can get them that might be better next time[/i]

"Mom, billy tried to break my bike"

etc.
etc.

I -'d my own comment above for the common good but if you see it Max I hope you see my point.

Obviously I don't expect you to respond favorably to my request that something be done to curb prairiedogeric10's obsessive trolling but was rather hoping posting about it publicly would cause him to consider his behavior.

But to my post complaining about his obsessive behavior toward me he did not mention his own behavior that was in question once. Didn't give a reason how it could possibly be justified or even show a hint that he was aware of what I was saying.
Instead he posted like a 100 lines of text obsessing over me. I hope you see the irony, because he can't.

Anyway, the reason I just don't make a new account to end the trolling is A) you told me not to and B) I don't like that I have to hide from trolls who give this site nothing but a less active membership and C) I don't kid myself into thinking it would stop. And I would find seeing them do this to someone else probably even less palatable.


So I don't care. Maybe I will do that. I used to like making sites here and felt I was continually improving. But, you know, you could always just ban them. YTMND is not gonna suffer if eric, gary, lacrossestar, jimmm, uncircumcised, and anyone else who comes here only to troll the other users are gone.
I'm sure you can say the same about me but as I said, if I'm gone, nothing would change. If you actually were to ban the trolls (or give them reason to fear that, at least) the trolling might actually lessen.

Have it be known that the 40 or so comments made on here tonight stem from a site created by eightbitprodigy. It was a good site. It was well-made and it had a few harmless jokes thrown in it. It had a 4.32 rating until it was hammered by all the gr33nscr33n alts I mentioned. I don't know why he did it. It's not like he was countering anything, since eightbitprodigy, to my knowledge, has never used alts in any way. I honestly don't know how much Umfuld contributed to it, but there is a confirmed Nothingman vote within the site's comments. Here's the site where you will find blatant evidence of cheating with alts in the comments:

[site maxdestroysytmnd:site]

Going back a couple weeks, here's another comment page with massive amounts of cheating:

http://ytmnd.com/sites/953046/profile

Umfuld is simply spewing out his hate for me, calling for a ban or a deletion. And his excuse is because I'm not voting the way he thinks I should on specific sites. He can call it trolling if he wants, but there is such a thing as freedom, so he doesn't really have a case. And he complains when I bring his name up...well, you've banned him from commenting once before, so you probably know that he does this type of thing all the time too - bringing up people he hates in conversations. Me, lacrossestar83, DarthWang, wisdumcube (2008-2009 era), etc.

Want to fix YTMND? Get rid of the alts, get a new contest started, and rejuvenate your razor with your Razor Gator.

That's good, eric. That's a start. Let's see if we can't get a mature dialog and perhaps reach an accord. I ask you to consider my rebuttal to your points with a least a modicum of objectivity, because thus far, I feel, you've not shown the ability to do this.

Regarding your comment "there is a confirmed Nothingman vote within the site's comment" about my vote on 8-bits site. Yes. I did vote on his site. It's YTMND, where the users vote on each others sites, after all. From my vote made the following comments on that site before I had yet to comment on it myself:

[b]well you're an okay dude who was doing it for the jokes instead of the boners[/b]
[b]Hi Umfuld.[/b]
[b]well it's pretty obvious, considering Nothingman showed up and started +ing your comments. During that time you had no activity.[/b]
[b]Umfuld usually does that similar type of commenting though, putting a single word a few spaces below his retarded paragraphs to give the comment a stupidly dramatic ending [/b]
[b]and he typically never has an apostrophe in 5's. 5s. and he used the word "simpleton" earlier today. Umfuld [/b]
[b]Umfuld +'d Umfuld's alts comment using Nothingman LOLOLOLOL [/b]


Again, all the above comments were made by you on a site I voted on one time and had yet to comment on. Do you understand why I have a problem with you and consider your behavior toward me to be an obsession and ultimately, trolling?
You say I posted my previous comment because of my hate for you. Do you expect a hug?
It's also worth noting that the site you're talking about includes a joke about me. So, you're up voting what I consider a troll site, and spamming the comment page with insults about me.


But - you're good guy in all this, right?

Once again, freedom of voting. As for my comments, Blu-Ray's actions are so close to your behaviors. The only other time he had any activity on YTMND was last summer, on a site about you. And he coincidentally shows up right around the time you were +ing and -ing comments on this particular site. Maybe you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, but once again, the recent evidence of your activity on almost every alt you have is still mighty suspicious. That's all the more I'm saying on here, unless you have more questions. If so, I'll get to them tomorrow afternoon.

Regarding your comment: [i]Umfuld is simply spewing out his hate for me, calling for a ban or a deletion. And his excuse is because I'm not voting the way he thinks I should on specific sites. He can call it trolling if he wants, but there is such a thing as freedom, so he doesn't really have a case.[/i]


Of your last 5 sites, 4 of them are either aimed at me or mention me by name. What does that have to do with me thinking you should vote differently? I mean, it's that what trolling is? When you or jimmm or gnu or lacrossestar or 8-bit make a site about me - that's trolling, right? I'm asking. Do you think it's something other than that? Because if not, yes, I will continue to call it trolling. And you're free to do it as long as Max wants to allow it. Which was the point of my post here. He said there would be zero tolerance and I was asking why isn't there? Understand?


And you mention lacrosstar83 and yourself as people I hate. Well, I do. But I don't make sites about you. On lacrossestar83's last 5 sites I did not leave a single comment. Do you understand that? I'm leaving him alone, more or less. I'm not making troll sites about him and I'm not trolling his comment page. I did comment on a couple of your most recent sites, but not all. Which fair enough I think considering they were about me.

If you take a look at my sites you'll find no shortage of trolling comments and flames from people like you, wang, lacrossestar83, wisdumcube, garygnu and darthwang. Every single site - count on it.

Again, this is what trolling is. I vote on your sites. Perhaps in a way you don't like. But I don't troll you or your sites - every day - all day - like you and the others.


Do you understand this?

Yes, something does. Your level of obsession / harassment.

If you notice, pretty much the only thing Max does these days is occasionally delete someone's account, clearly because they were using YTMND as a means to harass someone else by making sites about them.

You've done this to my friend, thinking it was me. So has lacrossestar. The sites are still there, I'm sure. So yes, anything is justified against people like. You should be banned.
