YTMND Search

I am not a lawyer, but I am also the webmaster of a website, and I have recently been threatened with a lawsuit over a comment one user made about another on my forums. According to the lawyers I have talked to, Communications Decency Act 230 will protect you, but only if you are a content provider and not a moderator. If you create the moderation queue as you propose you will become liable for the content that users create here. You do not want that, and YTMND users do not want that. It only takes one overzealous thin skinned knuckledragger to destroy this whole thing for everyone.

As of tomorrow I think I've officially won the Snakes on a Plane fan contest. That being said, I've decided to split the winnings with igberd, who is #2 in the contest, but obviously the true #1 fan. If the contest organizers will have it, I want him to have the screening and I'll just walk away with the Sobe, that way everyone walks away happy. read more for further updates now, on to business. I've been talking to quite a few different advertising places and things are looking better. I also got the new design for YTMND and I think you guys will really like it. I haven't decided if I'm going to leak out more of the

I don't think farkle started out making moon man sites. That makes it seem like he was an independent user to me.<br /><br />Also I talked to him on MSN once or twice and he kinda seemed like a 10 year old kid that would be grounded if his parents saw what he did on the internet.

Max, I thought you were going to keep the Minecraft server up, but from what you said I will lose the opportunity to meet people there, people who even use this website. For example, yesterday I was very excited when I found out that a YTMND user was in the world. I wanted to talk to him and play with him a little bit. I'm new at Minecraft so everything about it looks new and beautiful, especially the fact that I can interact with real people. Of course, there's always the real world but it's my choice if I want to go and play in a virtual world. Besides, I'm most probably the only Italian active user here and I bet most of you live in the States, in any case far from that shithole that is Italy, and I wanted to see what is like to play with one of you, without having my words dismissed in an indistinguishable cloud of forced unfunny jokes and pitiful self promotion. I think it's acceptable here to have this behaviour, we can all be characters here. But in Minecraft, how much does a fake and shady "personality" last? In the 3D world you are more human than in a webpage.<br />The impending closure of that Minecraft server will make me reflect about the importance of the real world not based on a computer. There's no switch off for the Universe.

If YTMND wants to get better, it needs moderation. Full stop. There are a few things that could be tried:<br /><br />1. [b]Get some fucking moderators.[/b] There are some good people that actually waste their free time here and would be fine curators of the site. I know you said not to ask about moderators, max, but you know what? I'm asking. This place needs them. Sorry, but you can't just wish away trolls. <br /><br />[i]max, you've talked about making this site "self-moderated" but I think it would actually be easier on you to delegate the responsibility to others. If you still have some ambition to implement self-regulating mechanics on this site:[/i]<br /><br />2. Add an algorithm to the voting system so that users who tend to "5" or "1" everything gets their votes "down-weighted" over time. Your 10,000th "1" vote isn't as much of a downvote as the first. It wouldn't just be a simple count of "number of 1-votes"; it would compare number of 1-votes to number of total votes and analyze the user's vote spread to determine if someone is a "downvoter" or "upvoter" or someone that only votes "1" or "5". <br /><br /><br />3. Restrict the voting privileges of new users. Voting should be more of an earned privilege, and less of a lazy entitlement. If new accounts couldn't vote, it would also remove the incentive to create alt accounts.<br /><br />4. New users can be "fast-tracked" to voting privileges by contributing to the site. The best way would be to have a new user "vouched" by an older user, but you could also set up something that analyzed a user's sites and comments and measured it against some criterion (maybe something like how Featured Users worked). Moderators could also decide to promote an account.

Hey, I'd like to show you the person who did this first. Maybe you'd like to talk to him. http://www.ytmnd.com/users/profile/38082

SSbrawlfan, I wasnt talking to the user I was talking to the fad. I said "NEDM blows. Die."

Hellzzz yeah! We won! It's good to be a vet of two YTMND Wars... I'm sure Max must be pissed off though, this bullsh*t took about a day and a half. Now there is talks to create a new unofficial Military Branch of YTMND-Based on MySpace. Because we massed so many users it may become a new forum for us. I hope you guys join, even though it is on gay *ss MySpace...

dhaos is 100% right. There is nothing wrong with firefox per-se, but all those idiots who praise it makes them totally bullsh*t to listen to. And people who purposely shuts down sites to IE users and tell them to go download firefox instead. I mean, come on. You don't stop talking to friends for buying a diffrent brand of butter, do you?

I talked to him before in a PM, and it was pretty interesting. Good thing I'm not a jackass to reveal our conversation. As for this site, 3 is justifiable. -2 for the fact that its about another user.

i really think people give this such high ratings cuz a girl did this. most of ytmnd users are huge nerds who have never talked to a girl. why else would this get 836 votes and only get 15 favs

Vector (A.K.A. Vector1337) is a Communist from Belgium who wants to spread communism around YTMND. He upvotes all sites involving Communism (positively) and downvotes the sites that are hate towards communism. His sites are rated more than 2.00, and is a very nice guy that likes to share ideas with his buddy's. Vector's I.Q. is very high, and he doesn't like dumb people, even if it's not their fault they're dumb. His average voting is 4.33, and he voted on 5465 sites.

woah, dude. you just made a site right now, and i voted on it. it's a screenshot of the YTMND front page, and it makes fun of a popular user just because he is popular. that deserves a one, if you ask me. also, from now on, if you want to talk to me, PM instead of spamming my comments, kthx

if you were talking to me, i wasn't addressing you... i was addressing this *ssh*le http://www.ytmnd.com/users/captiancharisma.

You all have to be f*cking kidding me. The only way computers effect someone's sex life is if they talk to a girl about their computer. And considering mac users can't shut the f*ck up..

not saying all non featured users are queers. i was talking to the no featured users that were queers. misunderstanding....ya queer.

lets think about it. this little group of users is referring to themselves as "saving ytmnd", so you guys have become a select group that talks to littler users like they are scum. You guys are just as bad as featured users.

thats some sort of joke right? like youve been enlightened over 3 years how stupid you are yet making virtually the same comments you made 3 years ago. id like to see what losers youre talking to while posting on ytmnd because it sure isnt the users of ytmnd. i know your alts are primarily for upvoting your own comments even tho the real story is that youre just another personality of umfuld. this place will be officially dead when creators listen to commenters like you.

you have no idea who you are talking to or what you are doing. i am simply a user who does not like your site. sorry. you failed.

i will echo the "never ask for advice on the internet" sentiments, especially on a website where 97% of its users have never even talked to a girl before. but if you want advice anyway, i'd say don't lose custody of your kid. get yourself a good "dad's rights" lawyer, and don't miss out on seeing your kid grow up. that's pretty much all that matters.

why would you not respond to me because this is not my main account? what does that have to do with anything? and why are you explaining how you vote? nobody asked.<br /><br />but ok, i guess i have to log into my main account to be taken seriously, because if you respond to me then you might be talking to a user you're not supposed to like. this is because ytmnd is a popularity contest on the gayest social network on the internet.

This place is so schizophrenic, i have no idea who and what is real anymore here when it comes to user names. Half me of thinks this is just gr33n talking to himself. I dunno. Either way. 5.

To Whom It Concerns (/still gives a shit in this day and age):<br /><br />1. The word "whom," although ostensibly the objective form of "who," should really be reserved for butlers alone.<br />B. My last ATE sites are currently my lowest rated sites. I doubt this is an accurate reflection of my site-making and more likely the result of having accidentally offended some sensitive user with too much time/alts on their hands.<br />%. Whereas I don't make sites for ratings, I've no need to talk to uninterested parties.<br />Four. See ya.

lets show max we are a community! we know minecraft.ytmnd.net is our future! playing minecraft increases site making and creativity. the best sites are made when users talk to each while playing a game than on some 20 minute chat. minecraft shows the avatar of the user! LETS SAVE MINECRAFT.YTMND.NET! PM OR SEND AN EMAIL TO MAX NOW FOR THE MAP!

A PART OF A MESSAGE PMING WITH BEATINGOFFADEADHORSE:<br /><br /><br />i'm currently a satanist now. i tried avoiding that whole previous issue after that and pretened i was just an average ytmnd user like everyone else.<br /><br />i know the girl issue might scare a few, but i want to be honest.<br />...i am a girl inside. i was always<br /><br /><br />like, i don't want to be gay, since i will still be a guy, i really want to take this to a new level.<br /><br />i want a sex change.<br /><br />see my preview image for my recent site? thats me cosplaying as bulleta from vampire savior.<br />i really admire her. she is really the perfect girl image. all my persoanlity is in her.<br />next to her is leona from kof, but i noone can relate to me on that level becuase she so deep (i really love her)<br />so bulleta is a great leader for my girl persona. i want to start acting like a girl now. i will even drop being a satantist to be one (maybe i can be both). just pretend the previous stuff never happened and start to repect me now for who i really am deep down inside.<br /><br /><br />a girl :)<br /><br /><br />...so now thats off my chest (breast i mean lol) why am i talking to such an immature boy?? >_<

You made this YTMND because you want [user Nyeusigrube:profile] to be your online girlfriend. I should know, because I overheard you talking about it to my entire family when I was in the other room slowing my roll.
