5'd just for this portion of this battle theme. I loved Peace Walker as a whole, but when that part of the song played during the last battle, I was like "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT!"

That's because you're surgically attached to his anus. You have no say in the matter.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. I can't blame you for that. If I were sewn to Umfuld's anus, I'd have to tell myself things like that to maintain some glimmer of hope, too. Hopefully you'll be detached someday.

I've been visiting YTMND for eight years now, and I have never seen a cohesive argument that convinced me that noise-sites, Raymond gif sites, or "VOTE 5" sites are "ruining YTMND". The downfall of YTMNDs popularity came naturally, as people moved on to bigger and better things that were more suited to their talents and styles of humour (Youtube, etc).

I find it a bit flattering that you think our contributions to YTMND are that important. though.

Furthermore, check out my voting history. Do you see me mass-upvoting Santabot's sites? Or DarthWang's sites for that matter? I don't even click most of them. If I do click one and it makes me laugh, it gets a 5, and its pretty easy to make me laugh because I don't take things very seriously.

Also, haven't you noticed that the downfall of YTMND coincided with it moving away from this kind of classic style sites?

That's kind of what I was getting at. I'm not saying that was the reason, but I'm saying its a lot more believable a reason than what most people seem to believe. Besides, who cares if YTMND is popular or not? People whine when things get popular anyway.

Bumfucker thinks anyone who doesn't share his precise taste in humor is trolling, as he's so retarded he can't possibly conceive of the idea of someone actually liking something he doesn't like. I think that's actually classified as a mental disorder.

I'll be the first to admit that this type of site really isn't very funny. But it does make me chuckle. That's worth a 5 to me. There are other sites that offer far more entertainment and laughter, but I can't vote anything higher than 5 on those, so I do. I don't understand why people feel that the star rating system is so important. I suggested a while ago that we do away with it because people get too "political" with it, resorting to using alts and vote-fixing to help/hinder sites they like/dislike, accusing one another of "circle-jerking", etc.

Another common criticism is that sites like this are what's killing YTMND because of the sheer volume of them and the low quality of them. When I first joined YTMND back in May 2004, the vast majority of sites were straight rips from movies or TV shows with no creative thinking whatsoever. Users just visited any old moviewavs site, grabbed a sound they liked, and found a semi-relevant picture. No recontextualization like the original yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com ; just straight rips, almost as if YTMND were being used as a wav-file hosting space. And there were droves and droves of these sites. And a lot of them were top-rated, leaving the few creative bright spots drowned in obscurity. Mind you, this was back in the day when webspace and bandwidth were very limited; there was a large time period where the majority of YTMNDs became "blacked out" due to bandwidth constraints, and Max had capped the site limit for each user to around 10-15 sites.

I complained about those types of "straight-rip" sites a lot, but nothing changed, and YTMND kept chugging along. I later realized, however, that they appealed to a certain audience. They made YTMND accessible for those who weren't able/willing to dedicate hours or days of time and effort towards making a YTMND and were just looking for a place on the internet to goof off or blow off steam with stupid jokes and often purposely shitty edits and atrocious sound. The novelty or absurdity of a web domain dedicated to a repeating picture with huge zooming text and an endlessly replaying sound clip is intrinsically funny and ridiculous, after all.

Are noise sites or sites such as these really any better or worse than the old "straight-rip" sites from back then?

No matter your efforts to separate the wheat from the chaff, there will always be chaff. And chaff is nice, too.

I didn't expect this to launch an Ol' Timey Death of YTMND Site Quality Debate but sure, I've got a few minutes to spare before I go squirrel huntin':

My problem isn't with a few people 5ing total bullshit from time to time. I used to do it a lo, too, t when I was bored or got a bit of chuckle from someone's 7th Raymond reposted gif with a funny title or whatever. It's stupid, I knew it was stupid, and maybe it knocked something else off the front page for a few crucial minutes, so I'll even admit to helping to kill this place (in more ways than one). But what I have always hated, and was basically where I turned from enjoying this place to just fucking with those who remain, is the way that large blocks of idiocy always rule out over any other qualitative possibility, especially throughout max's 2007-09 era of refusing to give smart, savvy, funny, and non-cheating users mod powers. When it became clear that doing so wasn't a priority to him I stopped caring. Why spend a day or two making a site when it'll just get buried in 20 minutes by revenge votes because I voted honestly and openly for years? Why make anything at all, except to bug the shit out of those who gang raped the system for half a decade, thereby shitting in their own gene pool? If max doesn't care, why should I? And so here we are today...

I agree with you that voting was always a problem. It was a problem when a massively upvoted stolen gif from some other forum got a million+ views and it's a problem now in the last days of ytmnd, where about six or seven retards can ensure six or seven 5s on their constant stream of pure shit gif diarrhea, as well as make sure that the rating for the bottom end of U&C be lower than a fucking 3.50, like it's been for the past few months.

So yeah, "humor"?! ha. The hilarious FunneyJokerz® here is that any of us took more than 5 seconds to simply 1 this site and type "didn't watch."

You know, I don't even have a problem with people voting 5 on shit like this once in a while. Hell, I've dropped my standards on what gets 5 stars a lot over the last few years. It's when people just post the same dumb fucking shit over and over without even trying to add any effort/humor/creativity to it. I've seen this same exact site made 100 times before. I don't particularly care if a site doesn't make me laugh or think or if I even find it funny. I try to judge sites on originality, effort, and if anyone could find it potentially humorous I usually wont downvote it.
