hey gang,
Quick update about contests: they seem. to be going well. Later today I'll finish off the contest listing page which shows the history of all the contests and the top few winners from each. It should be available at /contests/ by this afternoon.
There are a couple contests in the pipeline, next up is a sponsored contest by Razor Gator, followed by a YTMND t-shirt design contest. This time around we're actually going to print them!
Another quick note, I heard back from the company who makes the SDK we've been using to convert GIF to SWF and while they haven't fixed the 16000 frames issue yet, they are allotting some time to it later this week, and hopefully at that point we can proceed with the Flash stuff.
On a related note, some very exciting news from the Firefox 3.1 Beta; they've added native support for <audio> and <video> tags. This means as of Firefox 3.1, the browser will support the playing of WAV and OGG files with no external software. I've yet to test looping (because it isn't implemented yet), but I will be incredibly pleased if we can get native seamless looping of audio without Quicktime.
I'll go into some more detail about this in the YTMND Development Blog later this week.

I'm not sure how to go about it. I want people to be able to enter old sites in, as it's possible they could be relevant. Once a contest is finished, sites are locked in and can't be entered to anything else. I'm hoping after the first few contests it will taper down. If not I guess I can start deleting sites.
is it a stretch to try and be original for a contest? i see how some of the tourneytmnds could become contestmnds but some of this other sh*t didnt have anything to with the contest then and doesnt have anything to do with them now yet theyre resubmitted top rated trash. as if the ytmnd veterans are becoming NARVs themselves.
"You're okay in my book"? That wasn't a quitting site. He made one a year or two before that with some whale tail fin stickin out of the water, with some music that i think's overused now, with text saying "GOODBYE!!" but then he deleted it a month later and started makin sites again lolololo, yeah actual "quitting" sites like that hardly ever work out. It's best to leave on a cynical note like mastersitsu finally did or state-of-mind
max, I have a suggestion for the contests: what if you made the Contest box on the front page only show 10 entries that you haven't voted on. This makes it easier for all the contest sites to get viewed (not just the top-rated ones), and if you want to see the ones you've already seen and/or see the ranking, you can click on the contest name to see the list...
ccasionally we have parts in for Escort Cosworths, Transits etc...
We also sell classic Fords as projects, that we feel are too good to break.
Images are available of any part upon request. Check through our site as many of our parts are listed with an image.
All Fords listed above as well as parts are bought for cash.
