the hash is back in town

No, not from Mexico. The beloved "# !" combo on the site template is now available in your user options.
I've made some changes to the pop bar on sites, nothing major but hopefully a little better looking.
I'm working on some pretty neat stuff to clean up YTMND a bit, if you are interested, read more.
First off, I'm working on a pretty thorough dupe account checker. It's already caught quite a few members. I've decided to change the dupe account policy. If you have 1 extra account I will most likely do nothing. If you have more than 2, a few things will happen. You will be posted to the new "wall of shame", this includes your email address, and your password will be reset and posted as well. Anyone can log in to your account and do whatever they want (except change the password). Your username will be pink everywhere it is posted on the site. Ultimately, 48 hours later, all of your accounts will be deleted. I may leave the option of keeping a single account, but with all of the vandalization that will most likely occur, it probably wont be worth it.
Next I'm working on some features to keep people from voting on sites before they have seen them. It will make it a lot harder to down-vote or up-vote all of a users sites or the front page. I may be able to remove votes made in this way from the past but I can't tell yet.
On another note, please stop taking this site so seriously. I know it can get competitive at times, but you guys seriously need to chill on the hate.

Nice job cracking down on the up and down voting. Two things:
1) I really like the 5 min instead of 15 min to create sites because a lot of times I design everything offline, edit and test, then load the ideas I've come up with at once.
2) I think the recent sites created needs to be expanded to 10. At peak hours a site can get blown clean off the front page within a minute or two, which encourages people to take advantage of making them at the end of the day and makes the success of a site more about luck than talent.
Thanks for the great site and keep up the good stuff.
Heres an honest situation, may I be repremanded as fitting, but to explain.. My girlfriend set up an account from my computer, and as I spread the word, I had over 3 friends set up accounts from my house and my computer so that they could be introduced to his amazing site. View my works, judge me accordingly. Also see their user remarks and IP's from different locations when they have voted at different times. And I have many different ppl come to my spot and log in. Try to isolate IP's from user creation, not just from where they logged in as well. Im afraid this 'Shame' thing is gonna attack undeserved creators. Peace.
There's still that glitch that freezes on yesterday's TOP RATED and MOST VIEWED when you click[more]. My newest site is not on any page or search, except for my user's profile, yet it's score is hovering just below top5 since midnight last night..... Seems to apply to all sites made after 8:00pm yesterday, that did'nt end up on the top15 list... can you check it out? or does it eventually reset? it's been 10 hours already.
also i think fadcompilations should be removed from the hall of fame as they have no merit of being there, this includes: YTMND: For Gameboy, Right Now It's YTMND, Runaway YTMND, Cheers to YTMND (refresh) * el update (an update to a hall of famer yeah rite), Wizard of YTMND. but it's just what i think
ScndPistonHonda, take a look at the hall of fame, can you really say that all of them are to your taste? They aren't all to my taste but they are popular. Reason HoF was made was to take away popular ytmnds which took up room on the top5, the way I see it is that cosby bebop needs to go to hall of fame for the sake of it's upvoters And downvoters
