a journey to reedham (7am mix)

I'm hard at work on the new site creator, which turns out to be a lot more work than I originally thought. I'm well aware of the plethora of issues currently plaguing the site, and I'm working on them as diligently as possible.
Current issues:
So anyway, back to the new site creator and all its magnificent features.
As you can see from the flow chart, it's a much more intensive process than it is currently (at least from a programming standpoint). New features include:
Current issues:
- YTMNSFW voting I've put a hack in place to make voting work any time you click a nsfw link from the front page and browse pages, there are still some issues when you just type a url directly into your browser and I'm working on it.
- The Search The new search is more or less useless due to the lack of sorting capabilities. The search engine software I'm using is in the beta stages of sort ability so very soon it should be able to replace the old search. The reason the old search was removed is that it can no longer be updated at any reasonable frequency due to technical constraints. I think for the time being I'm going to switch back to the old search and just have to live with it only being updated a couple times a week.
- The site is too orange. Great, I get the fucking point, it's been two weeks. If it's still an issue for you get the fuck out. I may add a color scheme option at some point but it's not nearly as much of a priority as a great deal of new features.
- Site Moderation - Killed Sites I'm in the process of designing a whole new tiered moderation system with more of a self policing element to it. As it is roughly around five sites get killed per day, and usually with good reason. In the next week or so I should be inviting the current moderators to discuss all of the new moderation system and its strong and weak points. Which leads me to my next point:
- Gimmick accounts/Vote bots/Dupe accounts
- Shirts Yes, I'm aware you want shirts, I'm in the process of setting up with a new printer/fulfillment shop, so it's still in the works.
- Content box tweaking A few of the content boxes need to be tweaked so they change more often, ironically people seem to be complaining about top viewed not changing enough when the algorithm hasn't changed from when they were begging to have it back. Up and coming needs its vote cap reinstated as well as a few other issues.
- You Yes, you, get out.
I'm acutely aware of the plague of dip shits who think they've reinvented funny by commenting and voting the exact same way on every site ever created on YTMND. Not only is this shitty from a technical aspect, I'm fucking sick of hearing people complain about it as well as having to see it myself. I've already written scripts to weed gimmick accounts out, I just need to sift through them and make sure I don't pick up any innocents. At this point, dupe accounts have become numerous as well, and I have a gigantic list of those as well. I want you to be well aware using automated voting will result in not only your account deletion and an ip ban, but any of your linked ips. This means if your friends use your computer or vice versa, or your entire college shares the same ip, everyone gets deleted and ip banned. With any luck I'll kill the entire site.
So anyway, back to the new site creator and all its magnificent features.
As you can see from the flow chart, it's a much more intensive process than it is currently (at least from a programming standpoint). New features include:
- the ability to reserve a sub-domain for 24 hours.
- the ability to close your browser or navigate away from the site creator and then come back and pick up where you left off (with a 24 hour expiration as well)
- a nifty new dupe check system that warns you if you've: used a title that's been used previously, used an image/sound or combination that's already been used.
- "Original Content Tuesday": On Tuesdays, users will only be able to upload images and sounds never used before on YTMND.
- Color Picker for the hex inept
- Preloader update: option to auto-resync, automatically will hide site text until fully loaded.
- Live preview window: the ability to change one thing on your site and reload a preview window for easy tweaking.
- New "Classic YTMND" classification: will make for some new content boxes
- The ability for users to mark their own sites NSFW
- Hooks for a feature that's been needed for ages: Alerts. Alerts will allow you to be notified when a friend creates a site, when a certain image, sound or string in a title is used, etc.
As well as a bunch of other junk.

SkinheadedKKKNaziElite I find this user a contradiction. He only picks and chooses the aspects of each "hate" organization that fit to his trolling when in reality the KKK was an attempt at "preserving" the "White Protestant" way of life with social codes and orders the most outstanding of them being hating anything besides white protestants but he seems to ignore the chivalry contained within their code regarding protecting women whilst the Nazi's were catholics who were trying to form (to be continued)
the 3rd holy roman empire. So a catholic protestant that hides under a hood with an incorrect swastika on his arm and is bald at the same time. . . odd. Of course I wish I could meet all of you that like to spam racial slurs on the internet, I bet any of you don't have the guts to say it to any ones face and receive the consequences.
Seriously Max you should delete any image that came from other media websites. agoodwomanssport.ytmnd.com now they didn't cover up the watermark with some grotesque rectangle that says hosted on ytmnd.com but if break.com had the joke let them keep it. Inter media website hijackery shouldn't be allowed *cough* blueballfactory *cough* (also I think I made up three words in this comment)

"where are all the anti-religion YTMNDs from last night's South Park. i kinda
expected to see at least two dozen by now." - well, number one - it was lame and unfunny - and number two, as Parker and Stone tend to do, they played against both sides... it was as much anti-anti-religion as it was anti-religion.
Know what sucks about LCD TVs? No one makes a 46 or 52" set that does everything right. Sony's are nice, but overpriced and the response time is a bit high. Samsung has a picture quality near Sony's equal, but the picture is overscanned a bit so it's near useless for use as a computer monitor. Sharp's have great picture quality and low prices, but are lacking in inputs and there are backlight/banding issues. What's a rich motherf*cker who needs to live on the edge of 1080p technology to do?

Some fire hydrant conquers the ball bearing. When you see a fruit cake related to the deficit,
it means that the accurately proverbial fairy takes a coffee break. Now and then, another
purple power drill eats a freight train defined by the tornado. For example, a demon defined
by a spider indicates that some pig pen sells the recliner to the salad dressing over a
rattlesnake. When a cantankerous support group reads a magazine, the federal deficit starts
reminiscing about lost glory. SPREAD THE STORY.

"Nice work, ytmnd is ruined because of site constantly changing content each day and
getting sponsored.." Yes, honestly, quit giving this site variation. I want the same sh*t on the front page every time I visit. Let's just put up a Hall of Fame and a Least Recently Created and see how that works out. Idiots, I swear.
"It IS the same sh*t on top viewed. How long has the Stephanie porn and the
telemarketer ytmnd's stood there?" I'm just going to venture a guess here... but I'm going to guess that the reason they're always on the Top Viewed is that they get the most views. If you don't like it... don't look at the top viewed...?
"I'm just going to venture a guess here... but

It's appearant that the sites I've mentioned, always stays at the top 5...doesnt the Top viewed change at midnight?
