Greetings,
Now I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, but don't let that fool you, I've been busy!
Read more for info on all the new junk I've added.
New Site Creator/Editor
I've been working on this for a while and am pretty tired of it, as such it hasn't received a lot of testing, so I expect it to be pretty buggy for a few days. If you encounter reproducible errors, post here or send me a PM.
I've also added a "Holiday YTMNDs" content box, if your site has a keyword like: christmas, kwanza[a], ha[n]nukah, chan[n]ukah, etc, it will be in the running for this box. As always, keyword abuse is grounds for site deletion, so don't try and cheat.
I am also working out a new system for limiting edit changes, you can read about it here and discuss it here.

^ Its the way you made the mp3, and if you are utilizing the preloader, it will speed it up. This happened to me when dctownes made my mp3 mix. Whatever you guys are using to make you music, It doesnt ƒucking work right once preloader is applied. Try another music editing program or the way you export the audio, (make an aiff file, 16/44.1) then convert the aiff to mp3 using itunes or anything else you PC ƒags.
Anybody who likes "How To Prank a Telemarketer" on the theory that it brings new traffic to YTMND better not downvote this site if they wish to come off as coherent should support allowing the uploading of hardcore porn to YTMND, since the presence of such will undoubtedly bring new traffic to YTMND and give the site greater exposure.
OK that made no sense. What I meant to say was that anybody who likes "How To Prank a Telemarketer" on the theory that it brings new traffic to YTMND should support allowing the uploading of hardcore porn to YTMND, since the presence of such will undoubtedly bring new traffic to YTMND and give the site greater exposure.

You people post page after page of comments asking for Max to do stuff. When has Max done anything besides put the Telemarketer site into the HOF, something everyone asked him NOT to do. Let's face it, YTMND is running on autopilot. There is very little moderation of newly created sites, alt accounts are rampant, and people can generally do whatever they want without consequence. The front page is a mess full of self-defeating categories full of redundant sites.
Excellent sites get 300 views and then disappear while stupid sh*t with a eye-grabbing NSFW title ends up on the Most Viewed List. Sites on the Sponsored list ends up on the Most Voted list regardless of the quality of the sites. Surely there is a better system than this. I realize Max is busy doing the coding...and since he rarely makes ytmnds he could probably use someone else's input who does make sites. Hell even this comments page has reduced a few guys critiquing each other's works.
"Excellent sites get 300 views and then disappear while stupid sh*t with a eye-grabbing NSFW title ends up on the Most Viewed List." That's the truth. The top five viewed today (excluding the site that shall not be named) are all nsfw, including my latest, which is only nsfw because of language, but yet is still getting tons of views because the prepubescents have been trained to equate nsfw with nudity/porn. I hate to say it, but I liked it better when nsfw had its own site.
Apparently people think that the Garden of Eden is historical even though there is no historical evidence that even suggests that it is true. I don't know how you people categorize what is historical and what isn't, but I thought it was based on the historical evidence that suggests that it is true and not how strongly your faith in an archaic religion is. People are so f*cking dumb it's unbelievable. And, by the idiots' logic, the Greek gods exist because Homer said so. What a joke.
These updates f*cking suck! 1. New sites get practically zero views 2. When trying to edit a site so people get the joke in it's squirt of public view, it hangs like a sexymofo 3. After deleting a site and trying to create a new one, you get "You cannot edit a site you did not create". I DON'T WANT to edit a site, I want to create you bastards!
Pope-Corckey-XXIII has been downvoting my sites because of my alarming and horrible typos: This is pretty funny but in your comments on "bust a cap fo' kwanzaa" you said "no" instead of "know" and "middle easterns" in staid of "middle easterners". Sorry, but these are horrible abuses of grammar and I am going to have to go ahead and down vote you.
it's just not how it used to be around here. I wish we could take it back to the time around mid summer 06. That's when stuff was really intact. top 15 was the way it should be. the presence of new categories on the page changes how everything works. i miss the midnight scramble to get up and coming and be top 15 the next day. back then telemarketer would be gone within like a day. that site sux big balls. everybody's not looking at the same thing. everything's scattered. that's enough whining from me.
This sucks. I know (for a fact) I'm not the only one stuck in a loop where you can't create YTMNDs, and sooner or later more will too. Will someone fix it? I don't know, because it's been 2 days since I wrote support @ YTMND. I guess it's okay to f*ck up a good layout, f*ck people's accounts and then sit back and watch it f*ck itself.
I know he's crude but I gotta agree with fleshmachine...im also stuck in a non creative loop...max or someone...if you're reading this here's the issue: I started when I deleted a site, and then tried to reup it with new music since editing the music on the site wasnt working...it deleted fine...once I try to recreate it i get a message saying the site isnt mine and I cant edit it,which is weird because at that point in the game,I have no site in front of me to edit/create.
Also, for those of you who are stuck in the loop and think you can't create new sites, you can still use the old site creator @ http://ytmnd.com/sites/new, which is what I've been doing for the past couple weeks and it works fine, just make sure you know your information and content is proper before submitting.
"I've been working on this for a while and am pretty tired of it, as such it hasn't received a lot of testing, so I expect it to be pretty buggy for a few days. If you encounter reproducible errors, post here or send me a PM." I don't see what you all are so surprised about. Sorry if max doesn't have a crack coding team but at the moment there's... max... and if he releases something that breaks more than it fixes you guys would just bitch MORE. It's a FREE site run by ONE GUY in his SPARE TIME. Chill.
