Greetings,
I've been hard at work on the mod control panels for the last couple weeks and they are really coming along. I'm also working on a few other features which I will go into further inside.
Also, I think it's time to start looking for users to add to the moderation team. Read more for details.
First off, YTMND sites that use the preloader are now Opera/Wii compatible. It took a lot of hackery but you should now be able to view some YTMND's on your Wii without trouble.
Next up the search replacement is coming along nicely. I think the engine is almost production-ready. It will replace the search and the /list functionality. It will also allow you to search comments and image/sound origins as well as a few other previously unsearchable fields. That's just waiting for some UI Design love and then it will launch.
I also re-wrote the site template to be much cleaner than it was previously, the pages are smaller and most of the static stuff can now be cached as it is in external files.
I want to switch over to the new site creator, but haven't due to it being somewhat buggy. I desperately need bug reports from you guys about the new site creator, so if you have found something wrong in the past, please mail me or post it here.
While the moderator control panels aren't fully up and functioning yet, the Super-Mods are giving lots of good feedback and I hope to be finished with it soon. It's time to start recruiting moderators, and we need around 200 of them so don't be shy!

IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE YOU WILL NOT SEND ME MESSAGES ABOUT BECOMING A MODERATOR.
I'm letting the mods deal with this, so don't message me.
Cheers!
UPDATE: I've decided to personally take mod applications in YTMND form only. I'll keep an eye on the up and coming. Extra points for using your real picture/voice.

moneyhat: I've seen those users before and I cross referenced those names a little while ago. There's not much we can do right now because most of the mod controls aren't finished. I am, however making a "TODO" list for alt accounts. I'll be reading these comments for most of the night so everyone feel free to submit their alt-account conspiracy theories!
HC: I've tried Orange bombs and don't much care for them. Raspberry bombs are good but still doesn't compare to a Cherry Bomb to me. Also Jager Bombs, 151, Wild Turkey, SoCo Lime, Chocolate Cake, Jack and Coke, Captain and Coke, Crown Royal, Patron...you know what I really don't care if it makes fat girls skinnier. Give me a shot of nail polish remover screwdriver.
Really looking forward to the new features. Thanks for still caring Max. Also, I vote BTape and Sitsu, though shoe-in's...can't be mods UNLESS they submit picture/voice YTMND applications. loooo. Also, nutnics should be a mod. If he wants to. He's one of the smartest, most level headed guys on here.
A thing about the new site creator.... You can switch to it by getting on the frontpage, clicking the create site button. When you're in the upload screen, click create site again below the YTMND logo to access the new Uploader. It's neat, but that thing about the site's sources not being editable are fuzzy.
I came up with a list of people that I'd like to see as mods. They are as follows. Sorry if I left you out/left a divisive figure in that shouldn't be in there........................................ Bob-the-builder, moheevi, PCF, Sylvester, Gr33nscr33n, Chav-Slayer, money-hat, MasterSitsu, BTape, Kayne, cooke, Kassius, BrokenVisage, AskAak, gamekid, boomaga, Korf41, HeatherChandler

"ytmnd doesn't work with firefox anymore" I know, it's been slower than slow. Also, I wanna be a mod. Look at my vote spread, I'm no gimmick, I'm responsible. Also, I have a lot of free time. Also, I might start campaigning tonight. Or wait, maybe we should elect Bag Of Leaves or Side Of Hashbrowns in the midterm elections.
rocket-scientist: That statement is far from having any merit. There are only 4, MAYBE 5 people on that list up there that you could consider YTMND Ventrilo regulars- all of which are moderators there too. Your social grouping on YTMND will have no bearing on your chances of attaining moderator status- not in my opinion anyways. I know I can't speak for all of us, but the SuperMods are to be as unbiased in their recommendations as possible. :)
Wasp buzzes right. On a related note, free tip to anyone sucking up to people on the list - don't bother showing us how qualified you are by just saying "All my sites are ranked 3 or higher and I have sites with 100,000 views" or whatever the f*ck gets you off about yourself. It doesn't do anything to increase your odds of being chosen. You're more likely to be chosen if you show you're not a retard, rather than showing you're the guy who created "NEDM and Stephanie Fight On The Enterprise" or whatever.
xXWaspXx: there is merit in questioning the selection process. as long as the mods represent the community the system should work. but a mod panel too tilted to any clique(s) may result in a loss of the diversity of ytmnd. your comments reasure me but i remain sceptical. i hope the other super mods will follow your fair and unbiased example.
