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.

Great story from just now - I was checking this page earlier, and apparently I hit "print" on accident. I had no idea that this entire page printed. So I'm sitting at my desk, and the secretary comes by to check the printer and goes "what is this?" and is flipping through this stack of 20 pages or whatever. She says "there's something on here about penises" referring to monkeytrousers' 201st comment. At that moment I got a bad feeling so I said "let me see it"....
....Yep, page 1 was Max's news post. I flipped through it saying "I think I've heard of this site" and then blamed it on the people at our warehouse in Arkansas (I'm in Michigan). "I dunno, maybe they were just fooling around and accidentally sent it to our printer." Then I jokingly said "I'll leave the pages on the boss' desk." And off to the shredder they went. And I'm still paid to look at YTMND all day. Until I accidentally print out NEDM and Stephanie fighting on the Enterprise, anyway.

JoshCube is like the little kid in the supermarket screaming DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY DADDDY!!!! You want to slap the sh*t out of him, but you can't. It's amazing that a supposedly grown man can be pathetic enough to have no goal in life other than to annoy the crap out of people on a website.
Damn it moheevi, quit actin like I'm gonna terrorize YTMND. Islam is a religion of peace! Say it again and I'll suicide bomb you in the name of the Prophet Muhammad. Then may Allah rip out your spine from your back and split your brains in two, and then put them both back, and then do it over and over again. Amen.
Speaking of ALTS, IPWNEDURMOM has many that he uses to upvote his sites and downvote every site on the Up and Coming if his ytmnd makes it there: OMGSTFUp, sh*tpoop, max-from-ytmnd, wooowooo, peeinmyass, weaboo, poopsex, peeinmyass, dickintheass, ilovethedick, ihaten*gg*rs, iloveakorn. And it looks like his other account that he uses for making sites and voting is fershiggs. He's probably made more that I didn't see.
Angry drunk? The elimination of f*gs like GucheHair and TwistedBarney would be a priority to me. One dork revenge downvoting seems like a pretty small thing to go ballistic about, and what I said wasn't all that serious either. Take a deep breath. Anyone who takes YTMND this seriously is bound for a massive coronary before his 17th birthday.
not enough Ween comments. I saw Ween a couple years ago shortly after "Quebec" came out. played for like 3 hours and it might be the first time I ever was second hand stoned, place was hot smokey, Gene looks awful disgusting and way coked out, but it was f*cking amazing. The Mollusk = one of the better albums, but I find myself playing "12 Golden Country Greats" these days more than any other.
Is it just me, or is it the flash ads that are slowing down the flash preloader for firefox? Either way, I don't like them. Flash ads are always scams that only idiots click so they can have a free particapation required laptop that they will never get. One of the downsides to firefox is too much flash over a long period of time slows the browser to a crawl. Shame really, as Firefox was like the only browser that the preloader actually worked properly. But the worst flash ads are those noisemaking ones.

As far as I can tell, the new moderator system will fail because none of the mods have the ability to delete users. There should at least be a few supermods with this power. Seems that the only thing they can really do is mark sites nsfw (which is a lame sort of quasi-punishment) and report the site for further action. And by "further acction", I mean that they will sit in a queue until max decides to review and delete them. Which is what already happens with the "report this site" function.
