My nick is based on this guy! I approve! 5 Stars!

So the US Government is protecting YTMND from The European SEGA Imperials? "First Amendment Rights? This isn't the United States. 1'd." YTMND is based in the United States and I'm pretty sure Max is a US Citizin.

Ah, I see Brett is based in London. That gives me an idea...

You should make a YTMND based on this.

GIMMICK ACCOUNT SUCCESS: today a user pmed me by mistake with his gimmick account. i told him if he didnt delete all his votes or simply delete the dupe account i'd tell everyone who his 'normal' ego was on here. he opted for the former. save it to say, http://ytmnd.com/users/TheAngryNintendoNerd (based not on one catchphrase but his entire character) has put his account in the deletion queue.

Here, you must choose your next path. You could race up to the observatory, spin the sundial and pass into the room of the golden idols. Once there, push down on their bases to release the doors that may take you below, or lead you into the shrine of the silver monkey.

Someone needs to make a 3500hz square wave site based off of that The Messengers commercial

^It goes like this: he takes the top 2,000 users, based on a combination of site ratings, comments, and general all-around respectability. He puts these names in a hat, then pulls out eight at a time, and arranges them at 45-degree angles in a circle. Then he plays the original "Ridin' Spinnaz," and after a while randomly hits ESC. The mod is whoever gets chosen by the penis.

i would also like to nominate myself as a moerator. i work the night shift at lowe's, so when i come home everyday, i spend around 3 hrs on ytmnd. also, i have made 100+ sites. All of which are a 2.5 or higher. i don't juist view up and coming sites, but rather push sites to up and coming by viewing the recently created. my votes are fair based on citing sources, taste, relevence, effort, and of course humor. but, my main argument is that i'm here EVERY DAY! i never call in sick, a perfect attendence!

You could start by running to the Room of the Three Gargoyles. Push in the right tongue, and a door might lead you down a staircase into the Wall Climb. Here you must choose your next path. You could race up to the Observatory, spin the sundial, and pass into the Room of the Golden Idols. Once there, push down on their bases to release the doors. That may take you below or lead you into the Shrine of the Silver Monkey. Assemble the Statue there, and you may be headed for the Torch Room. If the elevator is up, you could jump in the elevator and descend into the Mine Shaft. Next, you could climb up the ladder or plow through the stone wall. Find the key, and it may unlock the Tombs of the Ancient Kings, allowing you to enter the Swamp. If you escape, you might have a chance to sit upon the Throne of the Pretender. If the correct door is unlocked, you could crawl through the Pit of Despair and, finally, make your way through the Cave of Size/Sighs and back to the Temple Gates. The choices are yours and yours alone. GOOD LUCK.

if making jokes/images/animations is fun on it's own why even join a community-based website that has features such as VOTING

Fourest, based on what I saw on SPY, you have little to complain about

i've been trying to get to the root of the liberal mindset over the years, and what i've come to so far is that it's based in a lack of humility.

Honda, you have to have a real politically thin skinned if making fun of Conservapedia made you rant like that. I'm rather liberal and two of my most well known sites are base level attacks on well known liberal icons. get a sense of humor about yourself for christsakes, or at least retaliate against an equally decent target like wikichix.org, feminists who decided it was important to make their own site since someone said 'hairdryer' belonged under 'womens studies'

see and even here i overspoke, considering Frank Miller has made fun of Reagan viciously in the past as well. So um, yes, based on the NPR interview only that one could easily find, yes, on current military issues and regarding Iraq/Iran/Islam, he could be characterized as right wing. Because of this, obviously a war story with his name on it is going to have people read things into it that arent necessarily there.

no seriously i stole this from digg, i mean before digg there was no such thing as user-voting-based comment thresholding. they also invented ajax and mysql.

I do hope he's using the comment ratings to help him decide who gets banned (auto-banning based on bad comment scores will be buggy, so it should still be a person's job).

maybe ytmnd should institute a user of the month or site of the month. voting could be based on something like sites getting noticed by outside media, or best submission of the month, or some other factors. just throwing out an idea.

comment highlighting based on response time, it's a new option (you can turn it off). color is likely going to change.

Well separating views based on outside users/registered users and referrer tracking is something I've wanted to do for a while. The major issue with all of this is database power. I specced out a database server I think would be able to handle all of that load, and it came out to around $20,000, so I don't see it happening soon.

Star/icons, "member status" as on so many forums, based on variables... membership time, site ratings...

And yet, in my opinion, every once in a while bad fads generate the rare funny, or at very least amusing, spawn. I do not personally grouping YTMND's together as lame based on keywords or subject matter alone. (Not talking about ALL fads, by the way)

invite only won't prevent morons from getting on to the site. gmail was (is?) invite only, same with high school facebook. Invite-only ensures a user base with a high social status, not creativity. the idea of only registered users being able to see sites is really clever, and would be effective. It means ytmnd has a much lower profile. I think it would attract a more creative demographic, and not a demographic that just wants to be entertained and occasionally masturbates in ytmnd format.

I agree with this. Exclusivity would be bad, and even probably make the fads more and more prevalent. What should be done is just fixing the main page, so actual good sites show up where the most people can see them. This could be done many ways, but my favorite suggested so far is getting rid of the Top Viewed in favor of something merit-based. Perhaps if a stars-for-members deal was set up, there could be a box for the highest-rated site of the highest-rated members.

After the new mods have been chosen, you should make something like a "moderator's favorites of the month" if you want to get good YTMNDs that weren't noticed onto the FP. Also as far as making a better voting system, you should totally go with something based on user experience.

SA and YTMND aren't really comparable as they have their costs based in two separate areas. SA's cost come from single users browsing/participating on the forums which in turn uses bandwidth and server capacity and their profit comes from those same users paying a $10 fee to make up for that. YTMND's costs come from a user looking at a YTMND linked to them externally and then just closing the site and never coming back. Regular users view enough ads to make up for the server load/bandwidth usage.

I agree on some of these points. It's disappointing to say the least to see people continually making the same obvious distasteful jokes over and over again. While I think jokes based on religion or race can sometimes be hilarious, I think in a lot of cases people just try to go for the easiest way to what they think is humorous, which ends up in YTMND being flooded with unfunny stereotypical racism that brings nothing to the site except further putting it in a bad light.

I can't say I read through the 3 pages of comments, but would it be a good idea for a separate, invite-based, "elite" YTMND? I.e. leave today's YTMND for the masses to be filled with fads and WoW, but let the BTapes and Sitsus flourish in a separate, exclusive YTMNDElite utopia? You could even tell people that YTMNDE doesn't exist.. it's just an urban legend.. but then one day, after giving thousands of honest votes and publishing several high quality sites, Joe YTMNDer gets an invite to be an elite..

delete all the sites and start over. then, only allow a select few back on, so we have some quality sites as a base. then, implement the moderators after that, start allowing people back in slowly, while keeping an eye on the sites and setting standards on what is good and what is bad (funny = good , effort = good , ear rape = bad). once good has been properly established in the community, throw the doors back open, with liberal use of ads and donations to mitigate the costs.

My recommendation for improving the way YTMND's are displayed would be to add the option of Genres. Almost all YTMND's are going to be comedy, but if people could post images and sound for another purpose, it would open the door to a whole new world of creativity. Think if people could make Horror YTMNDs, or maybe just organize YTMND's based on content rather than popularity... that would help people find the YTMND they'd potentially like. Also, maybe an amazon.com style "Recommended for you" ytmnd block
