Death comes for us all, so why not make a coronavirus-related YTMND to immortalize your message to the world, just in case you end up drowning in your own phlegm and blood.

With development under way, it's time to figure out what needs to be done around here. Make a YTMND displaying what features you'd most like or bugs you think need attention. Also, the wiki and bug tracker are back online. Creators of the three highest rated sites will have the choice between free YTMND shirts/stickers or a retired YTMND server (while supplies last). New sites only please!

Max's absence has been duly noted. You are tasked with finding new leadership for YTMND. Create sites describing what you'd do if you were the admin, or how the site would be different. What would YTMND be like if it was run by historical figures?

YTMND's aging servers have been failing left and right. Make a YTMND that explains what's happening to the servers or where they're going in their afterlife. The contest winner will receive a piece of YTMND history in the form of a dead server (with drives removed).

Max has been absent for quite a long time. Use this contest to speculate what he's been doing or where he's been for the last year.

SOPA and PIPA are bills making their way through the house that are a misguided aim to attempt to stop piracy. For this contest, you have two options; either make a YTMND that you know would get this site shut down if these bills pass, or make a YTMND that would highlight what the world/internet would be like if these bills pass. Or you could pretend to do something about it.

[from fearcondom] The new YTMND homepage is a tiny island situated in the middle of a great expanse known as the Padding Sea, what daring explorer will venture into the unknown and discover new life beyond the horizon? Create a site that explores the uncharted waters of the azure padding surrounding the homepage.

It's yourethemannowdog.com's 10th birthday today. Enter your sites you feel are closest in spirit to the original. :-*

From Necronomicon:

Easily my favorite new feature of YTMND 2.0 is the ability to have a tiled animated gif in the background with a gif running simultaneously in the foreground. It's pretty much the greatest thing ever. So the contest is simple: make a site that makes use of this new feature in an interesting, creative, or comical way. No other limitations, go nuts.

I was going to do the ginger "hey Max" thing, but thought that was something you'd do, and too obvious. So instead of that, I'll go with.... "Artfag contest - Make an artfag site". Or is that is too racy for you, you cold call it "Pretentious ArtTMND. Make a cool arty .gif with ambient music". - jackhercules

Say goodbye to Quicktime by making gapless loops using WAV or MP3.

Let's make some holiday-themed YTMNDs!

Please do not enter older YTMNDs in this contest, as they will be removed.

Too sick to type.

Guys, I am going to make a news post soon but I've been really busy and stressed out. Please help me loosen up by making a site using Dinah Washington's "Relax Max".

Greetings and welcome to the first YTMND T-shirt design contest! Sorry for the delay, I just wanted to make sure we had all of the specifications right. I have yet to decide how many different designs we are going to print for now, but that shouldn't stop you from entering multiple times!

Specifications:

• Colors: Four color maximum.
• Locations: Two locations maximum.

Keep in mind these shirts will be screen-printed so keeping a vector version of your design will be quite helpful! I think it's preferable to not have .COM on the front of the shirt, in the past we put a small logo on the sleeve which looked like this:


This contest will run an extra week to make sure there is ample time for everyone to enter!

I want to try something new here and provide a seed asset, so your assignment this week is to create a YTMND using a sample from Ohio Players - Funky Worm (instrumental). You can cut it up or mix it however you'd like, but grab it before I get a cease and desist.

It only takes a minute to win a free t-shirt and year supply of Razor Gators on YTMND! Two winners will be selected (community best rated/Razor Gator favorite), with one site receiving sponsorship. There is no limit on contest entries, and any site with Razor Gator in it has a chance of winning.

While the "Discofinger" is a move most commonly thought of as an iconic representation of the 70s, it transcends time and still exists in today's world. We believe that it is you, the "foot soldiers" of discofinger, that are the heart of the movement. Your job is to create a YTMND which highlights this phenomenon, whether it be in da club, the wild or in your own living room. More information at discofinger.com

Create a prophetic YTMND that will enlighten the masses and prepare them for the cataclysmic events that will transpire in 2012. Someone once said that the Apocalypse is a special time in each civilization's existence, a time for all to reflect and, alternatively, run around screaming as heads explode. Be creative but take care not to stray too far from the ancient texts of the Good Book, lest ye be dowsed in swines blood and impaled upon a stake.
