Tomorrow Untrodden

Greetings.

I've taken the next few weeks off from work to have another YTMND development drive. This will include much-needed maintenance, bug fixes and a few new features. In addition to this, I've been working with Big Spaceship over the last month working on a new design, which I'll be implementing as well. If I have the remaining time, I'll be fixing up the admin panels and possibly adding some new mods.

So this is your chance to complain about anything (aside from the design) that's been bugging you recently or stuff you've been dying for.

I'll keep you guys updated over the next few weeks in between eating handfuls of adderall. Please provide useful feedback and bug reports. While I'm working on the new codebase, I'm going to be moderating with an iron fist. There will be zero tolerance for spamming/trolling/etc, so unless you want all your accounts deleted and to be IP banned at our routers, please try and behave for once.

Please do not bother me about being a moderator, when the time comes I'll make a news post about it.

That sign says "Applesauce". No, no, no, I'm kidding. It says "Applause". Ray, do me a favor. Can you flick that once? Alright now remember you're all a big part of the show so the better you are the better Larry is. Alright, there we go. This is exciting, isn't it?

way back in 2000 there was an inside joke going on between me and two friends where they would yell "applesauce" when I went on stage with that sign. and they did.

idea:

replace the "all time ytmnd hits" section with a "ytmnds of the day" section that randomly chooses 10 sites and keeps them on the front page for a full day

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.

New YTMND SOLIDARITY/ RETRO Feature: 56k capped download speeds!

Why? Sense of community. Everyone has the same YTMND experience. The long wait for a site to load makes the user appreciate the site more when it finally appears. And Grey Goose vodka isn’t getting any cheaper you all.


Side note: Max loves working for bitchy malcontents

Goodness! YTMND is DEAD? Damn, why didn't anyone tell me sooner?

cmon folks, i've only been here 3 years and i come back every day. Maybe in 7 more years i'll be bitter because someone isn't using their free time to take their project to where I want it. A Louis Vuitton background doesn't stop me from making a site to the best of my ability (and that's relative to sobriety) I don't appreciate earrape, but it happens so does spam and trolls(it's the internet!) Max asking for bug reports and feature recommendations doesn't warrant an onslaught of crap thrown. You say "fuck yo couch" and I say get outta my house....

I "fell for the trap" on 1/4/2008 and thought it was another in 2009 with 2.0 launch. I waited days with hope until that news post.

We all have a difference in opinion on what's funny, witty or relevant. I've got what....34 sites and only 2 over 1k views, less than half have 3+ stars....someone said earlier that we have lots of talent here, and i agree. But not everyone has those skills, are they(I) now a part of what's killing the site? Let's just say thanks max for trying, i'll see what it's like tomorrow.

No go make something funny.

i don't know if anyone has mentioned it but ytmnd needs all the usual things other sites have that make them connected

share this ytmnd on facebook / myspace / reddit / digg, etc.
something that searches for a song on amazon and gives you a link to purchase it
a way to categorize your ytmnds, similar to videos on youtube (comedy, art, pets & animals for pde10)

This sucks. I miss DragonGate. It’s times like this (Thanksgiving and Christmas) that I want to be with the one I love, but she is on the other side of the world.

Although I am sad, I am more than willing to share her with the Army. I told her more than once that I be more than accepting if she makes the Army a career. I will highly recommend to her that she stay in the Army until they no longer wanted her. Then I can have her all to myself.

Well, see ya’ later!

Another issue to add to the list:

That refresh button in the bottom-left corner of the window only seems to work properly for sites that just use a foreground. If you have both a foreground and a background, and you press the refresh button, the sound cuts out.

Okay, at the risk of sounding like I'm complaining, I honestly was not expecting very much, but I'm still curious about this. My latest site got a 4.57 and only 200 votes. How did that happen? 300 used to be the amount that kicked you off Up and Coming, and if you managed to get in Top Rated too you could probably get over 1,000, but that was way back when, I know. Users have left, but for some reason there's still discussion going on in the news. So I figured I'd ask you guys what you think.

Suddenly we have tons of users and now we seem to have a max of 200 browsing the front page every week. What happened here? Is this Hill Valley or is it Hell? What do you think caused all the users to leave? How do you think we can bring back a large userbase?

There isn't one reason why people leave. Content is the main reason, but it isn't the only one. People just move on. They find a new site to hang out. They leave because no one notices their crappy sites. They leave because of trolls or they get bored trolling here. They get other priorities like work and/or families. They leave because they got frustrated with Max and his empty promises (like Afrotech and Bloomer). They leave because they got sick of waiting three years for Max to update the site and when it did get updated they found the layout ugly. I think Sitsu left because people kept harassing him. They left because of Moon Man sites. They left because of spamming. They leave for many reasons. YTMND started it's decline in late 2008/early 2009.

I work 60 hours a week, which is why I don't come here as much and don't make a lot of sites.

I don't think we can bring back a larger userbase. YTMND isn't getting the publicity like it did in 2005 and 2006. It's a limiting medium and what was a novelty five years ago is now behind the times.

Maybe we could have better luck bringing back users if max changed the site design to that lighter one he's supposedly working on?

The way I see it is that YTMND is being run into the ground by a destructive feedback loop of doubt, frustration, angst, incompetence, apathy, disgust, and a natural loss of interest. Users have been leaving since the beginning of ytmnd's existence, but its produced only a gradual unnoticeable decline for the first couple years because the user base was quite high when ytmnd's quality was first put into doubt, not to mention that ytmnd saw enough growth to balance out user loss. As soon as ytmnd was cut off from its major supply of new users (I'm not sure what that was), it was already in permanent decay. I kind of visualize ytmnd's community history as a parabola that has fed its own decline exponentially. One cause and effect scenario being: the more people make shitty sites, the more people leave, the more people leave, the more people stop caring, the more people stop caring, the more people make shitty sites, etc. Also, there are plenty of specific cases where users only stayed because certain users made sites, so one small event could have triggered a mass abandonment, if that user was popular. I'm guessing this happened with users like mastersitsu, but I wasn't really involved in that subset of the community back then, so I can't be sure. In addition, there was demographic change when the scene from the movie 300 became a fad. I guess a lot of users felt alienated by its popularity, and decided ytmnd was no longer the place for them, because something about ytmnd felt different after that, though I still enjoyed it. Personally the spamming and quasi-popularity of moon man sites has put me off considerably. And yet, I persist.

I see there's still a lot of debate and the users still feel the urge to express their feelings and discuss about serious issues related to this website and the community. I think it's time for me to say something too.
Most of you blame the decline to the quality of the sites. That's true. That's true when the sites are [b]not[/b] the reflection of what the users feel about a show, a celebrity, a cartoon. I've always said that noise sites are annoying to the point of scaring everyone. That's trolling. I know that, because this very same reason pushed me away from this site in 2006. YES! the same year I officially joined this site! I was much more happy when dickcream was online, because that was stuff worth watching. You also complain about the downvoting practice, which is unfair to say at least. That's trolling. You also complain about stupid fads (including the racist ones.) That becomes trolling when the entire platform becomes full of them and practically useless. That rings a bell, doesn't it?

I won't express my personal reasons about the decline of this website. As you can see I just made a mostly objective list of some things that are happening on this site. If you guys are really good at looking for stuff, you maybe will find a comment I made some time ago about how this site is unmoderated: you do the math. But there's something I still need to say: blaming it on a programmer seems a little convenient to me. You can complain about a centralized management of this site, but unless you don't know how much work and hours and money you have to spend in front of a computer just to make a bunch of fat asses satisfied, you shouldn't even mention who codes this website.

You also know that by voting you have a responsibility to be reasonable and make this website healthy. I wonder why almost nobody pointed it out!

Personally I think Moon Man was a reason a lot of older users started to leave. Like the Epic Maneuver, it is the bottom tier of creativity and humor. It's no reason it attracted a bunch of retards that eventually over-ran the place.

AND THE NEWS COMMENT PAGE IS REALLY FUNNY

I was going to count but i'm willing to bet only around 20 ytmnders control the tides nowadays. And i'd say out of those 20, maybe 7 are legitimate posters with good taste.

OH I REMEMBER WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY NOW

[i]GONNA GO BACK IN TIME FOR THIS STORY[/i]

I deleted my votes a few years back, might be 2 or 3 now i'm not sure, anyway I deleted all my votes because I knew my personal tastes in sites was pretty uhh how do you put it, I won't say bad because i'm not going to jump right on and insult myself here but lets just say there were some noise and troll sites that I enjoyed, and I only accumulated like 500 votes within 4 years anyway and I was just 5 gray star voting anyway so

OKAY FUCK THAT STORY

ummmmmmmmmmmm

yeah

I can't. The design itself is finished. Porting it to HTML/CSS/JS is not even close. There are new features I have to write into the back end before the new design will even work.

I know everyone wants the new design, but my priority is fixing bugs, getting the admin panel back up fully, and finishing off the unfinished features. I want the next release of YTMND to be a lot more stable than 2.0.

Though I'm still seeing a huge amount of finger-pointing, I like the way I'm learning some info about you users, not by what idea you have of the others, but by how you express yourselves. To me it seems pretty easy to know when your arguments are justifiable and when you're just a stream of blather, like "I hit everything that moves, I don't care if I miss it, I have to do it anyway." What I don't see, unfortunately, is someone who is available to discuss objectively how to, at least, improve the general mood. Recently, I've seen a great positive response from Senor Data, and my memory came back where creativity was valued as such. Things like Senor Data are not fads per se, but open places in which you know the subject of the work you're going to create.
Someone is still suggesting or wishing some particular users as mods. I believe that moderators don't actually have an opinion on what they're moderating, they just follow a specific set of rules, so that they can reduce any misunderstanding. For example: a mod has to remove any picture containing people with a specific eye color.
Finally, I believe YTMND is less than a social network and more of a showcase. Imagine a big empty stage, open to everyone. There are enough microphones for anybody and you can:
A) jump on stage and make the sound you want contributing to a supposed "wall of sound";
B) make a mess.
It's all about what choice you believe you're making.

Also, I always have to play with the debug menu in order to see any reply on the last comment made (as long as it's hidden.)
Also, I have to expand the (hidden) comment "A" that is apparently the last, in order to see any reply to "A" and the other (real) last comment "B" that is not a reply to "A".

... I think I just made a bug report!

Since you asked I'll give you some quick thoughts on how to improve the mood: create a built in system that punishes "bad" behavior. It doesn't have to be a moderator, in fact, maybe it is best that we keep those features separate. It should definitely be democratically decided what the criteria should be though, or at the very least, it should be decided by max or someone with ytmnd's best interests in mind. A smart, automated filter, if implemented (for sites, comments, account creation) could not be swayed by personal biases and would act as a fail safe in the event that a moderator's integrity has been compromised. This means no more vigilante acts of justice that encourages an alt account arms race. Once users are reverted to the same level playing field, the motivation to troll others will deflate since a large part of it is a power fantasy fulfilled by the distinct advantages of alts. Once users realize that ytmnd is no longer going to deal with their bullshit, everyone will quickly fall in line. And those that don't will be banned. Tell me what you think, and give me ideas on how to elaborate this into something admissible.

I used to make sites on an old account back in 2006. I either forgot the password or my account was deleted. maybe I'm not even remembering the user name correctly, it has a bunch of numbers in it. Anyway, I can't find the account so I've marked it as gone. Plus, my old account sucked and I had no image editing skills back then. I only have them now because my partner and I joined a small, private server through my work (I don't know the proper name for it, I'm technology-stupid) where we upload and edit each others' video files. I've had some free time so I started making some Señor Data sites because I haven't seen a ytmnd fad in a long time and I just happened to have made this account a few weeks before it started.

But then a bunch of people started emailing me, some asking if I am the alt of whatever user, some accusing me of being other users, telling me they will vote 1 on any site I make. they also reference things I do not understand at all. This news post has almost 800 replies worth of fighting and name calling, especially between the all of the users I was accused of being, which is weird. To be honest, it made me feel pretty uncomfortable. It all seems pretty hostile.

Hey max, since so much user activity is exposed already through Spy and user profile page, I think there should be a way for site creators to view a summary of the voting history on their sites - a page where you can see each vote and who cast it/when it was cast. I'm always curious to see how my sites are received, and it would be awesome to be able to watch how they fare over time. I imagine having a "Site History" icon right next to the "Edit Site" icon, on my profile site summary page, and it takes me to a page laid out like the "activity" page on my profile.

Thanks for creating my favorite website, max. Happy New Year.

Now that Mik3m is gone (again) there's something about him that always bugged me. He always acted like he was better than everyone and claimed voting doesn't matter. Yet he always upvoted his own sites with his nedm-rules account. I've known about that alt for years and I'm sure others know about it. It never bothered me. One alt account doesn't do anything in the long run. It just seemed hypocritical. He really does care no matter how many times he claimed not to. I mean why post a couple of sites a day just for your own enjoyment? If they are only just for you, then make the mixes and copy them to your iPod. His images were mostly irrelevant. Perhaps nedm-rules isn't him, but I doubt it.

mik3m once told me in a PM that he doesn't care about ytmnd and if he could make his site private, he would. i responded by reminding him that he organized every single one of his rap mashups into like 7 albums and uploaded them onto torrents and posted the link here. in my mind, he's always been the king shit of claiming he doesn't care when in fact he cares far more than most. he also makes user inside joke sites.

God DAMN the users of this site seem to be self-serving, pandering troll sucking faggots!

Also, Max you suck! You are the ultimate in failed admin. You should sell the site to some fucking Hollywood company, or media conglomerate.

Fuck, I bet WB or AOL/Yahoo could do a better job of running this site than your faggoty ass.

Greetings.

I've taken the next few weeks off from work to have another YTMND development drive. This will include much-needed maintenance, bug fixes and a few new features. In addition to this, I've been working with Big Spaceship over the last month working on a new design, which I'll be implementing as well. If I have the remaining time, I'll be fixing up the admin panels and possibly adding some new mods.

So this is your chance to complain about anything (aside from the design) that's been bugging you recently or stuff you've been dying for.

I'll keep you guys updated over the next few weeks in between eating handfuls of adderall. Please provide useful feedback and bug reports. While I'm working on the new codebase, I'm going to be moderating with an iron fist. There will be zero tolerance for spamming/trolling/etc, so unless you want all your accounts deleted and to be IP banned at our routers, please try and behave for once.

Please do not bother me about being a moderator, when the time comes I'll make a news post about it.

one time i invited two of my friends (well, my only two friends) over for dinner at my apartment. i was in a bad mood that day and while they were in the living room playing sword quest 4, i masturbated into the milk in the
measuring cup before making the mashed potatoes. all three of us enjoyed the meal, myself doubly so... in part because i secretly knew my friends now have my seed in them, and also in part because i ate the mashed potatoes too and the thought of consuming my own seed makes me want to masturbate into more food. i fear i am in a vicious cycle at this point. someone help me? please?

Dear max,

Don't change a damn thing. Its too fucking funny to watch everyone spaz over a silly internet joke site. OMG you voted 5 on that crap site? OMG you have alt accounts? OMG, you're a troll! OMG! OMG! OMG! I'm going to throw a motherfucking TANTRUM AND DOWNVOTE!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! OMG I'm going to do that with all 50 alt accounts and PM all my friends to do the same. OMG why won't this user just quit and leave? OMG!!!!!

Without that sort of drama I'd have to do something more constructive with my life, like masturbate or get a job.

check out my impression of ytmnd:

"Mom! Billy is touching me!"
-
"But mom, Suzy touched me first!"
[i]Mom ignores the childish argument[/i]
-
[i]the children continue their childish argument until mom finally comes in and tells them she bought them both new bicycles (the bikes are kinda shitty though)[/i]
-
[i]the kids are distracted by their new bikes for a short while, and suggest to their mom gifts she can get them that might be better next time[/i]

"Mom, billy tried to break my bike"

etc.

Have it be known that the 40 or so comments made on here tonight stem from a site created by eightbitprodigy. It was a good site. It was well-made and it had a few harmless jokes thrown in it. It had a 4.32 rating until it was hammered by all the gr33nscr33n alts I mentioned. I don't know why he did it. It's not like he was countering anything, since eightbitprodigy, to my knowledge, has never used alts in any way. I honestly don't know how much Umfuld contributed to it, but there is a confirmed Nothingman vote within the site's comments. Here's the site where you will find blatant evidence of cheating with alts in the comments:

[site maxdestroysytmnd:site]

Going back a couple weeks, here's another comment page with massive amounts of cheating:

http://ytmnd.com/sites/953046/profile

Umfuld is simply spewing out his hate for me, calling for a ban or a deletion. And his excuse is because I'm not voting the way he thinks I should on specific sites. He can call it trolling if he wants, but there is such a thing as freedom, so he doesn't really have a case. And he complains when I bring his name up...well, you've banned him from commenting once before, so you probably know that he does this type of thing all the time too - bringing up people he hates in conversations. Me, lacrossestar83, DarthWang, wisdumcube (2008-2009 era), etc.

Want to fix YTMND? Get rid of the alts, get a new contest started, and rejuvenate your razor with your Razor Gator.

This is what the death throes of a website looks like. It's unsightly.

Thank god, I possessed the restraint to not take shots at any of the 10 remaining active users, or provide condescending advice that was poorly worded and/or too abstract to understand that would prove to be embarrassing for my self-image!

...Oh wait, fuck.

Well, I'll just pretend that everything in the news except the comment that was rated +13 doesn't exist.

...Oh man, one of those comments is rated as low as uncircumcised's!?

What is it about ytmnd that brings out the crazy? Well, I guess it being a dumping ground of the worst behavior on the internet produces a sort of psychosis in certain people that causes the observer's mind to mentally wretch in pure terror at the absurdity of the world that its users have created, which produces the delusion that it might be a good idea to get involved (even ironically) and that everything you say isn't totally ridiculous given the full context of the situation.

I... need to go.

I generally, well, beyond this site, consider psychologizing my peers rude but, since it seems to be the norm here, I'll join this game. I'm corpulent, covered in acne, asexual, and downright so repulsive that, if I'm to be the game in any argument, the hunter may as well abandon the cause for greener pastures and healthier prey. Or, at least, maybe that's what we should always imagine of our opponents on the Internet.

Dear Uncircumcised,

nobody gives a shit about what you have to say. You post your inane shit EVERYWHERE and half of the comments on this news post are your FUCKING IDIOTIC RAMBLINGS AND SHITTY SITE LINKS.

Just shut the fuck up already. SHUT UP! Take a look at the ratings on your shitty comments. Nobody wants to read your horseshit.

SHUT THE FUCK UP. Just SHUT UP. SHUT. UP.

max had the right idea when he comment banned you, and it obviously should have been a permanent thing. You contribute nothing to this site. You are probably YTMND's most pathetic, worthless user. And THAT is really saying something.

before I completely lose interest in this site, I want to say that Prariedogeric10 was so aggressively retarded that he changed the culture of YTMND and was the driving force towards changing this place into a dump.

I want this fact to be recorded so future generations will learn from this mistake and not let it happen again.

Another little 2.0 glitch that is sort of annoying is the way that everything freezes up after you get an error message. Like if you get the "What?" or the "You can't comment 30 seconds blaa blaa" then try and do anything else, you can't do anything without reloading the entire page and starting over.

Also, the site creator will freeze up every time after you upload assets if you just hit "save" first without uploading first. So... you hit save, then it automatically uploads the assets, then it freezes up on the "saving" part and won't go to the next step.

Cocks?

so when are we going to get a shitload of people to do a big conference call on skype and we discuss how to improve the site

in before uncirc doesn't do it because he knows everyone will make fun of his voice, gr33nscr33n doesnt do it because pde10 is there, umfuld would never let his voice be heard in fear of someone recording it, lacrossestar spamming it with noise, rodheh eating mexican food, comradvolk playing music, me probably talking about something gay like final fantasy, max not being there, steakman insulting everyone, and special guest appearance HALO1GAMER says some few words and no one remembers who he is but me so they just kick him out of the chat

and don't tell me to go to the fucking ytmnd vent, it's the same people that were in there when it was first created talking about the same old shit, they don't even have anything to do with ytmnd they are just a group of internet addicts talking about 4chan and porn

Max, you should have an employer. You should work for someone.

You are one of those guys that is kinda smart, but absolutely needs someone to whip them every single day to produce anything...ever.

All your whining about leg cramps and pills is just baby talk too, get some god damn exercise! You are just making excuses for yourself.

PS, if you ever wonder why so many bitching sessions occur on this site, it is because of you. Your general neglect as regards what, for some, is a social and creative outlet, has disenfranchised many worthy contributors, and turned many others into whining, pedantic, knee biters.

Max, it is all your fault, and you suck because of that. Do something about your extremely misleading "latest" post, you lazy cunt!
