Dear Max,
We hope this note finds you well. Your Webby Awards entry YTMND.com in the Viral category, has moved on to the next round of Webby judging. For this stage, in addition to the URL and entry information you've already provided, we now need a 2:00-3:00 minute, high-quality version of your entry, highlighting the segments or portions of your work that you feel best represent the overall piece.
Along with your original URL and entry information, this reel will compliment your entry throughout the next phases of the judging process. Should your entry eventually be honored, this clip may be:
* Used to showcase your achievement to Webby Voice Voters and the public at large at Webbyawards.com.
* Aired live at The Webby Film & Video Awards in New York City in June 2007.
* Used to promote your achievement in broadcast, traditional and other forms of media.
-------------
Your task, should you choose to complete it, is to create a 2-3 minute high res video that highlights why YTMND is so awesome. Due to me only being notified about this today, we have until Wednesday. Try to upload a copy somewhere and email me at max@ytmnd.com.
If you make the best video your work will possibly be broadcast at the webbys and you will also receive a free print of every shirt I ever sell in the future.
EDIT: This video obviously needs to be work safe, and the goal here is to highlight YTMND's good side, not a fad compilation that no one outside of the site would understand. The goal here is to make something that other people can "get".

Sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime chance at fame for me. But, I think I'll pass, Max. Now, I can create ytmnds, yes, and I have a certain degree of video and internet knowledge, but I don't have anything in possession that can record my voice crystal-clearly (well, my digital camera can do that, but it would not only waste all the power in the battery, but it would sound extremely fuzzy. Not good for ytmnd's community, eh?). I'll just give 5 thumbs up to whomever can go all out with this. That's good!
max... how about you just make a statement and do yourethemannowdog.ytmnd.com, or whatever that original url was... just submit that, then "remember your fundamentals" and then screencaps of the site with all the lists of sites, or just tons and tons of "classic style" ytmnds that only play one or two loops through. I'm in college and don't have a camcorder or the time (or health, right now), but of course since it's coming from me, i think this is a sweet f*cking idea.
Who the f*ck are they, coming in and telling ytmnd what to do? F*ck them all, I don't need some panel somewhere buffering my self esteem and validating everything I do. You want to make a statement and show them what the site is really about? Send in a video of Dr. Leet pleasuring a Shetland pony with the caption "If wishes were fishes" and then sell their logo to a porn site.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am a Sony Vegas 7.0 extraordinaire. I've been doing video editing and producing for like the past 6 years. O_o; here are some samples of what I can do in 30 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHOhwzyJK4g ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncrfIPRGCPw ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, c*cks. But seriously, I would like to create an entry and make this maybe a 4 hour project. That would look real nice. Send a PM. I'm serious. Safety not Guaranteed!
I have no video-editing experience, but here's my idea. Start with the original site, with three voice loops. Follow it with a Facemelter. Then the Geordi Epic Maneuver. Then several funny 80's rock-music YTMNDs (15-30 seconds worth). Then... DEW!!! A few fads, like LOL, Internet!!!, Conan Is A..., Only Weakness is Stairs!, GameBoy/Tiger YTMND, etc. Then, about 1:30 into the video, The Unfunny Truth, followed by Blue Ball Machine. NEDM! Then, a few of the odder ones. End with http://drcox.ytmnd.com

Last night I had some stupid *ss dreams. I'll tell you about them. There was a snake in my bed and it kept popping out and shooting venom. Then later, I dreamed that the mailman was purposely ruining my mail by dipping it in a cup of coffee. I saw him. I then called him up asking why I didn't get a certain piece of mail and he said he wasn't sure. Then I told him I saw what he was doing and he admitted to it and was playing dumb (he had a foreign accent). Then I told him to f*ck off, or something like that.
On a computer, arbitrary-precision arithmetic, also called bignum arithmetic, is a technique that allows computer programs to perform calculations on integers or rational numbers (including floating-point numbers) with an arbitrary number of digits of precision, typically limited only by the available memory of the host system.
Oh, and fourest, since you're all cool now, the new ultimate fgt is cubetriangle... I 1d his site and before I could even submit my comment I had a PM from him bitching about the vote, then he e-venged all my sites with a sh*tton of alts. I don't hang out on spy, so I don't know just who they are, but I checked out all the other downvoting alts tonight and I haven't been hit by them. Sad, really.
If someone is reading this... I must have failed. This star "NAJU" was our home, but we were invaded by evil life-forms. Everyone except me was killed. I am going to try to activate the self-destruct device. If I fail, I would like you to do this task so this cannot happen to any other race. The self-destruct mechanism is protected by a safety device which is located in the underground corridors. Remove each seal and go deep inside NAJU. If you destroy all 10 safety devices, the self-destruct sequence will be activated. I don't have much time. I hope this message will not be read by anyone... It will mean that I have failed.
Immutable arbitrary-precision integers. All operations behave as if BigIntegers were represented in two's-complement notation (like Java's primitive integer types). BigInteger provides analogues to all of Java's primitive integer operators, and all relevant methods from java.lang.Math. Additionally, BigInteger provides operations for modular arithmetic, GCD calculation, primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few other miscellaneous operations.
alts that got my rave site, i took a screencap if anyone wants to see, but here are the alt downvotes, ALL in a row...GucheHair, themaninthebush, Phonix, ChrisHansen, whatinthehell, whatinthef*ck, whatinthemiller, whatthef*ck, whatamiller, f*ckpizza, f*ckpizza1, f*ckpizza2, f*ckpizza3, f*ckpizza4, f*ckpizza5. YTMND is going to sh*t.
I'm deleting the user deletion queue. It's around 1600 people that had asked that their accounts be deleted over the last couple years. After that I'm going to recalculate all site scores. As for alt accounts. I have plenty of scripts to find them, and it's pretty good at it. The problem is that I am the only person that currently has access to see and verify this information. The new moderation system should clear a lot of the alt account problems up.
"is it fun to spend 1/2 your life camping ytmnd spy so you can
find 15 alt accounts destroying your sites' chances in two seconds?" - hey douchebag long time no hear from. but many people already knew about the alt accounts before that - they were completely open with it and pm'ing people to brag. i just took the initiative in you know, telling people who didnt know they were sacked.
Until we get computers that can do everything for us and take over the world, we still require human assistance. I look forward to the new moderation system.
And klasky, nobody wants to get their sites downvoted instantly by alts. It ruins the chances of the actual good sites. Don't you want your test sites to not be downvoted 15 times by someone who wants to screw you over?
I wouldn't.
"All I say is that if you have have an alt, and I think I've got like 10 by now. Just
don't cast any votes with them and you're all good." = I agree non voting alts are harmless, however if you have a bunch of them you cant assume you wont get deleted in a batch dupe deletion... its not safe to assume theres checks in place to differentiate between votehacking dupes and experimental/joke dupes.
