a journey to reedham (7am mix)

I'm hard at work on the new site creator, which turns out to be a lot more work than I originally thought. I'm well aware of the plethora of issues currently plaguing the site, and I'm working on them as diligently as possible.
Current issues:
So anyway, back to the new site creator and all its magnificent features.
As you can see from the flow chart, it's a much more intensive process than it is currently (at least from a programming standpoint). New features include:
Current issues:
- YTMNSFW voting I've put a hack in place to make voting work any time you click a nsfw link from the front page and browse pages, there are still some issues when you just type a url directly into your browser and I'm working on it.
- The Search The new search is more or less useless due to the lack of sorting capabilities. The search engine software I'm using is in the beta stages of sort ability so very soon it should be able to replace the old search. The reason the old search was removed is that it can no longer be updated at any reasonable frequency due to technical constraints. I think for the time being I'm going to switch back to the old search and just have to live with it only being updated a couple times a week.
- The site is too orange. Great, I get the fucking point, it's been two weeks. If it's still an issue for you get the fuck out. I may add a color scheme option at some point but it's not nearly as much of a priority as a great deal of new features.
- Site Moderation - Killed Sites I'm in the process of designing a whole new tiered moderation system with more of a self policing element to it. As it is roughly around five sites get killed per day, and usually with good reason. In the next week or so I should be inviting the current moderators to discuss all of the new moderation system and its strong and weak points. Which leads me to my next point:
- Gimmick accounts/Vote bots/Dupe accounts
- Shirts Yes, I'm aware you want shirts, I'm in the process of setting up with a new printer/fulfillment shop, so it's still in the works.
- Content box tweaking A few of the content boxes need to be tweaked so they change more often, ironically people seem to be complaining about top viewed not changing enough when the algorithm hasn't changed from when they were begging to have it back. Up and coming needs its vote cap reinstated as well as a few other issues.
- You Yes, you, get out.
I'm acutely aware of the plague of dip shits who think they've reinvented funny by commenting and voting the exact same way on every site ever created on YTMND. Not only is this shitty from a technical aspect, I'm fucking sick of hearing people complain about it as well as having to see it myself. I've already written scripts to weed gimmick accounts out, I just need to sift through them and make sure I don't pick up any innocents. At this point, dupe accounts have become numerous as well, and I have a gigantic list of those as well. I want you to be well aware using automated voting will result in not only your account deletion and an ip ban, but any of your linked ips. This means if your friends use your computer or vice versa, or your entire college shares the same ip, everyone gets deleted and ip banned. With any luck I'll kill the entire site.
So anyway, back to the new site creator and all its magnificent features.
As you can see from the flow chart, it's a much more intensive process than it is currently (at least from a programming standpoint). New features include:
- the ability to reserve a sub-domain for 24 hours.
- the ability to close your browser or navigate away from the site creator and then come back and pick up where you left off (with a 24 hour expiration as well)
- a nifty new dupe check system that warns you if you've: used a title that's been used previously, used an image/sound or combination that's already been used.
- "Original Content Tuesday": On Tuesdays, users will only be able to upload images and sounds never used before on YTMND.
- Color Picker for the hex inept
- Preloader update: option to auto-resync, automatically will hide site text until fully loaded.
- Live preview window: the ability to change one thing on your site and reload a preview window for easy tweaking.
- New "Classic YTMND" classification: will make for some new content boxes
- The ability for users to mark their own sites NSFW
- Hooks for a feature that's been needed for ages: Alerts. Alerts will allow you to be notified when a friend creates a site, when a certain image, sound or string in a title is used, etc.
As well as a bunch of other junk.

"internetfr.ytmnd.com was killed.. a site that I put EFFORT into... no fair..
where's da love. =/" Quoth the KaneRobot: "If someone wants to take their whining to the next level and really feels something was unfairly judged, PM me with the address and I'll take a look at it. If it's fine, I'll mark it so it's off the killed
list. IF it's debatable, I'll flag it so Max can take a look at it at his leisure."
nutnics: "Max, disallow mods to delete sites." Mods can't delete sites. They are still there, just not visible until they are either marked ok or deleted by an administrator like Max. One rogue mod isn't a reason to strip everyone of their powers. ieatbabies: "Your mods need to take each other's dicks out of their asses." Keep your sick fantasies to yourself, ignorant f*cktard.
just wanted to back up stateofmind on the Killing of his site - http://ytmnd.com/sites/profile/571568 - absolute bullsh*t - whatever mod killed that needs to be locked in a cage and fed only a diet of a quarter of a fish biscuit for two unpleasant weeks. i urge a hurry on these new mod invites, whoever this rogue mod is, is a true problem.
max- I got all of your PM's asking me to be a mod, but you've sent about 40 and I can't read them all. Sorry I don't have the time to be a mod and I hate being hated so I just can't do it. I appreciate the thought though... I nominate MasterSitsu to me a mod in my place. I'll bring you some antiseptic later.

I don't know if this is the proper forum, but I've wanted to say this for some time. Max, I would personally like to thank you for all the hard work in creating this website. All the artistic genious & humor that goes into some sites are all worth it. I would like to submit my own, as I do have ideas, but I'm too poor to even own a program like Photoshop. It's pretty gay. But my appreciation for you is solid. Thanks a bunch!
I love this site. ytmnd is my internet black hole. Before I found this site I was in tune with all that was traveling around the internet. I have seen everything, and frankly sh*t was on a loop, randomly popping up on an 8th month cycle. Then I stumbled into this place, and I never wanted to look any place else. It's like mr. toads wild ride, nothing will ever get better than right here. God bless the internet, and god bless ytmnd.
^ "check out this dumbass - http://ytmnd.com/sites/profile/632803 - registered two accounts with almost the exact same name to openly upvote himself. way to go, smart guy." ... I've been told (seriously) that it's perfectly okay to have multiple accounts to upvote yourself and downvote others, apparently everyone has multiple accounts and max doesn't care. insert fish biscuit catchphrase here.

Wow, look at all these *ss kissers. Well, I for one think you SUCK ASS, max. You managed to take a good site and sh*t all over it. A color scheme that crawled out of a skunk's *ssh*l*e, a completely counter-intuitive layout, a piece of sh*t search engine, and a bunch of sh*tty new features that are completely useless and uncalled for. Why don't you concentrate on getting the site back to being decent instead of adding all this stupid new sh*t no one cares about

i don't know if this is possible for the programming since it would be different for every single user and possibly put a strain on the database, but is there a way to have the sites sort specifically to our accounts in our profiles on what we have as our personal top voted. I'd like to be able to go through the sites I 5'd and fav them without digging deep into the site list. its mostly laziness on my part to even ask about this.
i'm just amazed at how naive people are with this transformers thing. this is the second high rated ytmnd i've seen campaigning for a certain fad type line. the winning line is not necessarily what gets the most votes, its up to the contest runners what they pick, and they're certainly not going to pick something they dont understand. "n*gg* stole my bike" could win by ten billion votes and it doesnt mean sh*t.
ClassicTMND? How obnoxious. Just plain stupid actually. They even got the phrase "Picture/Sound/Text" wrong. The first guy I saw making one of these has been a member for 1 day. ClassicTMND? YTMND? IT'S THE SAME THING! I FEEL LIKE I'M TAKING CRAZY PILLS! Mods, kill any site with ClassicTMND in the title! Because if you can't get the job done, I WILL! DIE!!! *throws Mugatu weapon thing at idiots*
Oh, and plz will you stop all these lazytown pedogelion sites...it's like people can't find original ideas...seriously, has a single person ever made a ytmnd involving a clip from Bill Nye? With the exception of phases of matter...nothing. Lots of great ytmnd material (PST, SFF, you name it), wating from that show.

Dr-L337, you're already an admin. Might as well be. This is Dr-L337.com. Or it might as well be. I used to hate fads. Now I'm drooling for another cake-baking happycat. Every time I pop in here, I hope I don't see your collective sh*t on the front page. Every day for the last month or more I've been disappointed. You win. The site is yours.
