Clicking on the YTMNDEAD grave will take you to the regular YTMND. Max had a news post mentioning [http://ytmnd.com/news/?news_id=86 "we've only just begun"]. The day after April Fools day, the YTMNDEAD page was taken down, though the news post wasn't updated until the following day, when Max finally made a new news post called [http://ytmnd.com/news/?news_id=87 "rocky raccoon"] where he admits the joke. | ||

TO DO List
This page has ideas, completed changes, and suggestions for improvements to YTMND. It is not editable by non-administration. The place to suggest your ideas is the YTMND WIKI.
YTMND Spy
The YTMND Spy, via news post on August 1, 2006, is also discussed in the YTMND WIKI article YTMND Spy. It displays a live view of users' comments, votes, and registers, with an option to view the activity for only the viewer's sites.
YTMND Statistics
This "nifty feature" was brought to our attention in an April 15, 2007 news post. It uses flash to display running statistics for user vote spread, user moderation vote spread, and comment data over the past 24 hours.
Unfortunately, as of November 10, 2007, this page gives a 404 error.
Special YTMNDs
Random YTMND
This link will generate a random YTMND.
random.ytmnsfw.com used to generate a random YTMNSFW, but redirects to random.ytmnd.com since YTMNSFW was destroyed.
The Truly Random YTMND Creator (almost assuredly NSFW)
This link, given to us on April 5, 2007 by max in a news post, takes random text, a random image (be it animated or not), random placement of the two, and a random sound from four random sites in the YTMND database and combines them to create an original, "truly random" YTMND that, to quote max, is often "better than most users' "serious attempts" at making a YTMND."
Row Your Boat
In max's YTMND rowrowrowyourboat, he proposed that users create their own YTMND's with audio of the song 'Row, row, row your boat' and post the addresses in the comments of that site. Users responded, and soon this link was created: it gives a steady stream of 'popups' of the users' websites, creating a cyber-canon of the song.
Popups Please
ytmnd.com/sites/profile/755017
During the madness of the The Night of the Unicorns, max made the profile page for shadydragon's site popupsplz.ytmnd.com produce pop-ups for anyone who clicks it! This continues on today, making it the only ytmnd that produces pop-up ads.
Unviewable YTMNDs
This WIKI page presents us with a list of sites that can't be viewed for various reasons.
Special Assets
The "lol" Collection
A curious collection of random images (11 in all) buried deep within YTMND's asset management system.It is likely that these images were placed there by max as a test of the asset system or image uploading. Here is the full set of them:
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol1
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol2
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol3
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol4
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol5
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol6
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol7
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol8
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol9
- content.ytmnd.com/assets/images/lol10
Unfortunately, the links no longer work.
Forbidden
It shows a 403 error.
Down!
content.ytmnd.com/assets/flash/down.swf, content.ytmnd.com/assets/flash/down_alt.swf, www.ytmnd.com/info.nd/down.swf
From time to time, when YTMND.com is down for a bit of maintenance, an error page will appear (the "Current reason the site is down" changes with each occurrence) explaining the incident with one of these two songs playing in the background. Other times, we just end up with another Night of the Unicorns...
YTMND Shirts
A couple of pictures showing possible YTMND T-shirt designs. Also, the old shirt order page can be found here
YTMND Ringtones
http://ytmnd.com/ringtones.html
YTMND April Fools jokes
Since Max Goldberg purchased YTMND.com on April 1, 2004, it has become something of a tradition for him to play jokes on April Fool's Day. Each prank has spawned off a number of YTMNDs...
2005
Teens4Christ
A year after its creation, on Apil 1, 2005, max turned YTMND.com into a !!CAUTION: NOT WORK SAFE!! disturbing flash.
2006
YTMNDworld
On April 1, 2006, as an allusion to (parody of?) YTMND's conflicts with ebaumsworld.com, max set up YTMNDworld and freaked out a large number of people.
2007
YSPACE
YTMND users were suprised on April 1, 2007 to discover that when trying to access YTMND.com, they were shown a page describing "YSPACE". When a link was clicked on that page, users were then shown a flash of the current president of the United States then, George W. Bush, with keatonkeaton999's song "You just fell for the trap" playing in the background. Afterwards, max mentioned it in a news post.
2008
YTMNDEAD
Max decided to "shut down" YTMND, with the page looking like this. It was also playing this. Clicking on the YTMNDEAD grave will take you to the regular YTMND. Max had a news post mentioning "we've only just begun". The day after April Fools day, the YTMNDEAD page was taken down, though the news post wasn't updated until the following day, when Max finally made a new news post called "rocky raccoon" where he admits the joke.
Content from the page:
- http://content.ytmnd.com/mission.gif
- http://content.ytmnd.com/ytmndead.gif
- http://content.ytmnd.com/the_end.swf
2009
YTMNDChan
YTMND's frontpage was changed to imitate 4chan. User KeatonKeaton999 was again asked to create a song for the occasion, and the subsequent background sound of the day was HeHe Mix.
Peeing Horse Frontpage
http://ytmnd.com/index.lol.html
From time to time max changes the front page to be filled with animated images, random background music, etc. The above link displays the image of a horse peeing a rainbow on the YTMND front page. Occasionally, this link doesn't show the horse in front of Up & Coming, but instead distorts the front page a bit. This link is useful for browsing the front page on the rare occasions when the front page itself is down (but not when the entire site is down).
Unfortunately, as of November 10, 2007, this page no longer exists.
The YTMND Mosaic
This site is a simple flash device featuring a picture of Sean Connery from the original YTMND, yourethemannowdog, that the user can manipulate. Don't forget to zoom in, though, as it says in the January 23, 2006 news post. The image is really a mosaic of the first 100,000 YTMNDs!
Sponsors
This page shows how YTMND is doing financially, from sponsors. It shows the total money raised and needed through sponsors for past and current goals. Unfortunately this page now just links you to a error page.

Max has set up several websites to help misguided users. If YTMND.com is typed incorrectly, the following sites will redirect:
Two different sites may appear from these links, determined from a contest. The two winners were nutnics and typogra.

Recent Searches
This page lets the user see 18 of the most recent searches in YTMND.com, just like users used to see in the old YTMND.com layout's front page.
YTMND Clipboard
The YTMND Clipboard, it is said, was created on a whim by max many moons ago. Users would get the option of YTMND.com accessing their computer's clipboard when viewing a YTMND. If they consented, the contents, if in a text format, would be added to the YTMND clipboard. Alas, the feature was disabled some time later.
Unfortunately, as of November 10, 2007, this page no longer exists.
Argon Lasers
If you happen to go here wandering around, you get a message of no color with nothing but a simple message. Previously this was a way to link a vote to any user, but it was replaced with the message.

Archive Of YTMND Contributions

Again from the Wayback Machine, these were ytmnd-like sites (contributory to yourethemannowdog.com) that were around before ytmnd.com existed. They were subsumed into ytmnd culture.
