the best part was people sending me links to wiki articles telling me when i started my own website.
the part about my finger having nerve damage is true though :(

That option was actually intentionally crippled and never removed. It was neat statistic, but took too much server power to do on a constant basis. There is a lot of small stuff like that all over the site, and rather than fix them all on the live site I'm doing it in the refactoring so I don't have to manage two completely different code bases.
Actually if it had stayed 'down' for longer I could have made my OMG YTMND IS DEAD site... I was going to use McFly kneeling at the grave, saying 'No... it can't be... this has to be a dream' and then Darth Vader wearing red sunglasses would say 'Search your feelings you know it to be true' and then 'ALL RIGHT SUCK MY DICK!' I could still make it I guess but it would make even less sense, especially if I included the flying lobster with a mustachio.
He could claim to have sold the site to an ebaum style aggregate... he could actually shut it down for a day... He could screw up the voting somehow... he could instill some kind of censorship system that was really strict... or he could ...
...
really close the site down and see how long people think it was a prank
ytmnd is not dead. although after that convincing message posted tuesday i thought it really was going down and it was to be over. for now on, i declair that if u post a bad site that is REALLY bad then u should go off ur self. not really off ur self, that could get messy. just sack tap ur self a few times
You are diabolical, Max. While I didn't really buy it on Tuesday, I was starting to believe it yesterday because of all the things Creeppipe was saying on the site Fearcondom made. So the question is, were they in on it or was this part of the scheme to make everyone believe this is the end? To think of all the sites I could have downvoted yesterday, but didn't. Damn, now I have to finish my Van Halen site now that I teased it enough.
max, I'm thinkin YTMND could definitely do with some extra advertising elsewhere, in order to bring in more traffic, just like it got with Attack of the Show and everything similar. I'd recommend following kepledon's idea of trying to appear on the Colbert Report. I was a bit skeptical of the idea at first, but now that I remember Colbert already played a YTMND (the iPod Colbert one) on his show, it should be a lot easier to do it.
