Backstory:
+
The mini-fad began when user oracle402 created a site called 'Carmen Sandiego has been FOUND AT LAST!!!'.  With a combination of an (at the time) unknown Google inside joke and a nostalgia factor created by an original recording of the theme song from the TV game show, the site took off across the net.  The site was linked to on such humor sites as Entensity and College Humor, helping it to launch into the number 1 spot in the Top Viewed Sites and Top Rated Sites.  It kept it's spot for almost a week before it eventually drifted off both lists.

+
Unfortunately, the original creator of the YTMND deleted it, as well as his entire created YTMND collection, about three weeks after it's original creation.
+
 
+
It resurfaced about a week later when it was created again.  It's had moderate views and votes since then.  As of 07/06/06, it's the highest rated 'Carmen Sandiego' YTMND at 4.11/5.00
