| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, "YTMND is a site created for the purpose of furthering the creativity of its users. Its inspiration, You're the man now dog, was founded in 2001 after visionary Max Goldberg saw a commercial for the 2000 film Finding Forrester. Seeing that Max couldn't organize the many spin-offs the site, he created YTMND"

| − |
| |
| − | Spin-offs of what? You never explained about yourethemannowdog.com so this is incomprehensible. Also, spelling and grammar are heinous. [[User:Lina|Lina]] 02:15, June 24, 2006 (CDT)
| |
| − | :Spinoffs of yourethemannowdog.com. Yet another reason to convert the main page into an article about YTMND, then turn this into a ''real'' [[Main Page]]. But we need to talk about how its format is gonna be. --[[User:LBMixPro|LBMixPro]][[User talk:LBMixPro|<sup><lol, talk page></sup>]] 12:36, June 26, 2006 (CDT)

| − | ==Citing Sources==
| |
| − | I fear the YTMND wiki might be total chaos without the requirement to site YTMND sources (not news, but at least links to ytmnds). Seeing as YTMND users have been known to vandalize the actually wikipedia, this will be admin hell unless there are specific rules set up for editing, etc. [[User:Xioyux|Xioyux]] 13:49, July 12, 2006 (CDT)

| |
| − | :::Yes maybe, but instead of a whole PTKFGS: namespace, we could just have articles at [[PTKFGS/punchthekeysforgodssake.com|PTKFGS/article]]. But Uncyclopedia wins at creating namespaces, I mean, they create namespaces like Undictionary, and it has a different logo... and I'll test the title switching template to get rid of [[Template:Lowercase]] and [[Template:Underscore]]. --<small>[[User:Smiddle|It's Smiddle, LOL]] | [[User talk:Smiddle/userpage|What is Talk Page?]]</small> 10:07, August 29, 2006 (CDT)
