There are many features that end up forgotten in YTMND... this is where they can be added. These "easter eggs" are frequently found in Max Goldberg's news bulletins.
Contents
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.
Random YTMND
random.ytmnd.com or random.ytmnsfw.com
This link will generate a random YTMND, from YTMND.com or YTMNSFW.com, respectively.
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."
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.
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.
GABBLY Chat
Not really an official YTMND Easter Egg, Gabbly Chat is a tool that turns any website into a chatroom without software installation or even registering. It is also discussed in the YTMND WIKI article Gabbly_Chat.
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.
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.
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
Legal Issues
ebaumsworld, scientology, Sonic (PDF), and Tom Mabe
You can learn all about YTMND's legal history with ebaumsworld.com, the Church of Scientology, Sega, and Tom Mabe (from howtoprankatelemarketer) at these links, respectively. BONUS: You can find the case files for the Dustin Diamond controversy HERE (PDF).
YTMND User Demographics Survey
Users of YTMND can take a survey here about their media intake, demographics, income, etc.
SuperStar
http://ytmnd.com/superstar.php
Once a user has finished the above survey, they are rewarded with a picture of their username in the style of the YTMND logo. If one ever wishes to see the image again, they need only go to the address mentioned above.
Redirect Pages
Max has set up several websites to help misguided users. If YTMND.com is typed incorrectly, the following sites will NOT redirect:
These sites are also discussed in the YTMND WIKI article This_is_not_Y_T_M_N_D.
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.
