Greetings,
Now I know it's been a while since you've heard from me, but don't let that fool you, I've been busy!
Read more for info on all the new junk I've added.
New Site Creator/Editor
I've been working on this for a while and am pretty tired of it, as such it hasn't received a lot of testing, so I expect it to be pretty buggy for a few days. If you encounter reproducible errors, post here or send me a PM.
I've also added a "Holiday YTMNDs" content box, if your site has a keyword like: christmas, kwanza[a], ha[n]nukah, chan[n]ukah, etc, it will be in the running for this box. As always, keyword abuse is grounds for site deletion, so don't try and cheat.
I am also working out a new system for limiting edit changes, you can read about it here and discuss it here.

New Site Creator/Editor
- New multiple step process for creating and editing sites.
- Stateless session allows you to begin creating or editing a site, close your browser and come back later to finish it off.
- Domains are now automagically reserved when you start the site creation process.
- Nifty uploading screen with sound!
- Dupe checking for titles, images and sounds complete with insulting warning messages.
- Color picker GUI.
- Site Preview!
- Site and User Citation: Back-reference other sites or authors and it will link them on the profile page.
- "Classic YTMND" classification for a future content box.
- Ability to set your own sites as NSFW.
- Live update of site keywords.

! Max, doubt you'll ever read this but I hope others will follow (and hats off to those who already have said something); Please, please make NSFW YTMNDs default as viewable on the main page. Many very funy YTMNDs are not being viewed because most don't know about the option to view the front page. The front page is like the holy grail. Don't deprive passer-bys of it. Embrace the racism, nudity, and profanity that makes YTMND great.
On default settings, the Up and Coming shows (for me, since I have a list of 20 for the U&C) 20-x sites, where x is the amount of nsfw sites. Thus, if we can get 20 nsfw sites upvoted into the up and coming, it will cease to exist for regular users. Also, as dyskrasia pointed out, nsfw sites that are on the up and coming will never reach their vote limit and will last until the maximum time since completion is reached. Pretty stupid.
