| down with downvoting |
| posted by max on 2006-06-10 02:38:49 |
esteemed members of ytmnd, general public, Users can no longer vote on sites they haven't viewed. No more blind voting. I have compiled a list of users with dupe accounts. There are around 3500, including some fairly well known users. I have added a feature to allow people to delete their accounts through the user options. This is mainly for people to delete their multiple alts before they get deleted. You have two weeks. Following in the footsteps of SomethingAwful , the Church of Scientology has sent me a fun cease and desist. To avoid blind voting of an entire user profiles, YTMND now keeps track of the last 25 sites you've viewed and ignores your votes if you try to vote on a site you haven't recently seen. Hopefully this should help curb the recent tide of down and upvoting. ALSO EXPECT A MAGICAL UPDATE IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS FROM SYNCANUPDATE: check out the spiffy new about page. |

| NOOOOOO we couldn't reach a thousand..... | ||||||
| Man seriously f*ck Scientology. | ||||||
| Amusing. | ||||||
| 17th | ||||||
| I want to go ahead and take this spot. | ||||||
| Yay, Scientology. | ||||||
| So CSI owns L. Ron Hubbard? lol Tell'em to f*ck themselves. | ||||||
| lol scientology vs YTMND | ||||||
| kihjuj | ||||||
| Magical updates!!!!, omg, I forsee a whole redesign or something. | ||||||
| Ya know, I think there's a specific provision for parody. I wish I had bigger balls - I'd call up that guy and tell him to suck me. | ||||||
| You underestimate the resolve of the downvoter - or angry revenge-voter. We will take the extra 10/20/30 minutes and sift through a profile if only to crush the spirit of the unwitting victim. | ||||||
| Well, the users who created those sites should see a hit increase in the next few hours or so. :) | ||||||
| Those Scientologists with their ceasing and desisting... They should just ask Xenu to put Max by a volcano and shoot hydrogen bombs at him. But that'd be rude, because we love Max. And Xenu is a figment of L. Ron Hubbard's cash-fevered imagination. | ||||||
| mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm | ||||||
| kek | ||||||
| A message to scientology:
Please, stop wasting mine and everyone else's oxygen. | ||||||
| And so my upvoting ends. Until next time ya crazy bastards. | ||||||
| max - good idea but i think im noticing that its not taking some votes now. I have to fav sites before it shows up as 5 stars otherwise it looks like i'm giving none. Is this problem just me? | ||||||
| |||||||
| Nice work max. | ||||||
| Man, your cock is tasty. | ||||||
| so, first it was Six Flags, now it's Scientology ... that's an interesting group of people who actually take legal action. | ||||||
| Aha... The 'CSI'... CSI Miami, CSI: NY? Will we see Grissom? Btw... I don't know who would win in an epic battle Scientology vs YTMND... I guess only Eric Baumann knows. | ||||||
| 38th
| ||||||
| cool, cool. this should fix the immortal ytmnds that stay on the top 5 and all the new ones that get spam downvoted. | ||||||
| So, who wants to start a new scientology fad to piss them off? | ||||||
| Hail the dark lord xenu | ||||||
| oh noes I said "Scientology" without proper authorization from the L Ron Hubbard corporation | ||||||
| those petty whores | ||||||
| Hey Scientology: it's over. The cats are out of the bags on your scam, everyone knows, give it up. Take your fortune and invest in Yen, you'll do just as well. Also, Max, you should probably just ban the ip's of people who post that "43rd" shet. You know you want to. | ||||||
| lol scientology | ||||||
| Great update. | ||||||
| lol, f*ck scientology, it's clearly satire | ||||||
| in before 50 | ||||||
| f*ck THEM | ||||||
| 50!!!! | ||||||
| thanks for doing this- one of my perfect fives went down because a bunch of jerks 1'd for the hell of it | ||||||
| btw, I think its only fair to take down the sites if they do not like it, its the civil thing to do. | ||||||
| Max, this Scientology thing could be golden for you. Think of the publicity you could get if you made this a big deal, considering all the celebs involved. (probably wouldn't end up on the news, but you never know). | ||||||
| if the church of scientology doesen't want ytmnds about them, then delete http://ytmnd.com/sites/profile/466032. Also the creator of that ytmnd downvoted me cos he actually thinks it's funny. i gave it a 1 and he gave all my sites a 1. | ||||||
| As if we didn't hate them enough already. | ||||||
| im gonna take this spot to add
donkey dick
that is all | ||||||
| magical? im excited | ||||||
| This reminds me of Tom Forsythe's battle with Mattel, over his satire photos involving a barbie doll. He beat the sh*t out of Mattel in that case, and they had to pay his legal fees. http://barbieinablender.org/ | ||||||
| awesome | ||||||
| magical update? k | ||||||
| lol internets | ||||||
| Wait.... we're causing ourselves to become falsely associated with them? Are they aware that we're making fun of them? I'm declaring war on the Church, fellows. | ||||||
| Some of the scientology sh*t is just stuff from wikipedia, I don't know how submitting stuff from a public source is copyright infringement. | ||||||
| Scientology can kiss the fattest part of my ass...and I have a fat ass. | ||||||
| thanks for the snide message on my ytmnd, max :-( :-/ :-D | ||||||
| PS the scientology letter was a fun read, thank you for sharing, lol. | ||||||
| theres a bug on my most recent site that doesn't let people vote for it even after viewing. it's on ytmnsfw if that helps. | ||||||
| 69th ??? | ||||||
| Someone needs to make a "Church of Scientology C&D: A Dramatic Reading" Also, 70th | ||||||
| !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate you Max. Lucky I got my last 3015 blind downvotes in just before the update. | ||||||
| You know those "Jesus is my Homeboy" shirts? My friends had the idea we would make a "Xenu is my Homeboy" shirt. We'd use the picture of Xenu from South Park because it'd be a good use for all that Jell-o Puddin'. | ||||||
| lol cease and desist | ||||||
| 74th | ||||||
| magicial!!!!!!!!!!! | ||||||
| Dagnabit! Scientolography dodges a bullet. | ||||||
| Who are we at ytmnd to say that Xenu didn't bring billions of people to Earth, stack them around volcanoes and blow them up with hydrogen bombs, their souls clustered together and stuck to the bodies of the living, which continue to wreak chaos and havoc today? | ||||||
| Thank you Max. finally removed the alt accounts and i can life only with this account THX A BUNCH! | ||||||
| 80 | ||||||
| Newsflash, Scientology: If it's not being used for profit, you can't do sh*t! | ||||||
| Sharing this with Operation Clambake :) ... they'll have some fun with this | ||||||
| "The signature "Ron" is registered under registration number 1686383..." OH NOES!!! | ||||||
| Max, my voting on YTMNSFW does not stick! | ||||||
| Max, the only downside to the new voting thing is the sites you can plainly see are offensive/graphic/porn/ screamers/ect, FROM THE PROFILE & ThUMBNAIL PAGE, You are forced to open & view it in order to kill the site... where as before, these sites could be easily killed before they got anywhere. Since this isn't an option anymore, PLEASE impose tougher penalties/deletions/banishments to the users who post such stuff. | ||||||
| Nice I hate when people vote on sites they haven;t seen. | ||||||
| The Sites part of user options is still buggy, clicking "Use traditional !# layout on sites" selects/deselects "Use flahs preloader where available" | ||||||
| I like how they've actually given you the URLs of YTMNDs. Which means someons has actually gone through this site consciously looking for them. | ||||||
| magic on the internet, what will they think of next | ||||||
| what does syncan has to bring for us? | ||||||
| Dont get rid of them sociology sites. Freedom of Express FTW! | ||||||
| I don't understand why they let them call it a religion. | ||||||
| Scientology sites to the front page, everyone! | ||||||
| i heard if you say L Ron Hubbard 5 times fast in a mirror the Candyman(L Rin Hubbards true form) appears and kills you | ||||||
| go home
| ||||||
| a magical update? DUCK FOR COVER! | ||||||
| Little does Scientology know, parody is a protected art form. | ||||||
| 100th lolol | ||||||
| 101st.. I'm dalmatian now, lol. | ||||||
| Could you explain exactly what to say when we email support@ytmnd.com, i have some old dupes that i dont use anymore so I'd like to kill them properly | ||||||
| Haha, silly Scientology. | ||||||
| Tehpwner2's going to be quite pissed about the removal of blind downvoting. ^_^ | ||||||
| Good ol' fair use clause and protection of parody. | ||||||
| ^tehpwner2 i believe is not a blind voter. also, 10 internet moneys says we'll have a dramatic reading of the scientology email top 15 tomorrow | ||||||
| must... resist.... calling (213) 487-4468 | ||||||
| can we delete forum accounts too? | ||||||
| QUICKLY! TO ARMS! Scientology is GOING DOWN! YTMND, defenders of the INTERNETS! | ||||||
| 1st | ||||||
| WTF?!?! 109 people just simultaneously commented? | ||||||
| lol ytmnd. | ||||||
| parody is legally protected. If there is someone in the western world that doesn't understand this site is entirely parody, they are retardaraded. | ||||||
| I'm sending them fire bombs now. Anarchist Cook Book for the win. No, Anarchist Cook Book for Great Justice! | ||||||
| Somebody get boomaga. This letter must be reinacted STAT!. | ||||||
| I am joking. But I'll probably get sued anyways because THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!!111!1one111eleven | ||||||
| thats great and all but what happend to actually deleting sh*tty sites.
this is quoted from you max
"Expect your site to be deleted if it lacks humor and includes any of the following: anime, extreme racism, hardcore pornography, anything illegal, pictures of your friends, inside jokes, etc"
why not start deleting sh*tty sites that take up space on the server *caugh* joshcubes sites *caugh* it would make the servers that much faster. | ||||||
| i love you. | ||||||
| f*ck YEAH.
Good loed saved us and claimed pawrn! | ||||||
| Also, delete Cthulu with his cake sites and santabot too. | ||||||
| This just proves that religious people have no sense of humor...even if their religion is crap. | ||||||
| You need to make sure that all votes and comments of the people you delete are gone as well as the users themselves. I still have comments from users deleted months ago. It's a not a big deal, but it would be nice to see them go. | ||||||
| That cease and desist needs a dramatic reading... | ||||||
| Tom cruise is GAY.
also this is the last post. | ||||||
| "there should be something that prompts them to vote before it lets them comment." - For the record, I think this is a bad idea because some people just don't like to vote. I'd rather leave a comment than a vote. Also, how do you determine what is a dupe account? My cousin has logged on from my IP a few times - would that get flagged as a dupe acct? | ||||||
| Also, are you going to post the list of dupe accounts so that if there are any mistakes or issues we can sort them out before the two weeks are up? | ||||||
| if you have a dupe acct. YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. DELETE IT NOW. also, I just 5'd a site without watching it (didn't wait for the preload lol) | ||||||
| MAX! GO TO THE ESPARANTO AND FETCH ME 32 DOUGHBOYS, STAT!
EVERYBODY GRAB AN AK AND GET IN THE MOTHERf*ckING VAN, THIS WAR IS ONLY STARTING! | ||||||
| A magical update by syncan? Oh joy. | ||||||
| RUN MAX, CSI IS COMING!
lol, magickal update | ||||||
| A movie company used a photo of a naked pregnant woman and superimposed the head of actor Leslie Nielsen. The photo was a parody using similar lighting and body positioning of a famous photograph taken by Annie Leibovitz of the actress Demi Moore for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. Important factors: The movie company's use was transformative because it imitated the photographer's style for comic effect or ridicule. (Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., 137 F.3d 109 (2d Cir. N.Y. 1998). | ||||||
| I couldn't even read the whole letter, but I'm sure boomaga knows what to do with it. | ||||||
| "if you have a dupe acct. YOU KNOW ABOUT IT. DELETE IT NOW. also, I just 5'd a site without
watching it (didn't wait for the preload lol)" I was reffering to the people who were worried about legitimatly sharing IPs. Plus, I want to know who is on the list ;) | ||||||
| You're the man now, Max! | ||||||
| where the f*ck to you delete? | ||||||
| And I like magical updates. | ||||||
| wtf who registers the name "ron" as a symbol? | ||||||
| god damn scientology | ||||||
| I can't believe the Church of Scientology would actually send you a cease and desist order, all because of a handful of unmemorable YTMNDs. Is this what those pricks do? Scour every corner of the internet searching for anyone who pokes fun at them? | ||||||
| the scientology letter: an epic reading :) | ||||||
| WTF? Why should YTMND have to take down the Scientology sites? They are PARODY sites.. All of YTMND is basically a parody. I think it's complete BS. Scientology is gay. | ||||||
| 145th | ||||||
| f*ck TOM CRUISE | ||||||
| I say... LET THEM COME! | ||||||
| "Is this what those pricks [The Church of Scientology] do? Scour every corner of
the internet searching for anyone who pokes fun at them?"
Yeah, pretty much. They sue anyone who makes fun of them. Find and download the South Park episode where they make fun of Scientology. Also, can't wait to see what Syncan has up his sleves. | ||||||
| LO. VE. All I need's my love machine oooohh... | ||||||
| "That cease and desist needs a dramatic reading..." esc861 wins this thread. | ||||||
| So who thinks eric bauman belongs to the church of scientology? | ||||||
| Will you be making the Wall of Shame soon? | ||||||
| Ummm... I can still blindvote... is this not yet put into place or what? | ||||||
| So we perverse Christiantology without a single word, but scientology gets a letter? rofl. | ||||||
| Yah I wanna see the Wall of Shame. | ||||||
| how come rome has not sent e-mails to max telling him to delete all the sites portraying jesus in a negative manner. O wait, catholics aren't in denials of their religion being completely fake | ||||||
| love ya, max | ||||||
| ^hahahaHAHAHAHAHA | ||||||
| right, nobody in rome believes that catholicism might possibly be a handful of false hopes. | ||||||
| Hrm... This could be bad, as I'm behind a NAT and have to share it with other people. | ||||||
| CURSE YOU XENU!!!! | ||||||
| YES! YES! GOD YES! | ||||||
| Transperant text and fad listings should be added | ||||||
| 163.. oooh yeah | ||||||
| lol, i bet if i said something bad or funny about Scientology (and I better put it in caps because they may have a big fit about that) I'd get a letter from them. Proof enough that all religions get made fun of or whatnot and the CSI cannot take a joke. Isn't CSI trademarked anyway? Copyright voilation LOL | ||||||
| ok... so... what's the deal with that stuff? A few of them have no legal infringement... Why must people be so stupid?! And what's with Syncan's update, eh? | ||||||
| Sciencefictionology? | ||||||
| 168th lol | ||||||
| f*cking scientology people are threatened by how rediculous they look on ytmnd, im sure if it were a tribute to them, they would have tried to suck you into thier enigine of doom 'er love. | ||||||
| Scientology is a big scam designed by a crappy sci-fi author. Sue me. | ||||||
| O BOY O BOY O BOY magical update!!! | ||||||
| also, cocks. | ||||||
| 171th, also scientology fails make sure you tell them I said that Max. | ||||||
| 171th lol wow I am really tired... | ||||||
| Nobody will ever read this, but it will remain here in history... | ||||||
| Danke schön, Max! Also, f*ck L. Ron, n*gg* be hatin' on us fo sho'. Praise Xenu! | ||||||
| 177th | ||||||
| Max > Church of Scientology | ||||||
| wow nice thing about that e-mail he posted...the scientologists phone number and contact information is up there for everyone to on the internet to see! | ||||||
| Deleted my upvoter. I was planning to anyway.
Also, I wonder what syncan will do...? | ||||||
| This is the beginning of the end for Scientology. I suggest every member makes an animated Scientology site, and at the end of the animation, there's a middle finger and the words "F*CK SCIENTOLOGY". Heck, why not do it with any animated YTMND? | ||||||
| suggestionsforytmnd.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| Max, explain what we're supposed to do with the email after deleting an account | ||||||
| When did Somethingawful send you a letter? I want to read that one, it'll probably be more fun than the Scientology one. | ||||||
| TO THE FRONT PAGE! | ||||||
| lol cease and desiissssssst!!!!!! HA HAH HAAAAAARRRRR!!!! xD | ||||||
| Yay for magical update from Syncan! | ||||||

| Good ol' fair use clause and protection of parody.
Also 196th | ||||||
| "In 1942 - December 17th or thereabouts - while training in Miami, Florida, I met a girl named Ginger who excited me. She was a very loose person but pretended a great love for me. From her I received an infection of gonnohorea (sp?). " -L. Ron Hubbard | ||||||
| Guys please make millions of more scientology YTMNDs! let's piss these idiots off! | ||||||
| "I have a very bad masturbatory history. I was taught when I was 11 and, despite guilt, fear of insanity, etc. etc. I persisted. At a physical examination at a Y when I was about 13, the examiner and the people with him called me out of the line because my testicles hung low and cautioned me about what would happen if I kept on masturbating. This "discovery" was a bad shock to me. " - guess who said that? | ||||||
| "YTMND.com's subscribers" ... these idiots think max is as greedy as they are. | ||||||
| CSI? Free speech? Oh, no!! | ||||||
| The owner of this whole religion doesn't know that masterbation has no physical side effects. The degree of idiocy is too huge! | ||||||
| pfft 201 : p | ||||||
| scientologests suck, who cares what they think?
they are almost *scratch that* ARE whinier then black people.
n*gg* stole their DC-10. | ||||||
| This also raises one question among many: Why hasn't the Vatican sent you an email about all your sites with an inappropriate depiction of Jesus? | ||||||
| it won't let me vote on sites even after I've viewed them, lol | ||||||
| I definitely concur. Boomaga should get on on this. | ||||||
| Why the f*ck would boomaga read that boring as hell cease and desist? | ||||||
| u told them to f*ck off, right? that sh*t is public domain once its put on the intrawebs | ||||||
| max, my brothers have accounts on the same computer I do, am i at risk? | ||||||
| syncan is an admin? | ||||||
| oh crap, i took a photo of the sky the other day, i hope i don't go to jail for copyright infringement | ||||||
| lol, real cease and desist | ||||||
| lol | ||||||
| f*ck Scientology. Damn fake religions | ||||||
| lol, scientology! | ||||||
| 1st!!!! | ||||||
| Also, my brother has an account and I have a joke account. I don't use the joke account to vote. Am I in trouble? | ||||||
| lol@scientology. | ||||||
| Sciencology?
CALL BILL NYE! | ||||||
| Also, Dramatic interpertation of Scientology letter from boomaga,
Kthx billnye | ||||||

| MAX, YOU DON'T GIVE A sh*t ABOUT THE FORUMS. | ||||||
| oh noes ur in trouble, rubble rubble! NOT RLY. | ||||||
| See bobtellsron.ytmnd.com | ||||||
| Ehh, one problem, Max.
How can i vote on NSFW sites?
Since the site doesnt allow me to give stars at the comments page... | ||||||
| Damnit, now the average score on my sites is going to go up by like 2 because the whiny little bitches can't get their revenge. Adverb will no longer be known for good sites with abysmal ratings | ||||||
| scientology is so awesome i can't wait to send them all my moneys | ||||||
| I use a shared computer, so there is more than one seperate accounts. Well... two. | ||||||
| F'n Scientologists. They're like Muslims with legal knowledge. | ||||||
| cool | ||||||
| Dumbasses. No dupe accounts. Actually vote only if you see the site. Not if you just assume that it sucks just because of the rating. Don't just follow others. Follow yourself. | ||||||
| Adverb, no, it is just because your sites really do suck. Sorry. :( | ||||||
| http://lrhsues.ytmnd.com/ | ||||||
| I am having issues voting on sites that I have seen? There not registering. | ||||||
| Magical update? I can't wait to see this! | ||||||
| f*ck Scientology. AFAIK, CSI will always mean Crime Scene Incestigation. | ||||||
| "Crime Scene Incestigation."
Oh sh*t. bad typo. THat C and V are pretty close together though. | ||||||
| The Nation of Scientology 2 shall never give in to threats. Prophet McKayla makes this known quite clearly. PRAISE BE TO XENU, DOWN WITH L RON HUBBARD | ||||||
| nice update, also, lol @ "Crime Scene Incestigation." | ||||||
| You should have the option of deleting comments you've made on your own sites, for cases where you've responded to deleted users or you've posted about an update you've made but made a mistake. | ||||||
| ANYBODY WANT A PEANUT | ||||||
| GET OFF! | ||||||
| lol, there are like 10 billion more scientology sites now. :D GG you f*ggot lawyer. :D | ||||||
| Why would a religion need so many patents? UNLESS IT'S A CROCK! NEVER! | ||||||
| so, why isn't my vote showing up anymore? All the sites I've viewed and voted for don't seem to want to count my vote. | ||||||
| I'm still getting downvoted. Geeks still have the time to view and downvote all your sites in evenge, I guess. | ||||||
| ^you only have like 8 sites | ||||||
| k max, i killed all my dupes cept one that i forgot the password | ||||||
| this means crappy sites actually have a chance | ||||||
| 253th | ||||||
| lol, f*ck scientology | ||||||
| that scientology e-mail is such bullsh*t, if they can do that to ytmnd, everyone should do that to eric bauman and all he'll have is his sh*tty website with no original material | ||||||
| I'm gonna tell Biotology Rob and Physicstology Roy about mean ole Ron. | ||||||
| quit stealing from scientology those are there trademarks | ||||||
| I think YTMND is a bigger religion than Scientology. | ||||||
| I f*ckING LOVE PARODY. YTMND WINS! | ||||||
| LOL f*ck those morons. | ||||||
| I love how the only thing in this update people care about is the scientology stuff :D | ||||||
| Shall the ACLU protect ol max? | ||||||
| no not syncan plz | ||||||
