It's so true
2006-08-27 04:05:54
 
So true. Sometimes a good site gets knocked off that way and people have to find them in the abyss again.
2006-08-27 04:07:34
 
Unless you (http://nsfg.ytmnd.com/) Provide links (http://whatmikeydid.ytmnd.com/) in the comments section of (http://forkheadsfuturemontage.ytmnd.com/) Popular ytmnds

You jerk, you downvoted my site for the purpose of this one! Too bad I found this mildly amusing...
2006-08-27 04:10:53
 
I actually only photoshopped the one-stars in. If you noticed, the alignment's a little off.

This is soooo very true....
2006-08-27 04:12:03
 
Oh. Neat.
2006-08-27 04:14:40
 
Sigh. This is the shame of YTMND. Downvoters and NARVs allow crap sites to stay on top while the good sites go unappreciated. That'd be the reason for upvoting right there.
2006-08-27 04:16:24
 
It's more like...recently created...ignorant/gimmick downvoting...gone until revenge downvoting.

2006-08-27 04:18:41
 
I've found that if you leave some people positive comments/votes they go on to check out your sites....at least that is what i do....and get.....sometimes.
2006-08-27 04:18:55
 
Hehe it's like a dirty trick, make a ytmnd about ytmnd's... I'd give it a lower score since it's been done before, but this is well done and amusing. It's growing on me, too.
2006-08-27 04:24:55
 
shoover: In 1982, a cactus in Phoenix, Arizona killed a man. David Grundman fired two shotgun blasts at a giant saguaro cactus that ended up falling on top of him.
2006-08-27 04:28:56
 
NOOOOOOOOO
2006-08-27 04:29:04
 
this ytmnd won't make it to the 3rd stage, cos it's gonna be stuck on the 2nd
2006-08-27 04:29:49
 
CACTUS???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
2006-08-27 04:32:29
 
the cactus bit was in response to shoover wanting to hear something he didn't know.
2006-08-27 04:44:55
 
We need a new YTMND category on main page: The YTMND abyss.
2006-08-27 04:45:29
 
For me, stage 3 is the "slow deterioration due to downvoters who find your user name and downvote all your sites."
2006-08-27 04:46:24
 
This one will survive. 5 from Me.
2006-08-27 04:46:41
 
Also, tell me something I know but have forgotten at this point in time.
2006-08-27 04:49:20
 
LOL, I hear ya, bro. I have several sites stuck in 3.75 limbo.
2006-08-27 04:53:05
 
Artman: Worthwhile section was a step in the right direction, but yeah, it'd be nice if more was done. Yoda: Yeah. It _would_ be ironic if it happened to this site, too. Korf: You left the oven on.
2006-08-27 04:58:38
 
And there's sites like mine, which are stuck with a 1.0. Sure they deserve it, but that's not the point.
2006-08-27 05:06:38
 
I had two sites on up and coming today, both fell off within a minute.
2006-08-27 05:07:40
 
too true
2006-08-27 05:09:01
 
I had one on up and coming once. People still view it at about 2 a day. Probably because it's 'epic' and includes the 'Enterprise'
2006-08-27 05:25:19
 
true, :'-(
2006-08-27 05:36:35
 
5 for truth.
2006-08-27 05:44:36
 
yeah i'm getting sick of seeing the same sh*t all day(U&C are there for hours).
2006-08-27 05:49:41
 
WRONG! Your vote decays over time from angry downvoters that check out your profile. So expect that 3.75 to lose a few points every week.
2006-08-27 05:55:45
 
Aww.
2006-08-27 06:33:37
 
I only had 2 sites that ever made it to up & coming. EVER.
2006-08-27 06:43:55
 
You made it!
2006-08-27 06:57:53
 
funny because true
2006-08-27 07:11:41
 
Actually, as long as the user keeps making decent sites then you will pick up a few more views and votes here and there. I'll agree though, if it gets rated 3.8 or lower it pretty much dies.
2006-08-27 07:18:56
 
my final fantasy 4 hentai (sfw) site is rated 3.3 but still gets a steady stream of views.
2006-08-27 07:20:38
 
OMG THE DOWNVOTERS ARE COMING!!
2006-08-27 07:36:49
 
True Dat, 5'ed
2006-08-27 07:52:30
 
The segue into "Push It" is classic. Great work.
2006-08-27 08:08:59
 
+2 for actually answering shoover's something-I-don't-know.
2006-08-27 08:09:01
 
kekeke.
2006-08-27 08:21:42
 
possibly the most random sh*t I've ever seen
2006-08-27 08:29:12
 
Truth.
2006-08-27 08:52:42
 
See: Every single one of my YTMNDs
2006-08-27 08:55:56
 
yes, there will be two slices of lemonade, two.
2006-08-27 08:59:17
 
I know this all to well...
2006-08-27 08:59:43
 
The abyss..

lifespan of average slideshow YTMND: Recently created, upvoted by NARVs, hits up and coming and gets sh*tcanned by people with taste.

awesome, truthful. upvoted!
2006-08-27 09:48:48
 
actually i had my sites come back from abyss back to up and comming. Also you hsould mention that after it goes to abyss, the score gradually decreases at a slaow rate until it evens out at about 3.4 or 3.2, depending on the initial score
2006-08-27 09:50:01
 
Tell me something good Tell me that you love me, yeah Tell me something good Tell me that you like it
2006-08-27 09:52:45
 
mine seem to average out at around 3.5 GAME OVER.
2006-08-27 09:58:59
 
WIN
2006-08-27 10:05:50
 
Depressing.
2006-08-27 10:06:42
 
lol
2006-08-27 10:18:11
 
5 for SoA music
2006-08-27 10:18:11
 
The alternative is your site stays on up-and-coming throughout the day, then gets a few thousand views, struggles to stay top 15, then fails to hold. It's like a bottle rocket on the geological calendar.
2006-08-27 10:19:51
 
Not to toot my own horn, but for evidence of how quickly a good YTMND can stall, check http://rmog-mrcantdonatetothesiteguy.ytmnd.com/ On opening day, it got three 1 votes and was only seen by random viewers again. I was bummed. :( [/wrist]
2006-08-27 10:22:14
 
Thanks for the slideshow
2006-08-27 10:23:15
 
Almost all my sites are like this. I usually dont downvote other up and comming, but it sounds like a good idea >:).
2006-08-27 10:28:31
 
:( This YTMND is so sad, it's even sadder that it's true...
2006-08-27 10:31:10
 
5'd cuz my YTMND "The Staredown" is on the Up and Coming in the background :)
2006-08-27 10:39:10
 
its happenedto me too, the best i ever did thow was still on top 5 thow,(n*gg* stole my ocarina)
2006-08-27 10:44:30
 
I have 3 or 4 YTMNDs that have had this same life. lol. My others didn't make it past phase 1. :(
2006-08-27 10:44:42
 
You're welcome, leet-shoe
2006-08-27 10:46:42
 
I can't see why a "slideshow" would necessarily be any worse than some inane fad YTMND or some stupid compilation, but that's just me.
2006-08-27 10:48:30
 
it's sad because its true :[
2006-08-27 11:10:30
 
great
2006-08-27 11:15:27
 
Just because I want this site to leave and enter the abyss. I will 1 it. I'm not in the habit of downvoting but I just don't like this site.
2006-08-27 11:22:19
 
5'd for truth
2006-08-27 11:24:22
 
Enjoy obscurity sildeshow mofo!
2006-08-27 11:27:49
 
it dies unless its a fad and would be searched. But otherwise true.
2006-08-27 11:35:34
 
lol my site is at the top of the "up and coming" part and then we both drop off of it....(Inter-Morphing Sequencer).
2006-08-27 11:37:04
 
nailed it
2006-08-27 11:48:44
 
true. but I have one stuck at 4.00 forever. So give or take .25.
2006-08-27 12:00:53
 
I dig it.
2006-08-27 12:03:32
 
Ha, so true. I loved the music with this for all the stages.
2006-08-27 12:05:45
 
nice
2006-08-27 12:07:24
 
So so true. My second ever on the Up & Coming (http://alderaanexploding.ytmnd.com/ )was only on there for about 30 seconds until some lame *ss downvoters got at it. At least my first U&C one was there for a good hour or so.
2006-08-27 12:07:47
 
thus the story of quite a few of my YTMNDs
2006-08-27 12:10:47
 
There should be a place to view YTMNDs that are 3+, too. Not necssarily on the frontpage, but it'd be better than random, with all the crap you'd find there.
2006-08-27 12:11:03
 
fail
2006-08-27 12:14:20
 
Boss: Yeah. Maybe there should be a 'lost YTMNDs' section on the front page for decently-rated sites below a certain view threshold.

this sh*t happens to me :(
2006-08-27 12:21:39
 
Interesting studies. What degree do you major in?
2006-08-27 12:22:12
 
I hear that
2006-08-27 12:26:05
 
1337
2006-08-27 12:27:00
 
I'd say it dosen't matter if it dosen't get on the front page as much how many views/votes it gets.
2006-08-27 12:27:02
 
That has happened to me so many times. Well, maybe 15 outof my 250 sites.
2006-08-27 12:31:07
 
5'd for the cactus bit
2006-08-27 12:31:14
 
Also, ranking on search pages.
2006-08-27 12:31:58
 
true. but, the sound doesnt work
2006-08-27 12:32:14
 
here is a 5, my friend
2006-08-27 12:33:22
 
Sound works fine for me, naz.
2006-08-27 12:36:01
 
Hey my YTMND went off up and coming for about 45 mins, after that it shot back up to 3rd on the list. I guess I'm just lucky huh? 5 for you because I'm not a dick who goes around downvoting the up&comings higher than me so that mine will go up.
2006-08-27 12:40:06
 
pretty accurate. but sites can fall off and get back on all the time. if you are a more active user and people are clicking your profile then it has the chance for friendly eyes to give you a hand back up for a second chance. if you never vote or comment your profile will gain cobwebs.
2006-08-27 12:40:33
 
I didn't actually downvote the U&C, that was photoshopped in (as I said a couple times)
2006-08-27 12:42:26
 
This is my life
2006-08-27 12:48:51
 
so do what dumbasses do; resubmit so i can one it a second time
2006-08-27 12:52:38
 
I agree, needs more snaxes
2006-08-27 12:55:43
 
It hurts so much when that happens, what sucks more is when it makes a trip through recent created and doesn't recieve a single vote...
2006-08-27 13:01:17
 
nice, also + for cactus
2006-08-27 13:03:20
 
if the first vote is a 1, chances are most everyone will vote 1, I've tested it out myself
2006-08-27 13:03:48
 
Thank you. the abyss ate all my sites :(
2006-08-27 13:04:11
 
That is EXACTLY what happened to my "Stan Sells EVERYTHING to YOU" ytmnd. Such a dissapointment
2006-08-27 13:04:45
 
cooke: that is true. i remember when i upvoted every site i saw for 2 hours about a week ago, the up and coming section wqas rapidly changing.
2006-08-27 13:08:20
 
unfortunatley true
2006-08-27 13:15:28
 
it's called life isn't fair.
2006-08-27 13:16:41
 
"There should be a place to view YTMNDs that are 3+, too. Not necssarily on the frontpage, but it'd be better than random, with all the crap you'd find there." Agreed, maybe 3-4.3 made in the last 72 hours, put it next to Random YTMND.
2006-08-27 13:19:07
 
IT WORKED!! I WAS THE 1ST TO VOTE 5 ON THE STUPID YTMND WITH GEORGE BUSH IN CONCERT AND NOW ITS IN UP AND COMING!!
2006-08-27 13:19
