>On August 29, 2016, Max Goldberg announced that YTMND would likely soon be shutting down, citing ill health and the site's inability to fund its own hosting fees from ad revenue. Goldberg stated "Besides being a time capsule I don’t really see a reason for it to continue to exist... It seems like the internet has moved on...And I’ve moved on too. I don’t have much interest in the site beyond it being good memories."[11] Despite this, the site remains open as of March 2019. On May 12, 2018, the site stopped accepting new user signups as a result of Google shutting down version 1 of its ReCAPTCHA anti-spam mechanism. On May 12, 2019. On May 13th, 2019, the website was permanently shut down; any attempts to connect to the website now results in timeout errors.
I remember being in computer lab in school and visiting a YTMND page that showed Christina Aguilera with swastikas carved into her head. The proctor remotely viewed my computer and asked what the fuck is wrong with me.
Had a lot of fun with this site. Even made stupid shit that occasionally made it on the front page for extended periods of time. To think we just made content for the sole purpose of getting noticed and laughing rather than trying to make money.
I would probably not know or care about music from outside the USA if it were not for ytmnd, but thanks to this website my high school years were full of super eurobeat and other amazing music from around the world and the internet
steamsteamlol really summed up early 2000s web culture. Everything was fun and exciting, nobody took shit seriously, and everyone was entertained by simplistic silly shit
Recently I learned the original Space Jam website is still being maintained by Warner Bros. You can even still watch tiny Quicktime videos of "behind the scenes Michael Jordan" clips if you have a browser that supports it. It's got the stupid fucking background every 90s website had and it had no cohesive layout whatsoever. Stuff like that is so rare today.

Don't even know what this irrelevant boomer tier site is. Clearly it had little to no impact on the world since no one has ever heard of it.

Downloaded the soundtracks again a couple weeks ago. I'll miss the site but I suppose it had it's time.
Jayden Hill
Nothing will fill the void in my heart. Not even Doom music.
Benjamin Barnes
Yeah, before normies and SJWs infested the place. You the person who makes an ass of themselves at a funeral aren't ya?
wtf, he's been posting for weeks, it just keeps going. holy shit.
Justin Brown
This guy's crazy, look at his videos.
Ryan Long
>lol, internet >NEDM >Nigga stole my bike >Picard song >Tourettes guy >Brian Peppers >Nazi secret montage >HP7 spoilers >Moon Man And there are many other random fads I probably missed. RIP in piece, YTMND. It was a goldmine of OG content.
Go back to Jow Forums, cretin. Let the oldfags reminisce of a better time-- a time before the smartphones, before the cancer of identity politics swallowed the internet whole. You may not know of those days, as most Jow Forums scum such as yourself was just beginning to learn the craft of glue sniffing and crayon eating, but you still must show some respect. This was site founded by pedos, weebs, and all around weirdos. Never forget that.
Liam Jackson
To be fair, I remember frequent mockery back in the day over Mr. Goldberg's flagrant jewery. Even Ebaum's dad made a dig about it.
Jackson Sullivan
Thankfully archive.org seems to have saved some of the content. I went to the latest archive of the main page and was able to load a fad.
Julian Taylor
Never heard of it before. I'm not american.
Camden Phillips
Now I'm sad
Kayden Robinson
I love you for that
Angel Lewis
darude sandstorm?
Levi Harris
that came a bit later than peak ytmnd
Levi Cook
And yet it still was better than 99% of YouTube.
Sebastian Walker
>>>HP7 spoilers NOOOOOOOOO YOU BITCH
Good times. Fuck this has got me down now
Justin Sanders
Harry Potter 6, user.
By the time the seventh book came out, everyone was ready with completely fake spoilers in order to overload the spoiler feed and prevent real spoilers from being believable.
James Howard
I remember some vids of people going into shops with megaphones and reading off the spoilers but it never had the same impact as the sixth did.
I'll also miss the "sonic says" ones, they were pretty amusing.
YouTube is filled with retards trying to get e-famous and corporate shills. YTMND was goofy shit. I will admit that nostalgia goggles are probably a big factor.
no, he's a schizo autist, i run a channel that did nothing but old videogame videos for a while and it attracted this youtube.com/channel/UCm3-xzJ-S15up0696WQnO7g look at the playlists, it also left similar word salad comments, it has an unknown amount of alts as well
youtube had very little oc in the beginning so one could argue ytmnd was better even if it was for a brief period of time
that format was never going to allow for the site to thrive and they did very little to adapt to the times, most likely because they weren't interested
that said, newgrounds is still around so who knows?
I suspect you're being a contrarian faggot then. I recall most net savvy posters having a negative opinion of YTMND back in the day but they wouldn't be obstinate enough to pretend they weren't even aware of it.
Luis Morgan
yeah thats exactly my point
Lincoln Nelson
Wow I'm half your age and am doing the same thing (minus the weeb shit). You must be proud of your accomplishments.
Jace Long
Unless they intentionally scoffed when people brought it up and only have a vague recollection of some video collage shit.
I literally don't know more than that and if that's all it really was who the fuck cares.
Zachary Turner
lmaoing at your life
Joseph Reyes
How is life when you're 40? I'm 30 now and feels like time has zipped by.
Isaiah Peterson
Honestly it feels the same as when I was 25 only I don't get laid anymore.
Easton Gray
>youtube had very little oc in the beginning nigger what
I'm with him, don't act like everyone loves your faggy meme sites, I never visited it either
Josiah Green
Don't you know? YouTube just showed reruns of TV shows until PewDiePie came along
Samuel Wright
get screened for early-onset alzheimer's
it was mostly reposted shit in the beginning
Chase Lewis
you're the man now, dog
Carson Nelson
I miss the ironic shitposting, and every user just shitting on each other for the heck of it. Fuck post Habbo/Scientology Jow Forums. Normalfags ruin everything.
This literally happens more now, there are 24/7 streams of like every big cartoon
Sure, there was plenty of that. I even reposted my friend's repost one time. But we also both made OC. Now it's almost exclusively cookie cutter bullshit with zero originality
Anthony Turner
>implying I don't miss it dearly too >in the year 2019 >implying the internet is even fun anymore >ishygddt
You'd be surprised. Most anons who are newfags themselves from Reddit get triggered here.
Asher Diaz
reminder that every single prominent YTMND meme was just ripped off of Something Awful
Jayden Lopez
lol, I only got laid with one girl when I was 21 and then never again after that.
Hudson Morales
I'm 22 and what is this?
Gabriel Barnes
>But we also both made OC i didn't say there wasn't but it certainly wasn't the main focus of the platform at that time unlike ytmnd
>Now it's almost exclusively cookie cutter bullshit with zero originality because faggots found out they could live off it and it's increasingly becoming more depressing
