Talk:List of YTMND fads/Archive02

message: I think this list is a supertask and worth more than one messy wikipedia article, so I started fads.wikicities.com

thread_title: fads.wikicities

message: disambiguate the most popular section into the other sections.
It makes sorting and overview unnecessarily hard and it's not a neutral point of view.

message: Is there even a need for this section? None of these are significant at all, and anyone could throw a few random YTMNDs in here and call it an "attempted fad". It's either a fad or it's not. ShadowMan1od 21:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Attempted fads 

message: Hi, I'm the one who wikifiedhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_YTMND_fads&diff=27760932&oldid=27745126 the page,and anything you'd like to say about it, just tell me. Also, to ShadowMan1od, Fountains of Wayne's Stacy's Mom was a fad until the site went down the first time, then, apperently, all sites about this particular fad were deleted. I added it into the Music Seccion and you took it out. I won't add it again because, well, maybe we just want current fads here, I don't know. Anyways, words on the wikification, I'm all ears. Acid Ammo 20:43, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I did a quick search for it, and I got almost no results, so I figured it was just a self-fad promotion thing. We need to add something in there about the site wipe, because a ton of fads lost a lot of their entries that way. And thanks for wikifyinging. ShadowMan1od 22:28, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikifying

message: This has to do with the fad starting with Sailor Moon deflecting various projectiles from various Characters (the original being Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh throwing a snowball sailormoonvssakaki.ytmnd.com.) If you do a search, yuo'll find quite a few related sites. Just thought you should know. 
: It's a fad --Ollj 09:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Another Sailor Moon Live-action Fad

message: The fad was removed from the listings during deletion.  However, I did a search for "time to" and I ended up getting 2 pages involving the phrase.  I also found a ytmnd suggesting it was a fad back in 2004: introytmnd.ytmnd.com/.  I think this may be a fad and should be added back.
:definitely a fad hard to search for because its hidden in many others starting with other letters like "c-c-c-conan" and not with "time to".--Ollj 09:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Earlier today, I went to YTMND.com, and I looked up the three YTMNDs that used to be popular:
*Arnold Schwarzenegger
*Zordon
*Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
And the next thing I know, SOME OF THOSE YTMNDs like Japanese Arnold...ARE GONE and the pages are reduced to 1 or 2! What happened to them?! How could a part of the most popular YTMNDs become so unpopulatr?!  What happened??? --Seishirou Sakurazuka 00:41, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Kids Say the Darndest Things

message: There are a number of ytmnds that involve a character that goes by the name of Raven, and features an unknown song going "I'm ravin', I'm ravin', I'm ravin' till the sweat drops fall down on me!"
Some examples:
levyisraven.ytmnd.com/ Raven the wrestler imraven.ytmnd.com/ Raven the Teen Titans character imravenimraven.ytmnd.com/ Vulcan Raven the Metal Gear Solid character
**I haven't seen that yet become popular.  I don't think it's a fad yet.
* This music is called 'I'm Ravin by German techno band Scooter.
** That was a rip-off of a Shut Up and Dance track ("Raving I'm Raving" by Smiley, P.J., and Cohn, featuring Peter Bouncer), which itself stole the melody from "Walking in Memphis" (a subsequent lawsuit over this ended Shut Up and Dance): www.backtotheoldskool.co.uk/raving_im_raving.htm Back to the Old Skool Julyo 18:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get some actual YTMND links in here to show what the site is about?  I'm trying to explain why this site is a modern art revolution.  I wish I had a number of links in chronological order showing how the fad evolved and build off of multiple other fads.  This would be a very informational task if anyone wants to build a tree of how YTMND fads evolved, using specific YTMND links.

message: This article has recently survived a deletion request, however there was no consensus. It was on that page I proposed my plan for greatly improving this page. This plan can be outlined as the following:
* Removal of the list of YTMND fads, with the exception can be the very very very very famous fads. If these can't be decided, then no list.
:* Huh? Your plan for "greatly improving the page" is to... um  get rid of it? ::::is confused:::: I'm No Parking and  I approved this message
::*Thx for clarifying. I'm No Parking and  I approved this message
* Outlining the information in the list instead
* Renaming the page to Fads on YTMND
* Keeping all the other information
This way, there should be an immense cutdown in arguments, article fluff, and this could be considered more encyclopedic.

message: I think this is a recent fad as almost twenty YTMND's have popped up today due to his impending execution.
:I wouldn't take it to be a fad, personally, it's just current affairs and YTMND has almost become a satire site that mocks current affairs.  This will probably die down after a couple of weeks.  I think one of the criteria for what constitutes a fad shouldn't just be sheer volume, it needs to be whether or not the "fad" is still going after a month or two.  Sonic Sez = definitely a fad with new YTMNDs added all the time.  MySpace Suicide = all but dead after a ridiculous drive that lasted a couple of days with the supply utterly exhausted over those days.  --L T Dangerous 12:19, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone deleted this fad in the list of video game.  Right now, there is only 1 page of it, but back in the summer of 2004, there was at least 2-3 pages.  The majority of thie blob sites were deleted due to accounts being created by multiple users.  This fad also pops up once in a while.  Do not delete this at any cost.

message: You know, there's been quite a few of them.  "Mine Mine Mine" from Finding Nemo, "Duck Duck Duck" from Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons, and the most recent one, a loop of the "Bill Bill Bill" excerpt in the Bill Nye theme song.  They are almost associated with pictures refering to the word or an animated gif going through all the pics.  Could we consider this a fad.
: Nah. But that is really interesting to think about. Fads are more consciously created than that. One guy has Chunk Addressing Congress and people consciouly parody that idea. This just kinda happens because people think it's funny. Also, Fads have a definite shelf life or beginning point. Can you point to the first of these? Your response follows.

I can't believe my eyes!  You're joking me, you've gotta be!  This can't be the right guy!"  The other one is "FF Cosplayers battle Kefka," in which severa FFVI cosplayers act out a battle against Kefka, featuring a screenshot of the ATB gauges from the game and such, usually set to various FFVI battle themes.

Stop adding in these sites to the fad list.  There are tons of sites about Family Guy, but it's not a YTMND fad.  A fad involve an changing an original idea, not posting every single thing they say.
I disagree and I cut the sections name.--Ollj 14:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

text: There's been quite a few user fads that are either inexistant or not too many.  People like tehpwner, Jammno, syncan, they all have around 1 whole page, but others like michale wolfson and fyrestorm only have 5 or 6.  Make sure there's at least around 1 whole page of sites before adding any in. And remember, this is based on ytmnds, not on their presence in forums. Maplejet 20:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

message: What happened to the YESYES list? I believe it should be noted in the Fad list. I also believe there are at www.ytmnd.com/list/?search=yesyes least 2 pages worth of YESYES sites when you run a search for this. I have seen the YESYES list here before, but I recon it was removed. Any particular reason for this? I think it should've stayed up on the list, considering it's another alternate universe to YTMND and PTKFGS. - 04:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

message: It's not a fad, because JoshCube is the ONLY one making them. Most of the DYTMND sites have been created by him if you www.ytmnd.com/list/?search=DYTMND run a search for DYTMND.... I suppose there are a few others that are doing this as well, but not as much as others did a PTKFGS universe. All the sites are mainly done by JoshCube, and has been started by him. IIRC, we already have a statement about JoshCube as a fad under the user fads, and I don't think we need to include this fad. It would be like stating JoshCube more than twice in the entire fad list, when we don't really need to state about him more than once. If anything, DYTMND would fall under JoshCube's user fad category. 21:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This I know. I've been approached by a few people from YTMND complaining about this. If I had to make an educated guess, the person who keeps adding DYTMND to the fad list is in fact JoshCube himself. I http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:68.98.77.51&diff=prev&oldid=47712001 told him to stop adding DYTMND to the list, and after http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_YTMND_fads&diff=prev&oldid=47849622 ignoring me, I blocked his IP for 24 hours. I have in fact taken the time to investigate this supposed fad myself, as I am a user on YTMND as well (a civilized one, mind you). DYTMND is not a fad, plain and simple.

message: I'm not sure if this is officially a fad yet, but I've seen a number of Super Soaker YTMND's that have at least made it to up and coming. Although I am unsure if any of them managed to make it to top 5 rated, let alone top 15 viewed. Anyway, it seems to be another take of an old animation of an old cartoon character that sprayed white liquid on people. Kind of horrible to do to someone, IMO.  21:24, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I liked this fad when Apollo 440's music was used in it, but at one point, I found it was being replaced en masse with what sounded like some kind of music from a mid-90's SNES RPG, which does NOT match the image at all. Needless to say, I was a little confused and even somewhat irate over how unsuited the music was, although it has been restored recently. Did Apollo 440 threaten YTMND with legal action, like Six Flags once did? Was this the action of hackers?
**Hehehe...it's a long story.  I think sometime few months ago, someone must have hacked into the original site and replaced the Stop the Rock song with a joke song that didn't make sense.  I believe that song was called "Hulkamaniacs in Heaven" by Hulk Hogan and company.  Something bizzare happened, and for an odd reason, almost every site, even sites not promising stopping the rock, had their sound file changed to the Hulk Hogan song.  The original was fixed later by the user, but unfortunately, not all of them have changed back.  I believe an explanation should be added regarding this incident to the Stop the Rock fad section..  65.145.254.146 03:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: One of the things I'm noticing about the Nigga fad is that a lot of users will intentionally censor themselves.  Even the YTMND for Gameboy YTMND does this.  Did/Does YTMND have a censor system?  If so, then I imagine this is an intentional mockery.  Should this information be added to the description of the Nigga fad on the article? --ThatNateGuy 02:04, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yes, YTMND in fact DOES have a sensor system. Whether or not the user decides to 'intentionally' censor the name as part of the joke is up to them. Also, it's censored as 'N*gg*', not 'N*gga'. Sometimes it's censored as 'N****r' if the user spells the name correctly. 21:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Lately, I've noticed that some YTMND's show real life people/actors accompanied by Pokemon in some way, whether its by cards or artwork of Pokemon. Is this a new trend to YTMND? IIRC, there was one of pokecruise.ytmnd.com/ Tom Cruise with Pokemon, hankspokemon.ytmnd.com/ Tom Hanks with Pokemon, just by searching the name 'Pokemon' gives many pages of results.
