Yup and my local backups. Looks like it's a certificate issue.Comment

I am glad for Stephers because YTMND doesn't load for me anymore, so if I want my fix of LazyGifs I go to StephersComment

Magnús: - I have fans of all ages and I don't think it's weird when older people like LazyTown. LazyTown appeals to people for many different reasons: dancing, acrobatics, etc.Comment

Yeah I noticed on one of the retries the a certificate expire text.
It's amazing though how locked off a site can become from all browsers when
a certificate expires. It's almost Orwellian. Even when I click accept risk
and proceed the site doesn't load right.
Proceeding to site

I wonder if Max lowered the file sizes. It had been increased a lot.
Use to be my complaint back in the early days. Think it was like 2mb
then Max increased it over time.
Making a test site to get that info. I think that's the really old information.- You must have javascript enabled to create a YTMND.
- Optimize your sounds and images before you upload them. YTMND tries to avoid changing assets as much as possible.
- The suggested site size is around 4mB maximum. If your assets are too large, they may not upload properly.
- If your site is too large, people will most likely leave before it's finished loading.
- MP3 files with ID3 tags have spacers in the beginning and end, which can cause the to loop improperly.
- If you are new to YTMND do a search to make sure no one else has already made this YTMND.
Some of it anyway. Max wasn't known to be great for updating information.
My bigger sites
Foreground image: 7.4mb
Background image: 7.4 mb
I think you were allowed 15mb if using just say the foreground image.
As for the syncing, that does take a lot experience to get right.
Damn I'm forgetting a lot of this stuff.Comment

I knew about YTMND since the early 2010s but I didn't spend much time there. About two years ago when I started getting into LT I would search for LT related discussions online, but search engines are almost worthless anymore and just show endless pages of listicles. You don't have to believe me, but one day I just had a thought that there might be Stephers content on YTMND; it made sense from a website made for short gifs from the early 2000s. I couldn't remember the name of the website for the life of me, and duck duck go/google wouldn't find it no matter how many variations "looping gif website" I searched (like I said, worthless). I finally had to boot up my 10 year old computer and find an old bookmark.
I was (and still am) blown away by the sheer amount of LT content on there. It's especially cool that the comments are still intact; it's truly an archive--and I have almost as much fun reading the comments as I do viewing the sites.
Anyway, all that to say I made my first site. It's not creative or anything special, just a few moments that stuck out to me. I got the proper darth wang treatment too, so I can pretend I'm back in 2007.

P.S. There's something valuable about sites which are algorithm free. I can't help but feel that every commenter on reddit is just trying to maximize their upvotes and therefore what they say is consciously or subconsciously affected. Even if that weren't the case, as a viewer you only see the most upvoted comments (unless you go out of your way to order by recency), so you get an impression of the majority opinion, but miss out on the breadth of opinion and true weirdness of what people have to say. The same goes for YouTube, Instagram, whatever. Although those sites are technically democratic, imageboards; forums; and old sites like YTMND are the only places where I can read a post knowing a user is authentically expressing himself and not pandering to the algorithm.Comment

YtMND did suffer hugely from the voting/downvoting system though, especially once some people began downvoting every LT site. It was quite easy for a site to effectively get hidden forever if the bad guys got to it soon enough, due to voting being used to determine what was on the front page.
And yeah Google Search ain't what it used to be in the old days. Not talking about them removing the cache feature either.
The Man Who Killed Google Search
They literally don't want you to find what you're looking for too quickly because they want to serve you more ads from more searches.l i t t l es t e p h e r sComment

I don't even wanna work my butt off making YTMNDs anymore if all I get is comments from people saying 'lol pedotown heheh make good content retard' like shut up nigga you're not cool.
Noooo i just brainstormed an idea for a ytmnd and i dont wanna work on it anymoreComment

Maybe now you understand why I left that place. The same bozos are still hanging around there, waiting to downvote you, 17 years later. It's really incredible.
I can see some of them downvoted BRBFBI already.l i t t l es t e p h e r sComment
