** God help you if you make an [[{{Anime}} anime-related]] site on {{YTMND}}, the guide to creating a site even warns you against it.
** Ironically, [[http://ytmndjapan.ytmnd.com/ ytmnd.co.jp]] is in the hall of fame and [[http://kaneda.ytmnd.com/ Kaneda!]] is a mod favorite. [[Anime/CowboyBebop Cosby Bebop]] is also popular.
** Often an anime site will be immediately downvoted, and a comment will be posted linking [[http://animeisforfaggots.ytmnd.com here]]
** Same goes to MMORPG stuff. This was because, in the early days of YTMND, many WorldOfWarcraft related [=YTMNDs=] were created and linked to the WoW forums, generating massive numbers of views every day, which annoyed the general YTMND population, having to see sites containing inside jokes about a game most of them didn't play on the front page day after day. This still happens occasionally, and because of this, WoW - related sites are usually downvoted upon creation.
** A single silly page with some sound loop is [[SarcasmMode serious business.]]
** YTMND also hates 4chan with a passion, having been one of the top meme-spewing, in-joke creating internet content sites (barf).

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The site "''WorldOfWarcraft'' is SeriousBusiness" misreports it as a recording from a ''WorldOfWarcraft'' ventrilo - Anyone who's played the game can tell you there's almost ''no'' way for someone to steal their "Cloudsong", nor is there a "Mordred" server in the game. That's because the drama was actually around ''DarkAgesOfCamelot'' and not ''WorldOfWarcraft''.



* OpinionMyopia:
** The user Umfuld, who thinks only the kinds of sites he makes are any good and anyone who makes different kinds of sites is deliberately trolling and trying to ruin YTMND, and he does things like automatically downvoting the sites of every user he doesn't like using multiple alternate accounts because of this
** This was also the reasoning of the famed user "inkdrinker", who believed that the only YTMND's that were any good followed the original site's mission of "picture, text, sound". He downvoted thousands of pages that included videos, effects, soundclips that went on longer than a few seconds or anything that bucked the trend of the original sites.

[[http://ytmnd.com/ You're the Man Now Dog]] is a humor site.

The creator, Max Goldberg, made the first site after watching the trailer to ''Film/FindingForrester''. This first site (recreated [[http://oldschoolytmnd.ytmnd.com/ here]]) consisted of some ASCII art and Creator/SeanConnery's "You're the man now, dog!" line from the trailer. As other people started to create their own Spinoffs of the page by copying the code, Max started listing them. Eventually the list became overly long, so Max bought an entire domain for the sites and made an easy-to-use site generator. And the rest is history.
