| + | ==Poland army== |
| | + | i love the fpa forums and pretty much run the place, you know. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Introduction== | + | ==I make a lot of sites== |
| | + | i also jack off to my top spot on the YTMND site count list |
| | | | |
| − | You may know me from YTMND or from the FPA forums (well actually that doesn't really make sense, since why would you be going to the FPA forums if you don't go to YTMND?). Anyway I tend to stay away from the general YTMND forums, both the WS and NWS versions, as well as spinoffs such as TPILOL and such. I figure I'm probably boring you already so I might as well get on with my introduction.
| + | ==COMMENTS== |
| | + | {{*}} 1 |
| | | | |
| − | Hi, my name is Darth Wang. I'm widely known (or at least I like to think I'm widely known) in the YTMND community, as a member of the Forgot [[Poland]] Army, and the YTMND user with the most sites (an accomplishment I am quite proud of). I was also Money-Hat's "Non-featured featured user of the day" on 10/23/07. In my experience, most other YTMNDers either love me or hate me.
| + | (i don't have anything witty or constructive to say, cuz I'm a fucking uncreative idiot.<br> |
| − | | + | I just comment what I voted, so my FPA friends can see I'm upvoting their sites and let Bfaggot and Fagourest know that I hate their sites cuz they forgot poland lolo) |
| − | ==Early History==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I discovered YTMND one day when browsing some forum which I've forgotten about now (and probably no longer exists). The first YTMND I ever saw was {{ytmnd|conansummons|Conan Summons a Fire Spirit}}. A bit later, I signed up, and created my first - ever YTMND.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It sucked.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | But if you still want to see it, {{ytmnd|behold|here it is}}. After that, I left YTMND for a while, and concentrated on making Flash movies, which I was, at best, mediocre at. When my 3 Flash trials ran out, I started YTMNDing (is that even a word?) again, and churned out a bunch of unfunny crap. Mainly poor attempts at fad sites, in - jokes that nobody else would get, insults against other people I knew on the intertubes, screenshot sites, and random stuff I considered "cool" at the time. My only notable site of this period was {{ytmnd|xarko|Letter About Xenu}}, which was my first site to reach up and coming and top viewed, taking advantage of the [[Scientology]] fad that was popular at the time. It did remarkably well for something I made using only MSPaint and an audio file copied from another YTMND. Even now it remains on my top 5 rated sites. I personally think it's horrible.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==The Turning Point==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I finally found meaning to my meager, pointless YTMND career when I stumbled upon {{ytmnd|khanstride|this}} beautiful gem of a site. I was confused at first, but then I found myself laughing uncontrollably and added it to my favorites. Looking at the author {{ytmnduser|Aegisreflector}}'s other sites, I discovered the Poland fad, and my enthusiasm for YTMND was suddenly renewed. My first real Poland site was {{ytmnd|vote5weirdnoisepoland|Weird Annoying Noise forgot Poland}}, a very basic, bare - bones type of Polend. Still, it allowed me entry into the FPA. Since then, I became one of its most prolific and well - recognized members, creating hundreds of Poland and noise sites. Shortly after I joined the FPA, I also switched from the incredibly poor - quality gif editing program I had been using before (which couldn't handle gifs with more than 20 frames) to GIMP, allowing for much better image editing.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==KHANTMND==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After several (mostly unsuccessful) attempts to resurrect the [[Khan]] fad, I noticed the popularity of alternate universes, and created [[KHANTMND]]. {{ytmnduser|RubilacEx}} helped by creating many of his own, and then the rest of the FPA joined in. I still make KHANTMNDs today, as do many FPA and non - FPA users, but it hasn't quite become mainstream yet. However, I think I can safely credit my KHANTMNDs as being the main source for introducing many other quotes from Star Trek 2 (besides the Khan scream) to the YTMND community, thus adding new material to boost creativity round the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perdition's Flames before I'll- wait, what was I saying?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==LOUDTMND==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Created a bit after KHANTMND, [[LOUDTMND]] isn't so much a fad, as an ear rape/mockery vehicle used to make fun of other YTMND sites. Of course I had to make LOUDTMND versions of the classic fads first, to make it seem like an alternate universe. I still make these occasionally, but not very many other people do. I usually save the treatment for sites I find to be really annoying. LOUDTMND also has its own Youtube spinoff, LOUDTUBE, created by members of the FPA. http://www.youtube.com/user/LOUDTUBELOLOL
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Other projects==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Epic Parodies'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Getting sick of [[Epic Maneuver]] sites, I started a series of parodies, where I would simply take an image from a classic YTMND and stick the epic song over it, labeling it Epic (name of fad) maneuver. For example, {{ytmnd|epicard|Epic Picard Song Maneuver}}. Several other FPA members joined in, but this mini - fad died out quickly. I generally don't make these anymore.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''The Khan Stapler Series'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This is a series of YTMNDs I have made featuring, as you probably guessed, Khan and [[Stapler]]. I take a long break between making each one. Currently I have made 8.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''LOLTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A short - lived attempt at an alternate universe fad which would be centered on {{ytmnduser|Boomaga}}'s "LOL" from his famous {{ytmnd|baumanletters|Dramatic Reading}} site. This idea failed miserably, though I still often use the sound file.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Attempted revivals of old fads'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After successfully reviving Khan, I've attempted to revive other classic fads, such as [[Ugoff]], [[Tender Crisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch]], and [[Bananaphone]], with varying degrees of success. One of my best results on this front was my {{ytmnd|metalgearbananaphone|Metal Gear Bananaphone}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''TTSTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The TTS stands for [[Text-to-Speech]]. This was an attempted alternate universe fad where I would take the audio from a fad site and change it to TTS. It was more successful than LOLTMND, and many other FPAers participated. I don't make TTSTMNDs anymore, but that's not to say I've stopped for good, I just haven't felt like it recently. {{ytmnduser|M0rtanius}} created a watermark for the TTSTMND universe, when it originally had none, as well as making several TTSTMNDs himself. I'll probably use his watermark if I make any more.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Darth Stapler'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Born out of my attempt to revitalize old fads, and my hatred of the [[Lazytown]] fad, I created Darth Stapler. A sort of Bizarro - universe counterpart to [[Stephanie]], Darth Stapler lives in Staplertown, where everyone is a Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch, Hootie can be any random character, Ugoff saves the day from Kaz Hirai, and a certain panel from and old Thor comic book sometimes shows up in the background. Darth Stapler him(her?)self looks like Stephanie with Darth Vader's head, and is always carrying a stapler, either as some sort of accessory, part of his wardrobe, or as an actual part of his body. He can always be identified by his repeated cries of [[Nooo!]] and STAPLER! This has proven to be one of my most popular mini-fads among the FPA, but as usual, the mainstream hates it (although {{ytmnduser|lazytown4}} loves it, which is ironic considering that the Darth Stapler idea was born mainly from mockery of his sites).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Random Fad Image Put To Completely Unrelated Fad Sound'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Basically what it sounds like
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''VOTE5TMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It started out as just another goofy alternate universe, where I would paste signs saying "Vote 5" over the fad images, and splice "Vote 5" into the audio (composed of Puff Daddy saying Vote from an episode of South Park, and Khan saying Five from Star Trek 2, part of his famous "THIS IS CETI ALPHA 5!" line). However, when {{ytmnd|timetovote5|One of my VOTE5TMNDs}} got on U&C, [[Max]] started complaining, and we had a huge long argument in the comments, which caused several users to criticize the lazy (but hilarious) fad mashups commonly made by myself. Still, I make VOTE5TMNDS. I WON'T BE STIFLED, YOU HEAR ME!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Update: Recently, the tension created between {{ytmnduser|Btape}} and myself started by this incident came to a head, when he no longer made any FPA sites and did nothing but criticize me and other members of the FPA. He also abused his admin powers on the FPA forums and banned many members simply for supporting my work. He was eventually kicked out of the FPA, and has embarked on a campaign against us (me in particular). He uses his YTMND moderator status to find any excuse to mark FPA sites NSFW and downvotes them as soon as they are made. If questioned about this, his usual excuse is that my sites suck now and I don't put effort into them anymore. However, many of the sites I make nowadays are of the exact same type that I used to make, and that he used to upvote. For example, Btape would always upvote my Darth Stapler sites, but I recently made {{ytmnd|darthknife|a new one}}. I saw him immediately NSFW and downvote it on spy, despite the fact that I put more effort into it than many of my old sites which he upvoted.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Doug Learns about...'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This was an experiment to see if I could force a fad the old way, i.e. simply make a lot of sites one after the other until it caught on. It failed in the end, but I had more success than I anticipated. The "fad" in question was a quote from the cartoon Doug, where he originally said "There's a bomb in the lasagna?" The word bomb would be cut out and replaced with various other things, and a picture of lasagna I found on google image search would be edited to include that item. The title would be "Doug learns about (something related to the item)" and the text would be "OMFG!" To my surprise, after my first few Doug Learns About... sites, other people began making them, to the point where the recently created list was composed of nothing but Doug sites, and they were all over the up and coming. Furthermore, the other people making them were not FPA members, in fact I had never even heard of them before! It just goes to show how easily groups can be manipulated, I guess. After an hour or so, the predictable reaction set in, and all of the sites were downvoted. Still, it was an interesting test.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''STAPLERTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This was my result of attempting to divorce the Stapler fad from Milton himself, making a bizarre type of site where people's heads or other objects would be replaced with staplers and the only dialogue would be "stapler" or "staaaaapler". I think it's effective humor due to the absurdity. These sites don't always have STAPLERTMND, or even Stapler in the title, as in {{ytmnd|lolspoilertmnd|Harry Potter Book 7 Spoiler}}.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''HIATUSTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Despite the name, it's not actually an alternate universe, these are just sites I make when I can't access my main computer and editing tools for some reason (computer's broken, on a trip, etc.) Usually all I have to work with are MSPaint and TTS, so I draw crappy comics.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''UNNECESSARILYLONGAUDIOTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An idea I had where I would take the image from a fad site and then play the entire song instead of just a clip used in the site, except compress it so it would play at high speed. I've abandoned this now. {{ytmnduser|Captain-L337}} has recently tried to revive this fad.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''YAFLAYHBO'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An acronym for "You're a fat loser and you have body odor". This was my attempt to force another minifad with the intent of being annoying/amusing. I went to moviewavs.com, browsed several movie quotes until I decided on this quote from the movie School of Rock. I then downloaded it and found a picture from google image search of Jack Black in the movie making a disgusted - looking face. I made several fad sites, but it didn't catch on.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''RULE BREAKING SITES'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This was another attempt to imitate {{ytmnduser|zomglolwtfzor}}, who is one of my favorite users. The idea was to make a sequence of sites named after all of the rule violations in the YTMND terms of service (shown when you open up the site creator). Each of them would simply have Kirk yelling Khan and some apropos text. {{ytmnd|blatantcopyrightinfringement|One of them}}, to my surprise, made top viewed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Y™ND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Also known as "trademarkYTMND". This was an attempt to create an alternate universe that required as little editing as possible, and also to exploit the use of the ™ symbol, which was popularized in YTMND titles by {{ytmnduser|murdarmachene}} and zomglolwtfzor. As I expected, it got a lot of downvotes, but also a good amount of upvotes. I abandoned this after a few sites, since there really wasn't much more I could do with the idea.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''TCBCRTMND'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | A universe based on the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch fad. I made the first one a while ago, but didn't pick it up until recently. The watermark features Hootie from the commercial with TCBCRTMND written on it. The sites usually feature fads or other sites with Hootie and TCBCR edited into the image and audio. A few other people have made these as well.

| − | * I was credited for effectively killing the "New License" minifad with my site {{ytmnd|ifthishasbeendonebeforethenigiveup|New License's new license}}
| + | |
| − | * I have made several domain grabs. http://crab.ytmnd.com is probably my best one.
