Profile

YTMND Conference 1945 is a conglomerate site created by YTMND user infinityDUCK. It features the famous photograph of the "Big Three" at the Yalta Conference of 1945, edited to include YTMND fad characters. The site enjoyed brief popularity, occupying the Top 15 for a couple weeks after it was created.

The characters featured on the site are, from left to right: Batman, Milton Waddams, Takeshi Kaga, Brian Peppers, The Prince, The King, Louis Potgieter, Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Severus Snape, The "O RLY?" owl, Muhammad Hassan, Sean Connery, Domo-Kun, Capt. James T. Kirk, Darth Vader, and Conan O'Brien. At one point the image featured characters from the What is Love?! fad, but were later removed.

The site's audio is the loading theme to the Electronic Arts PC game Battlefield 1942. This music is featured on Volume 8 of the YTMND Soundtrack. Although possibly the first site to use this audio, it has been used in several other popular World War II-related sites.

YTMND Conference 1945 does not feature Poland.

Fans

Notably, YTMND user Lima has been a persistent fan of the site. Lima has suggested several edits in design, has donated to the site, and continues to lobby for its inclusion into the Hall of Fame.
