YTMND

YTMND (short for You The Man Now, Dog) is a website first created in 2001 known for hosting juxtaposition meme posts. The site was quite popular in the early to mid 2000s, but gradually lost relevance as time went on, though it did see a small spike in activity by the end of the 2010s. The site was also the brief home for the original Barney Bunch following their exile from Newgrounds, where they continued their tradition of spamming their swell content throughout.

History

Following their exile from Newgrounds in 2006, the Barney Bunch were looking for a new site to set up on. While many jumped ship to YouTube, some decided to station themselves on YTMND. A few Newgrounds vets such as SovietBarney set up there, and even YouTube users like Sammyt3hSnake also joined.

The style of content was pretty much identical to that on Newgrounds, though given the limitations of what could be posted there, many of them relied on the tried and true tradition of a still image of a character talking about their swell sexuality or something completely random. The names of the sites were also near identical to the ones on Newgrounds, complete with ALL CAPS, porn-esque names. They were generally low-quality, as this was still during the time that the Barney Bunch was a troll group, and would spam the site constantly. A handful of Pube Muppet content was also on the site as well.

Not much is known about the reaction to the Barney Bunch on YTMND, though according to the YTMND Wiki, many users on there were aware of the group, with some even joining in and making sites dedicated to Drew Pickles and the Barney Bunch without prior knowledge of them. While activity was fairly high from the mid to late 2000s, the Barney Bunch on the site began to decline, as many users appeared to have either been banned, retired, or gradually became inactive. Despite this, there is still a plethora of Barney Bunch content from the site, and remains as another time capsule in Barney Bunch and Speakonia Community history.

In 2022, RoboticBloxxer converted one of his Blood-style videos into a YTMND site, in an attempt to bring the community back onto YTMND. DuchessTheSponge (DharMannFan69) talked to one of the staff team on Tracle right after he realized some of his videos were taken down so he got permission to bring back the videos so he can import them to the site. Despite that, they haven't posted there in months, meaning that the plan to bring the community back to YTMND was a bust, as the Internet Archive, Odysee, and Rumble were more popular YouTube alternatives the community used.
