| − | == The Contest ==
| + | |
| − | From the [http://www.g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/blog/AOTB/post/553546/User_Created_Challenge.html original blog-announcement] on the G4 website:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>We want a kick-ass “You’re the Man Now Dog” [www.ytmnd.com]. Be creative, make whatever you want. It doesn’t have to be AOTS-themed (we think there’s enough crazy crap going around the internet that you should have plenty of material). The more unique and funny it is, the better.</blockquote>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Entry into the contest was a matter of including "AOTS" in the URL address (not the title) of your new site. AOTS also wanted entries to have the website's address included in the site's description, presumably to help those responsible for combing through the resulting deluge of sites, the majority of which have since been deleted.

| − | ==Criticism==
| + | |
| − | After the results were announced, the contest was met with mass criticism. Users took a shot at a few of the ytmnds due to stolen images. Only "I Want YTMND" was met with positive reviews and became a moderator's favorite. In addition, [[Calvin and Hobbes|one of the sites]] became a fad.
