Man, I used to upload lots of content on ytmnd. I had a few front page submissions, my most famous one was "Aha! Caught you with Sean Connery!" It was popular for like 2 weeks on the home page. I checked and my profile is no longer active and everything is erased.

I went down, down, down

And the flames went higher

And it burns, burns, burns

The ring of fire

The ring of fire
