The Battle of Olive Garden's Facebook Wall

lol, moved this to meme research. I think the comments have waned over the weekend but yeah, worth keeping an eye over it. All internet fights or debates can be treated as event entries, as long as there’s sufficient evidence of spread & participation.

KYM Instructional Video?

Thanks for the reminder, here’s an instructional video we made from last year! I’m gonna plug this into the FAQ thread as well.

New KYM Site Search Options!

Hey KnowYourMemers, In case you haven’t noticed yet, James just pimped out our site search! Now you can get suggestions while you’re tying in the search bar & you can also narrow down your search by using custom syntax: General search: matches entry names, body text, tags, summaries, etc To search entry names only:name:boxxy To search entry names with prefix matching:name:box* To search entry names matching a multiple word phrase: (matches names with “racists on”)name:(“racists on”) To search...

Meme Chart: Looking For Your Feedback!

As some of you’re aware, we’ve started brainstorming a better way to categorize & link related entries and there have been other related discussions before, so it’s time to put them thinking caps on. For your references: Link to all subculture entries: http://bit.ly/qjOUjp Link to all parent-level entries: http://bit.ly/r2GGfY If you look at the google results, you’ll see that there is more than one method of organization in place: some...
