Dubstep a meme?

Might be able to work as long as it is focuses on its relevance in Internet culture. I made this awhile back: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/dubstep-remix-videos

What is this?

I keep seeing this painting of a woman popping up in images. What is the story behind this? Edit: Nevermind I found it: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/jttti/dusted_off_my_tablet_because_i_felt_bad_for_it/

New KYM feature?

James made the awesome drop-down menus. They went live last night.

Can someone help me out?

When you can, please put both the “width” value and the “height” value in img embeds that are being resized. It saves on page load time for the entry. Alternatively you can switch out the “newsfeed” part of the url for “small” if you want to embed without having to add a width value.

Can someone help me out?

Thanks for getting this going. I think it could use some formatting help -- maybe a two-column table or something. I’ll try to play with it in a bit.

Hub entry for Hashtags?

I do not think a hashtag hub entry is needed; I agree with DPF that the purpose can be served by the Twitter entry. However, I would like to see an increase in trending twitter topics and hashtag entries that are modeled after entries like these: #AccordingtoPalin#ReasonstoBeatYourGirlfriend#Greenfieldism#shestooyoungforyoubro#FuckYouWashington#Дождь They can make for some pretty interesting entries when filled with data from sites like Trendistic.

Help! Is there a effective way to find a meme's spread?

Sometimes using Google Insights to pinpoint when keywords associated with a meme first started picking up steam can be useful when using the advanced Google search options for a specific time period. This can help narrow the results if you are trying to find the first places a meme began spreading out through blogs, etc.

DDoS/DoS attacks

I had been thinking about a Low Orbit Ion Cannon entry a few months ago. It might be difficult to justify a meme entry I suppose, but there has been significant chatter about it. I wouldn’t be against having some sort of DDoS in Internet culture entry with a focus on things like the LOIC etc.

Shake Weight

LOL I say go for it. That thing is so ridiculous.

My Little Pony image board, reposts and other problems

Hey guys I think the problem of overflowing media in entry galleries will be solved when we have multiple sorting options in the gallery. For example: the default view would be by “highest rated”, and there would be options to view for “most commented” and just “all” (the current view) as well.

Meme Outlook and the Future

Entry content does not need to be approved in the forums prior to entry creation. When an entry is first created it is placed in the “submissions”, not “confirmed”. That said, sometimes it can be very helpful to consult the forums to gather the information needed to create an entry.
