dankmaymays.com was a website created by namefig korchak, designed by the denizens of [s4s]. Unfortunately it is dead now (since the beginning of 2022).
History[]
On February 5th, 2015, namefig korchak created a thread, stating that he registered "dankmaymays.com" and asked what to do with it. Several posters replied, posting their dankest memes to be featured on the site. By February 6th, the thread was stickied. On February 8th, the thread was unstickied. When korchak was asked about the future of the site, he said that he would add all of the requests and maybe more, open a suggestion page on the site itself, and make a thread in a few weeks/months when new memes are made.
The Swamp (an imageboard on the website) was hacked sometime in early March 2015 and deleted shortly thereafter. A Flash archive was added in early April 2015. The Swamp returned on April 15th. New pages (Robot, Knishes, HE, Bill, Secret) were added the following day. Pages for Manny Pardo and Lemon Line were added on April 20th. A Smug Zone / #justwojakthings page was added on April 29th and updated with a (fake) social media feed on June 11th. On July 15th, korchak announced he has added two Flash files to the Flash page: Doctor Worse Than Hitler's CSS advertisement and the bob animation that got stickied on [s4s] the previous day. The site went down on July 29th but came back up after a few hours. It got reviewed the following day (video, [s4s] thread, Swamp post). The Swamp was reset and its posts were deleted sometime in the last week of October 2015.
On January 16th, 2016, the site was moved to a new server[1]. It also underwent a major update: It got an icon resembling the top half of a happy banana. The flash archive was reorganized and updated with at least 100 new files, and two new secret pages (kotblini and vaporwave), as well as a few public ones, were added. Some of these public pages (Vodka, Bune Raven, 420) use a gimmick introduced in the Spooky Scary Skeletons page: blinking colors. The Swamp was also reset and it entered the beta stage. After this update, sometimes the "post successful" image shown is not the "Well meme'd" Pepe, but a variation of the meme. The posting times are shown according to poster's local time zone. Images below the posts have been deleted, except for Shrek on the lower-right corner. The message "The swamp still suffers from major mud piping clogs. Be patient!" is shown above the posts. On top of all this, everything was rewritten in php[1].
On January 18th, 2016, the site was updated again. The page for "Libertarian Manifesto" was added, the Birds page got a bird-themed Smug Wojak image linking to an image about Hiroyuki asking about birds, dogefruit copypastas were fixed on the dogefruit page, and an "All Hail Dogefruit" dogefruit Flash animation was also added to the archive (and a link to said animation to the dogefruit page). Later, a page for The Third King's Royal Court was added. Also on the same week, the admin of the Swamp got a "le red pine tree man" icon next to the name field.
The Swamp went out of the beta stage on February 3rd, 2016[2]. On the following day, a "wildcard" page for user-submitted memes and a "Bad Time" page were added.
A page for Paul Blart Mall Cop was added around mid-April 2016.
On April 28th, 2016, korchak posted another thread asking for content for the site. He specifically said "no lewd/rude/crude stuff", but implied anything else was fine. The new updates included new content for the homepage (everything starting from an embedded Quad City DJs feat. Thomas the Tank Engine - Slam the Jam Engine video and ending to le holy hoho and a meme crocodile image), some new pictures for the Swamp, two secret anime pages (html, kawaii), a secret cp page, and nine other pages (Nice Page, Fashion, Sonic, Wide, CIAss, Fortune, Food Gore!, Fef, Snake Court). The favicon was also changed to the face of the dank meme gnome, and 403 and 404 pages were added. For that time, he stopped updating the page on May 1st, 2016, his last change being a new image to the Swamp. The thread itself died on May 3rd/4th, 2016.
In late December 2016, a Cade link was added. Clicking it always spawns a new cat image to the current page.
korchak created a survey about the website in 2016 or 2017 and hosted it on Dank Maymays. Anyone could fill it in and submit their answers.
Sometime in 2017, a priorities subpage that was a joke "to-do list" was added to the secret pages. It said updating the site was the last priority, after everything else.
In the beginning of January 2022, the site was gone.
Pages[]
This section reflects the contents of the website as they appeared in 2015-2021, prior to the untimely disappearance of it in early 2022.
Homepage[]
The main page of the website. Almost overflowing with dank memes, which include, but are not limited to,
- le out-looking man

The Swamp[]
A Shrek-themed image-board that slightly resembles 4chan, but with vast differences, such as a limited variety of dank Shrek and non-Shrek pics to choose from, privilege checking, multiple forms of colored-text, such as orange text< and {blue text}, Smash Mouth's hit single "All-Star" constantly playing in the background, and wordfilters.
Between March 9th and 13th, 2015, accessing The Swamp was impossible, and the users got an error page when they tried to go there. On March 13th, 2015, it was replaced by a page which reads, "Oh noes, Somebody took a fat ogre shit in my swamp! It was fun while it lasted, too bad someone had to ruin it for everyone else". Before its deletion, almost 2000 posts were made on The Swamp. However, the page was later changed to also congratulate the person who hacked The Swamp on their skills as well as promise the board "will return... and in greater numbers". The Swamp finally returned with a new background music on April 15th, 2015. The old background music ("All-Star" by Smash Mouth) was restored on May 28th, 2015.
The Swamp was reset on January 16th, 2016, as the site moved to a new server and everything was rewritten in php[1].
