Going way back on Reddit, I remember MrGrim modestly posting that he had created an image host just for Reddit, imgur.com. It's pretty wild to see him and imgur have come this far.

EDIT: Here it is--5 years ago. Great job MrGrim. http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to...

EDIT2: Nevermind, I was beaten. :)

Crazy to think that all it would have taken is a few redditors to downvote that post and it would have been hidden and never seen.

Right place, right time perhaps.

I'm glad it worked out for Alan. When I post to Reddit about things I've built, I just get downvoted. hah
