I also remember the post that originated imgur... because I was addicted to reddit back then. The founder called imgur a "gift to reddit"... http://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to...

Like most redditors I was shocked when I couldn't use my karma to buy stake in imgur. After becoming depressed that imgur was not really a "gift", I quit reddit, and decided to found a startup. And now I'm here. So thank you for that imgur.
