I remember when this started, and I was amazed that the guy was willing to risk massive fees for little reward (at the time).
Very happy they have grown it into what it is today - fast, clean and stable.
It's what imageshack could have been.

- bostonpete 13y agoI vaguely recall this as well. Wasn't there a migration to imgur in response to some backlash against an alternative service that was doing something that pissed off redditors? Or maybe I'm thinking of a different controversy...
