The Humble Signage

Located in a nice part of town, Imgur sits next to a pretty damn cool co-working space aptly named The Vault.

The Meme-Timeline

This is the GREAT MEME-TIMELINE! It tells the story of a humble beginning to a great, mighty people!

Mr.Grimm & Mr. 1700

As we were introduced to everyone (Mindy, Isaac, and the crew) I was asked for my username to see if my UserID # was lower than that of Isaac's. Isaac has the lowest number in the office next to Alan & Sara, it stands around 24k. When they drew up my UserID it became known that I had signed up when Alan here posted Imgur on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit.com/comments/7zlyd/my_gift_to_reddit_i_created_an_image_hosting

That number is still high, 1700, but it warranted them seeking out Alan so I could say hi. It was really great to say thanks in person for all the time I spend lurking and laughing with the community. His rule for a selfie is that he takes it. He touched my phone.

The Front Lobby

The walls are adorned with art given by the community. It's a pretty cool reminder that we've all helped to build something great.

Yes, I saw the potato in person. It is a great, putrid mess of nature devouring itself.

So your dying of cancer and *this* is where the Make-a-Wish Foundation took you?

Did you just go and ring the doorbell? Can anyone do this?

I tweeted a picture of a miniature husky the day before. I believe this is what Mindy now requires as admission.

It was once a proud potato, now it sits in a glass casing as we gawk at it. Sadness. Everywhere.

Then my username is even more fitting. For the record, I did not send the tuber.

Could just be a lurker with a profile for giving upvotes. That's all I was for a long time. Plus, if you're in SF anyway, why not?

Exactly good sir. That's exactly what this account does, and was in SF visiting a bunch of tech HQs, but Imgur was a great highlight :)

I run a social media agency and like to keep the memes we use in one place :) My meme-repository if you will.

Hi! I do digital marketing and that made me smile. I like memes too

so you're relying on Imgurs servers for backup ? not sure that's such a good idea.

No, not as backups, more so to keep them all in one place. Organized. Since I spend so much time here, two birds, one stone.
