So, whether you downvote me or not... Here it goes.
Everyone in my office is on Imgur. They're actually the ones that got me into it.
I held out for a while, then finally made an account and started imgur-ing.
I thought it was kind of meh at first, then it started to grow on me. Eventually, after lurking for some time, I started posting. I started getting more points and meeting new people. While I believe the points on here are arbitrary and hold no intrinsic value, it still feels good to get an upvote. Mostly I valued the friendships. I love meeting new people, and there's just something I find really cool about meeting people around the world.
Okay so fast forward to a few days ago.
I met this really cool girl. I found out she annually comes to my state for vacation and she seems really awesome!
We just started messaging and I was hoping to (at the very least) make a new friend from somewhere cool and hopefully created a lasting friendship.
So...
The day after I replied to one of her messages, I go to sign into my imgur...
My account is inexplicably deleted.
So I'm like wtf.
I didn't do anything to warrant even a ban, nevermind a deletion of account.
So I get to the office the next morning,
and mention something about said deletion just in passing as casual conversation.
I am greeted with snickers by one of my co-workers.
One of my friends tells me so-and-so saw my account open at my computer and thought it would be funny if he deleted my account.
:|
So my heart is broken that all of it is gone.
Now I have to start from square one again.

In the grand scheme of things, life, etc. it's really a very big deal, but it made me kinda sad.
TL;DR:
Co-worker deleted my imgur account as a prank, just as I was getting good at this whole Imgur thing.
Thanks for listening guys.
I've come to enjoy this community and appreciate you all taking the time to read.
*Update*
Thanks guys for all your support!!!I posted this last night and when I woke up this morning this post had blown up! This is why I love Imgur. I love you guys.
So, I haven't really had a chance to "get back" at him.
And to be honest, I don't think I want to like match his level of awfulness. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.
I was pretty pissed initially, but the guy is kind of a jerk, so you can kind of expect that from him and I after I made this post and vented a little bit, I'm not nearly as mad.
BUT BELIEVE ME NO BAD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED
I might not kill his family, but I'll think of something good to get him back. Lol
As for the Imgurian girl:
I messaged her, but no response.
:\
I considered tagging her on this post, to be like "hey, I'm still here"
But I dunno..
maybe I'm just too awkward or something.
Maybe it just wasnt meant to be.
:[
Thanks again, Imgur! I love you guys. You're all really awesome.

It's security deposit return pictures. People who didn't clean their shit and didn't get money back.Idk the statute of limitation but 3y ago
