...all we know is that it’s here now.
We never wanted to use the ‘z’ word, but it’s the easiest way to describe how the infected behave. They are violent, possess seemingly unending energy, and have an appetite for human flesh. Half of your Imgurian friends are no longer happy people but are brain-eating zombies, determined to destroy all of mankind.
It’s become unavoidable; a battle between the infected zombies and healthy humans is here. Both teams have an equal chance at claiming victory. Will you munch brains or save the human race? Check the banner on the main page to see which team you're on.
ZOMBIES: your task is simple; spread the infection.
Spread the infection by making posts and tagging them with TeamZombie ( or #TeamZombie in the description). Your team earns points for every post with that tag and every upvote on tagged posts. Remember! You are an unstoppable infecting machine. You never rest, you only infect.
HUMANS: the fate of humanity is in your hands.
An antidote was developed quickly and we need your skills to administer the medicine. To heal the zombies, create a post to share and tag it with TeamHuman (or #TeamHuman in the description). Every upvote on tagged posts means another step closer to curing the zombies and saving the human race.
Downvotes don’t remove team points.
You need to be logged in to Imgur to take part in the battle and on the latest version of the apps. Check the banner on Imgur’s home page to see what team you’re on and to see which team is leading at any moment. You cannot change teams. Remember, you help your team succeed by sharing posts tagged with #TeamHuman or #TeamZombie and upvoting posts by others on your team. All posts with either tag will also automatically be tagged #infection so you can see all the posts in one place.
We’ll be keeping you informed of all the latest developments on our Damage Report and right here on the @imgur account.

Of all the things to spend dev time on on this site... this shit gets the green light

So, this is more important than all the other things we are waiting for being added on imgur?

it's more lucrative. lest you doubt where imgur's priorities lie.

nah. fuck this shit. glad i'll be gone for the weekend.
LongGreasyDick
Yeah, seriously. Where are our folders??
ObiWanShalomi
I think I tried to go back to the first posts that I faved, but I couldn't because imgur would just stop letting me load earlier faves.
ObiWanShalomi
So what I'm trying to say: you probably can't endlessly favorite posts so you'd have to manage ur folder system every now and then.

ublock and filter out the banners/etc? That's what I just did.

How do I do that? I have ublock, but don't know the banner stuff.
SnowMeowPlush
Right click the banner and select block element, hit create, there is at least 3 different elements you have to block. Text, banner, arrow.

What exactly is the prank here

Just that it's a change of layout that confuses the crap out of regulars. Harmless and fun to watch unfold when people rage over it.

And they have users across the planet. Pretty sure they want everyone to be involved for as long as possible.
