Before I head out (same reasons as everyone else) I thought I'd drop some of the best things I've seen in my 10 years here

Finally, most of my own best contributions can be found here: https://imgur.com/gallery/had-some-requests-updated-compendium-of-star-trek-ship-lore-posts-so-just-making-public-one-kWoewGx or under the #frontiermusicology tag (it has a space when i enter it as a tag, but not sure how to include the space when tagging in text)

And a few years ago, several Imgurians lent their voice talents in helping to create "Space Busker 2061: The Tales of Wild Billy Whitlow and His (Alleged) Deliverance of the Earth From Mortal Peril" https://www.buzzsprout.com/2155062

See you, Imgur, you pack of crazy horny people. Magnebro signing off with a little Vulfpeck

Only one thing to say.

#12 The "War on Drugs," is the biggest Socioeconomic catastrophy in Human History. It makes WWs & Pandemics look like good times. Half a century later, trillions wasted in everything from police & military expenditures, the creation of the DEA, to all the Medical cost, along with millions of preventable deaths. Yet, the only thing that's changed is the street prices. "Drugs," won the War long before even fuckin "Big Pharma," was allowed to throw Pill Heroin at...

#22 The chess nuts one makes no sense unless Americans comically mispronounce "foyer".

And the numbers start in the West & South, and end in the East & North. This applies to mile markers as well. So if you are driving and the numbers going up, you are driving East or North, going down, West or South. Do with this info what you will.

#5 "painting" lol

#18 yeah, but there's a bunch of them in weird places now. Houston has I-69, next to I-45. We also have I-610, which is a loop, and was there long before I-69. I dont know why it's outside the 40's, but it shouldn't be. Funny, tho.

#1 If you need to kill some time before you fly out of Las Vegas, you can visit Redd Foxx's grave in the Palm Valley View Cemetery right near the airport. Tony Curtis is there too.

I do and did not have many heros or idols growing up, but the few that I do have include Redd Foxx. Up there with like Robin Williams, George Carlin, Carl Sagan, and Alan Alda. Redd Foxx wasn't just a great Comedian, he was one of the most exceptional Social Philosophers of his time. ^_^

#16, damn shame the NSAIDs in 21 eviscerated my taster & smeller. I'd really like to try a pesto with roasted garlic. Oooooooooooh!

#3 Different strokes for different folks. I change my sheets once a month. My son never wears the same pajamas two nights in a row.

Agreed, weekly here but I gather that's more frequent than most people inknow

People that use watch guides for live action shows that are character/narrative driven. Your Pagh is weak and it sickens me.

You take in the whole thing, good and bad.

Why is everyone leaving?

onemarbleshort

More importantly: where is everyone going?

I wish I had an answer. I'm not aware of anywhere else that would let me write obsessively detailed niche posts that thousands of strangers are forced to see, let alone where there's almost always a comment involving putting appendages in horses. That's not sarcasm, that's exactly why I love this place.

Lots but the newish owners have been making decisions many of us dislike, such as firing all the mods and shutting down the Order of the Emerald Upvote

whosbestmom

will there be a new place to go?

If I had the time, I'd MAKE an imgur clone. But i'm not aware of anything that works in a similar silo-less way

It's not easy to make something like this. You need to have desktop and phone apps, you need moderation to avoid all the Nazis and bots, you need to make deals with advertisers pay for bills (because users won't want subscription fees). He compliance with accessibility laws and stuff like EU gdpr... Tons of work

Oh I know, it's what I do, and that's why I know I can't do it solo. The API alone would take forever.
