In 2013, the community were crying out for somewhere they could engage beyond the 140 character limit.

Around Christmas 2013, I was feeling a bit lonely and decided to ask the imgur community if this was something they really wanted, not just a fad.

I got a resounding yes through hundreds of comments and thousands of upvotes.

During that time I ran a development studio and until my team came back in the new year I started making mockups and playing about with some ideas then posting them to imgur for feedback!

Over 3 months we built essentially a chat platform that allowed people to connect and launched in Feb 2014.
