Guy 1: "Dude, what is an Imgur?"
Guy 2: "The same head-up-its-own-arse site as Reddit, but at least you get a funny picture with every inane post"

Boy 1: Dude, did you go on Imgur today?
Boy 2: Why yes, I did. The cats that were *found* were exceptionally cute today.

An image sharing website where cats and other adorable animals are the most common subject along with the occasional inspiring/moving/tear-jerking photos that the Imgur community feels are worth sharing. Images are given with select captions and the community then vies for "upvotes" to reach the coveted "Top Caption" status and thus attain the ever-coveted Notoriety rating of Glorious.
1) Imgur: it's better than 9gag
2) A: Where can I find gratuitous amounts of cat images?
B: Imgur, duh.
3)I should be studying for my tests, but I've got time to check Imgur for just a few minutes. (Common misconception as Imgur has proven to be more addictive than Cocaine to the "Internet People" that inhabit its realm.)

A meeting place on the internet where individuals who are typically whitty yet forever alone share images and comment on them in a manner that provides enjoyment for all. Users also have the ability to "upvote" or "downvote" both images as well as captions submitted for those images. Ideally a user will attempt to increase their reputation or notoriety by evoking the larger community to provide them with as many upvotes as possible without exposing exaclt how close to Virgin Level 100 they truely are.
I typically upvote any image on Imgur that has to deal with cats, especially if they provide the proper amount of D'awww.

Imgur, pronounced "image-er", is an image host and is home to a community with members from around the world.
1. Imgur is a very reliable image host. Anyone, even those without an account, can upload an image. Links never die unless the original uploader deletes the image on their own. Furthermore, uploaders can change the size of their images by adding an s, m, or l in the URL - perfect for embedding possibly oversized images on forums and the like. Images can be shared through a variety of sites like Facebook and Reddit, the latter being the source of most of the gallery images' views.
2. Imgur features a gallery of some of the most viewed images on the internet that is updated daily. Viewers can upvote and downvote images and leave comments (which can also be upvoted/downvoted). The comment with the most upvotes of the day is the "top comment" and is the rough equivalent of frontpaging Reddit.. Because users can get the best images and screencaps from sites like Reddit, 4chan, and Facebook in one place, they don't have to risk going there and then clawing out their own eyeballs after viewing something they cannot unsee.
The Imgur community is a surprisingly close-knit one, with an almost family-like vibe. Imgur also has a love for any kind of "d'awwwww" picutes of animals, including cats, dogs, and lizards, as well as boasting an impressive NSFW section that is kept separate from the other images.

I'm only 30 points away from "glorious" notoriety on Imgur. Spare an upvote, anyone?
