Has anyone tried to buy imgur from you and who?

u/MrGrim replied

Imageshack tried to buy it 6 months after I made it. Glad I didn't sell...

Imgur is now bigger than they are, as well as yfrog which is by the same company.

[9/10]I'll ask what is everyone's minds. How do you say imgur? I need to hear it from you. Alan. Edit: I know this question was totally googleable, I just wanted to join in.
