Just move it over to your computer and upload it to Imgur. If you've got a smartphone handy, though, you can just shoot it straight to Imgur from there.

The hierarchy is pretty straightforward: you’ve got your regular Redditors, then the Moderators (who basically run their own little subreddits), followed by the Supermoderators, and finally the Admins. Most Admins are just focused on their own specific sets of goals and day-to-day tasks.

As for how they keep the lights on? It's all through advertising. If you want to get into the weeds with the numbers, check out the Marketing Agency page and that old interview from 2009 featuring Jack Anderson.

You probably won't find a straight answer for this kind of thing through a basic Google search, but you might get lucky if you ask around on Reddit. From what I recall, Politico kicked things off back in '97, and I'm pretty sure the original forum followed shortly after in '98 or '99—it eventually morphed into its current setup around November 2002. I actually know a few old-timers from the original site who still hang around; maybe one of them will drop by and give you the real scoop on how this all started.

As far as the ownership goes, nothing has really changed over the years. We're all under the umbrella of Monitor Plus LLC, which is owned by Jack Anderson.

It’s the same deal as posting on Reddit. Or, if you want to keep things even simpler—just shoot over an email.

You're dropping a link to a webpage instead of actually embedding the image.

Almost there. You just need to strip out that forward slash right before the IMG in the first set of brackets.

To start things off, you should probably head over to the Top Gear threads in this subforum—especially FAQ.

If you just go with the button-click method, it’s way easier—you basically type out your text (in this case LOL), highlight it, and then follow those instructions up top. It’ll automatically drop the LOL right inside the brackets for you.

It’s currently off the market for the general public. Should be back up and running soon enough, though.

I mean, what can you even say at this point? It feels like we've been circling the same drain for months, doesn't it? Every time I think we've finally hit rock bottom, someone finds a way to dig just a little bit deeper. Honestly, it’s exhausting. You look at the news, you check the latest updates, and it's just more of the same—more noise, more chaos, and zero actual progress. Is anyone actually surprised anymore? I feel like we’re all just collectively nodding along because the alternative is admitting that everything is a bit of a mess. We sit here, dissecting every tiny detail, hoping to find some sort of pattern or logic in the madness, but maybe there isn't one. Maybe it’s just random. And if it’s just random, then what are we even doing here? Just spinning our wheels? It’s hard not to get cynical when the "solutions" being floated around seem more like distractions than anything useful. But hey, that's just my two cents. What do you guys think? Or are we all just pretending everything is fine now? The user says:
So, can someone walk me through this—can I just upload an image directly from my computer to the Reddit thread, or am I stuck having to host it somewhere else first and then just pasting the link?
I've tried this a hundred different times now—seriously, a hundred—and I keep getting hit with that same "ERROR: image exceeds Reddit quote limit" message. It’s stuck at 27 MB. What am I even supposed to do with that?
And the file size on the image is only about 5 to 8KB.
Can someone please explain what the hell is actually going on here?

Hey there.

Look, if you upload an image directly from your computer to Reddit, the server has to actually host that file. If every single person started dumping their photos here, the servers would be absolutely choked with useless junk before you could even finish your morning coffee.

So, first thing you'll need to do is grab your image and upload it to an image hosting site like Imgur. ImgurThen just toss it onto Reddit. Honestly, Imgur is such a breeze—you upload your stuff and it immediately spits out that ready-to-go copy-paste code you need for your posts. It’s pretty much foolproof. 👍

If a thread actually manages to be useful, it’s pretty unlikely they’ll just delete it—more likely they'll just merge it into something else.

As for everything else, I thought Jessica Nelson4 gave some pretty solid answers. 🙂

I reckon we’ve had our fill of the circus for one lifetime...

"The boss" is Anderlon...

Look, nobody is actually tied down by a contract here—if we all get bored with this place, we can just request a blue username and be done with it. 😉

What do you mean it’s not working? Give me some details. A screenshot would probably help clear things up too.

-> Custom User Title

Not really.

But if you want to get specific, you can actually filter a user's posts within a single thread. Just look at the top right corner of the topic, click "Search this topic," and then hit "Advanced Search." It’s a bit clunky, but it works.

Nah.

It’s possible those images were wiped from the hosting server—you might want to double-check if they're actually still sitting there.
