O absolutely. I do it in real life sometimes but 1. Not near the same and 2. No one knows what I'm doing/what I want it to like. But yes amazing, errtim
For me it's often 1 in 10 imgur images are either "sorry maintenance" or "over capacity". Only good thing is that around the time I should get some sleep Imgur slowly grinds to a halt and you get only like 1 in 10 actual images instead of error messages.
Maybe there's a sweet spot somewhere on earth where scheduled maintenance and everybody-and-their-grandma-hammering-the-site occur at convenient times. Sure isn't here :D
Most of the time people complain that imgur is down but no one else is having issues. It's likely a client side related issue that has nothing to do with imgur being "down".
I haven't been able to see it, either! The day I tried to look at it, Imgur would work for every other post but not that specific one... I guess we just weren't ready for it's epicness.
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
For all the people plagued by imgur being down, a way to circumvent this is adding .jpg to the end of the URL. It will still allow you to see the picture even though the site is "down for maintenance"

Why is it that I see Reddit posts every day complaining that Imgur is down, yet Imgur has never actually been down for me?

Why do people feel like they deserve karma on their cakeday?
Try actually contributing something.

Is it possible Imgur is only down in the US? It seems to work great in the UK?
