I joined Imgflip in 2018 so I wasn't hear when JohnnyMcCheesebag joined. I'm said I'm dumb because I searched up is name thinking that there was no user called that. But there was a user called that.
I talked to the Mod Acuity12 awhile back about that account...He said it was an administrative account that they use to store memes or something like that...when I fist started, that account only had 1.7 million ppints...they didn't change it to that bogus number until I passed it...

Woah. I wonder, what memes do they store with that account?
In my opinion, Imgflip isn't transparent enough. Only global mods (basically admins) like Acuity seem to know what's going on behind the scenes.
I kinda wish that Imgflip was more transparent. Hell, Dylan (Imgflip founder) should make announcements about what changes are going to be made before they take place. But from what I've seen, Dylan isn't online much. Just search his name on Google (or whatever search engine you use) and a you'll see that he goes on the internet very rarely.
Here's a hypothesis. From my observation, when an image you post here gets deleted, the notification that says it was featured changes to saying it's featured in the "deleted stream". So my hypothesis is, no images are actually deleted. They're simply going somewhere.
