as a man grows bored of his normal lifestyle, a man named Dylan Wenzlau has an idea, he develops a small meme site with his buddies, at first it doesnt seem like much, just an idea after all, maybe it will grow, maybe it wont (hint: it did grow) as more and more people started to join, imgflip soon became a somewhat cool place to just post memes with you friends, and with free posting privelages, came trouble, people started to post stuff that we would call "despicable" according to todays standards, so to do this simple fix, dylan developed a filtration system, it only filtered simple swears like the f word and beaver dam, but still, there was trouble, so because he didnt want to filter the meme system and make people ever more annoyed, he developed a team of admins called "sitewide mods" and as more memes came in, it was just a jumbled up mess, with random memes here and there, so once again, to fix this conflict, he created the invention of "streams" so he set up the basic streams you see today, like fun and gaming and cats, but now people can create there own streams of there liking, so as that, everything seemed cool as a cucumber on imgflip, until more and more people poured into the stream...
