it's time for us to pack up and move on to bigger and better things.

So, I was visiting the reddit headquarters at a very bittersweet time for the team last week. It was a little painful to do, but I helped the guys pack up their stuff and move out of the old office for good.

And reddit, none of this would have been possible without you. You are the website, we just maintain it. So we'd like to take this opportunity to say goodbye...

... to our old office! We've been upgraded to a new, bigger, more badass office just down the hall!

So now we'll have more room to breathe, stretch, and wrangle servers so the site will continue to stay up and you can continue being the most awesome community that you are!

Here is a sexy 3D comparison of our offices done in Google SketchUp by spladug. (click the image to get the SketchUp file to play around with!)

Why should you care about any of this? Because, roughly one year ago we had to post that "reddit needs help". And now, thanks to the awesome community and thanks to hard work by all of the admins past and present reddit has more people, a new office, and room to grow. Thank you!
