Removeddit was created as a temporary replacement for Ceddit, at a time when Ceddit didn't work. - I thought this was necessary since I used Ceddit more then Reddit itself. - Months later Ceddit was fixed, but I didn't see any reason to remove what I had done. + Jesper thought this was necessary since he used Ceddit more then Reddit itself. + Months later Ceddit was fixed, but he didn't see any reason to remove what he had built. Today both sites live side by side and strive for the same goal.
