False. I left in 2010 - this was the last thing I did: http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/apnsu/helping_haiti_be... I left to go volunteer for Kiva in Armenia and stayed on as an advisor and eventually board member.

I don't think that timeline is accurate. For one thing, Gold wasn't launched until 2010[1], not 2006, which is a huge difference. Additionally, while Alexis did move on to also doing other things, he never really left reddit. He's still on the board, for instance.
