Did the 9GAG team join YC before or after developing this site?

If what is stated in the title ('YC S12') is true, then definitely yes. 9Gag has been around for close to four years. But that begs another question? Why did they choose to join YC then? They already had their product out and had a pretty large user base - what does YC have to offer them?

They started 2008 [1]. So far afterwards.
