The subreddit is currently coming up with a theme for itself (based on part of the name that was automatically generated for us), and has seen users sharing spare copies of games and introducing themselves.

The next batch of people to join us started slinging slurs around, at which point I closed the tab. I'll have to have another go at this tomorrow, if it's still up.
