I was also in this room, merged in from powerlanguage's side into Notch's group. The group ended up convincing about 40-50 members to vote to Stay, and when the vote passed it created a private subreddit for the group with random members as admins (including Notch). This was before auto-vote scripts and bots became common.

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.

Unfortunately /u/powerlanguage chose to grow on without us.




That sounds like a lot of fun!

I ended up in a group of four, of whom two were initially inactive. One of them eventually started chatting (apparently the desktop notifications hadn't worked) and we voted 3/4 to grow again. 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.
