This is an interesting problem. I'd assume that many if not most of the people discovered the thread through just random browsing (or atleast pretend that they did). What after browsing /vg/ and seeing the thread for a while finally decide to give it a shot and you drag your bros with you?

Do you join and pretend to not know them? Slowly trickle in over time? The Genie is out of the bottle, you're all browsing the thread at this point.
