Game Grumps Subreddit

The Game Grumps Subreddit is the main community hub for the Game Grumps. It has roughly 68,000 subscribers (as of this writing), and is where people are redirected if they visit http://gamegrumps.com.

History
Mattmagician first asked the mods to include linkage to the original GGIRC landing page. This was added to the sidebar, which was then styled into a fancy custom header menu with clever CSS. The problem with this was that many Reddit users did not know about / understand / bother to look at this custom menu, so the link was very obscure and hard to find (even when you were told where it was). BroCube found the link after a while spent specifically looking for a Game Grumps IRC room, and began pestering the subreddit mods for their help to increase visibility of the IRC.

The first request was fulfilled by Steel_Ninja, who answered a request for a topic promoting the channel to be stickied. It remained stickied for a couple days, which drove a lot of the initial users to the channel. Steel_Ninja has popped in the channel intermittently, though usually only when called.

The second request was filled by xandan (aka TheXandan in IRC), which was to move the link out of the CSS menu and back into the sidebar proper. Further pestering was made to change the link into a more highly visible button. Xandan passed this on to Vgam3r and Nekkoru, subreddit mods newly hired specifically for working on the subreddit CSS, who fulfilled the task with much gusto. Xandan, Vgam3r and Nekkoru frequent the GGIRC regularily.

Xandan has also agreed to stickying the occasional post promoting the weekly steam game giveaways.

Further relentless pestering is being made by BroCube to make minor changes to the wording of the button, but this is on the backburner while the mods make more crucual changes to the CSS. When the new landing page is complete and hosted properly, a request to change the button's hyperlink will be made.

All in all, the subreddit and moderation team has been an instrumental help in supporting and promoting the IRC, and we love them for it. Full homo.
