If it's not official, might want to talk to the Reddit mods about getting it removed or something. I dunno how Reddit works but if people think it's official when it's not problems could ensue.
I made it. GmK and iguana, who was senior staff at its inception are the current moderators. I made it for three reasons.
1) I've had a few people from BT recognize me on Reddit.
2) reddit is a potential goldmine for additional members to enter the community. Subreddits for other communities (mindcrack/minerap/civcraft) have had a large username gain through reddit and their subreddits.
3) placeholder for our community to prevent people from taking it over to potentially slander the community or use it to advertise other communities using it, potentially stealing community members from our userbase.
I know it's inactive ish, but with enough effort we could use the subreddit as a content aggregator from the forums and servers (reddit's purpose) and as a way of reaching to the minecraft community without spending money on advertising the servers, which the head staff have said to us before is a practice we would want to avoid spending donations on. This is because donations are solely used to keep the servers running.

The Blocktopia subreddit isn't entirely necessary because the forums community is very robust and active. Most minecraft community subreddits exist because they use it as their primary group page. Right now if people are linked to the blocktopia subreddit they'll get the impression that the community is not very active or strong which is incorrect. I'm not sure that attempting to split the community between the subreddit and the forums will pay off.
That said, reddit (/r/mcservers and /r/minecraft) are both great places to recruit new members. AoD certainly benefited from a few strategic posts here and there, and a lot of those new players also checked out the other servers in the cluster and became active members in the community.
