We're a tight-knit group here, and you don't usually come across us by accident, but by no means are we elite or hard to find. As for how well known we are, I know I found this site through Kotaku, which was doing a piece on making a cover for Wii Sports, and linked here. Other people mention us on their forums, and I've seen minor youtube celebrities (for lack of a better word) mention us to their viewers too. We are known, but most people who come by are just looking to get covers, not join a community. We here in the forums are few (few being a relative term), but we know each other well, and we (for the most part) get alone very well. We welcome anyone who wants to be part of the community, but if all they want are our covers, that's fine too.
We are known. Maybe not famous, but enough people know we exist. We want to be known to anyone who can appreciate what we do, and that's it. We're a small niche here. We don't need everyone to know about us.
I hope that settles things here, before it gets out of hand.
