If you really want to make it difficult for people to find this place, an idea might be to raise the technical threshold required to view it: serve it on telnet like a BBS-era board, or run it as a Tor hidden service, or better yet: both!
It might be a bad idea for some reason I cannot conceive of right now.
One thing is not want people wondering around, looking for a quick random answer, as this site is pretty much about community.
Other is make it difficult to access by a random, specific criteria, such as technical hability. Yes, I am no tech hacker, never used Tor, but I try to be part of this community as valuable member. I think community is about aligning interests, not an exclusivist club.
Ahh...my first guess was that every hyperlink was just nofollow, but I see HN discussion threads come up fairly frequently in Google searches (on technical topics)
