I know moving a subreddit is a pain and we'll probably hemorrhage 2/3rds of our users, but easier to do it sooner rather than later. Plus, we are currently in a lul due to the disaster so now seems like an opportune time.

We will no longer be allowing new posts in this sub in an effort to encourage the transition.
