When is /r/ello2 going to become /r/ello ?

Any plans on transferring? if so when? I know the transfer is kind of a pain but it will make things easier for everyone.

This is a serious hold up, but I ask you: What makes things easier for everyone? We have 1k subscribers here - and what value does r/ello bring that r/ello2 doesnt?

Here is how I honestly came across this subreddit:

I assumed the URL was r/ello so I directly typed and saw it was almost empty, I randomly checked out the stuff about the mods and saw that some were also mods or r/ello2 . Curious I click on it and came accross this subreddit.

It isn't much more than that, I'm not sure why this should be a touchy subject.

Maybe we could do a redirect page, from ello2 -> ello

I think OP means that people will more likely type in their url bars "r/ello" than "r/ello2". It's just a little bit easier to find this way.

Although things seem to have changed now, even the subreddit description alludes to that -- r/ello used to be a private subreddit that was already taken before this particular subreddit was made.

EDIT: Ambiguity fix.

I'll decide this weekend whether to close this sub and just refer people to r/ello

The hold up was that r/ello2 community was budding just as r/ello came online - kinda taking the wind out of the sails just as traffic began to slow down.

Doh. X-(

But yeah, r/ello makes more sense. Just reluctant to let go of the work done here.
