Discussion/Question Announcement - Merger with /r/onebag

Greetings all!

First, I want to thank you all for joining me on the mission to create a vibrant community to discuss the art of packing efficiently. We split off from /r/onebag, because the sub was becoming a bit of a train wreck, and change was necessary. Just over a year later, the lone moderator of that sub stepped down, allowing control of the sub to pass to a great mod team.

So, what happens with /r/onebagging?

Now that control of /r/onebag has turned over, we will be implementing the same things there that have been successful in this community. The look and feel have been ported over already. We are using the rules here as the original set for the new /r/onebag.

I see no benefit in keeping the content on the subs separate. I encourage everyone here to re-subscribe to /r/onebag. If you were banned by the prior mod, please send me a message, and I will manually approve you to be added back. This may take time, depending on the number of bans he handed out.

The benefit of merging the two communities will be a much larger community to share ideas. This will be great as we go forward. I will keep /r/onebagging up, in case anybody wants to access the older content, but this will be a less active community. If you post, please do so at /r/onebag.

Thanks again for coming on this little adventure with me. See you on the other side!

Interesting, and really unfortunate that he(/or she?) was behaving that way. All this happened a long time ago and just recently came to a head?

As a long time subredditor it was the first I had seen, and when it happened the mod went to many many threads and was a bully.

Whack. Good thing the situation has been remedied.

Everything here but hopefully all is sorted out and this subreddit improves.

Yeah, as of a few days ago, wasn’t there an r/onebag? What happened to it?
