Hi everyone. We're recreating what we lost when /r/HistoricalWhatIf went private. Long story short, the sub creator decided to eliminate the entire moderator team and make the sub private. This was done without any warning or discussion.

So, we're trying to recreate the community in /r/HistoryWhatIf! We want the same kind of discussion, same rules (before the troubles), and the same community spirit that made the old sub fun.

If you're wondering why I'm posting here, it's because this sub was originally a spin off of HistoricalWhatIf, and I assume nearly everyone here was subscribed there.

For now, we don't intend to do anything differently from how things were done for the whole last year. We want the original team back (minus the sub destroyer) and all the original users.

If you were banned under the old regime, you're welcome to the new community, but please observe the same rules that were in place there.

If you happen to have saved any of the old sub's links, please resubmit them through a text post so they aren't lost for good (although they seem to be). And please let people know about this new community.

Thanks everyone. If you have any thoughts or concerns, please voice them here or through modmail on the new sub.
