  Subscribe to this thread so you will be notified when there is a response from staff. They can move your subscribers for you. Then only have patience until they get to you.

  (see the modlook tag on the right?)

  No, that is there so staff will see the request you made here. I’m a volunteer so cannot help you. Just subscribe (also on the right) and staff will let you know when it’s done.

  Hi there,

  I’ve migrated your subscribers for you. Keep in mind that your WordPress.com followers will only see new posts in the Reader. They will not receive email updates unless they subscribe to receive those on your new site, which they can do if you’ve added the Subscriptions widget.

  Happy blogging!
