Looks like /u/soccer and the other mods are gone, as are the links to the conspiracy/racist/mensright subreddits in the sidebar. There's a thread[1] by /u/thetinguy at /r/redditrequest asking for moderator's rights. Maybe he just could redirect it to this subreddit, since /r/xkcd looks essentially dead.

The only reasonible course of action at this point is to get /u/xkcd added as a mod on /r/soccer.

Could someone explain all of this for me? I didn't know there was drama around xkcd.

Okay, so are we redirecting to /r/xkcd, or is /r/xkcd redirecting to us?

Looks like /u/soccer has dropped off the map, he's lost mod status at a bunch of other subreddits recently. Good fucking riddance.

Was /u/thetinguy being deliberately non-helpful in his replies to modmail to not raise suspicion with the head mod or something?

How many times did /u/winterd get banned, that's seriously impressive that he kept at it. Its thanks to persistence like that that we finally have our beloved xkcd back! Thanks all!

Props to all the mods here who did an awesome job of informing everybody about the old mods being dicks, set up a kick-ass alternative and finally helped take the original subreddit back! Congrats!

Migrating to /r/xkcd would be better, I think.
