WordPress.com readers are not transferred as there isn't an equivalent on the self hosted side to transfer to unfortunately.

I've updated the support document. Thanks for pointing the ambiguity there out!

Unfortunately, we actually do need hear from someone who has paid for the transfer and had their own experience with it before we make a decision. There's still the matter of what they said on their own Q&A page.. But thanks for your help! :)

I am busy and I will not search for the Staff comments in forum threads to prove that to you.

I also know that purchasing the guided transfer upgrade does not change what I stated above.

Think about it please and you will comprehend the big picture.

There is no Reader in WordPress.org installs. Staff cannot transfer followers from the WordPress.com Reader into thin air. It's technically impossible to transfer those followers. Only email subscribers can be transferred.

We want to know if anyone has paid for the guided transfer and which "subscribers" wordpress was actually able to transfer..

When they said they would transfer all of our "e-mail followers and subscribers" you think they were referring to e-mail only?

What exactly do you think they're referring to?

[opinion] If you don't have what it takes to set up your own WordPress.com install all by yourself then in my not humble opinion moving to self hosting is premature. [/opinion]

Here there is a WordPress.com community that has access to the WordPress.com Reader and other features like the Topics Pages. There is no such thing at WordPress.org at all. There is a support forum and that's it. WordPress.org installs are stand alone islands there is no community and there are no shared features. Hence WordPress.com Staff cannot move followers on the WordPress.com Reader to a VOID.

Email and wordpress subscribers won't all even be transferred with the paid transfer service? So frustrating!

WordPress.com Staff cannot guarantee that every email subscriber they transfer for you will continue to be a subscriber. I have moved blogs in both directions (to WordPress.org and from WordPress.org) and there was a loss of subscribers moving in both directions.

I want to make sure we keep all our WordPress subscribers and our stats.
