Re: If you want to attract NEW readers, the site needs to be reworked from scratch DomA Send a noteboard - 21/11/2013 09:24:22 PM

View original post If it's to remain a WoTmania fansite, it can stay as it is and probably die of obscurity in a few years time.

As a WOT site it died pretty much around the same time as RJ. It's already an "obscure" WOT site for almost anyone but the old timers on various WOT sites.

There's really no point trying to keep that side of it, though I think the "other literarure" aspect would also take a huge amount of work and rejuvenation to lift off the ground.

To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books? Larry - 10/11/2013 06:17:07 AM 1651 Views
This is the only place. Tom - 10/11/2013 04:26:22 PM 1332 Views
Maybe, but I'm a bit skeptical Larry - 11/11/2013 12:14:36 AM 1280 Views

That might be swimming upstream against a strong current Larry - 22/11/2013 08:41:15 AM 1255 Views

The Economist, NYT, and WSJ The Shrike - 11/11/2013 01:05:36 PM 1188 Views
Very true Larry - 14/11/2013 07:57:14 AM 1270 Views
I'm skeptical of the Economist. Tom - 16/11/2013 05:02:47 PM 1247 Views
Which books were those? The Shrike - 19/11/2013 03:19:59 PM 1244 Views
There were at least four or five bad reviews. Tom - 30/11/2013 05:41:45 PM 1235 Views
I remember reading that book. I don't recall being impressed by it. *NM* The Shrike - 05/12/2013 03:37:59 PM 645 Views
I've essentially stopped reading A Deathwatch Guard - 11/11/2013 12:36:51 AM 1396 Views
I don't think very highly of the discussions on r/fantasy Larry - 11/11/2013 08:25:54 AM 1425 Views
I've never even been to r/fantasy A Deathwatch Guard - 11/11/2013 08:31:11 AM 1212 Views
It's akin to a stagnant pool where the malaria-infested mosquitos breed Larry - 11/11/2013 08:48:04 AM 1366 Views
I'd say this place is still the most influential for me. Legolas - 11/11/2013 10:29:19 AM 1216 Views
For some odd reason, I distrust Goodreads Larry - 14/11/2013 07:58:29 AM 1375 Views
"Distrust"? Interesting word choice. Legolas - 14/11/2013 09:32:35 PM 1351 Views
Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template Larry - 22/11/2013 08:47:18 AM 1149 Views
Call me old fashioned... DomA - 11/11/2013 02:47:37 PM 1187 Views

Ah, I understand a bit more now. Thanks. Larry - 22/11/2013 08:50:26 AM 1189 Views
Here mostly too. And bookshops over here. Rebekah - 12/11/2013 06:54:05 PM 1186 Views
Bookstores here generally don't do recs very well (outside of independents, that is) Larry - 14/11/2013 08:02:16 AM 1241 Views
I have list of things to read longer than I have time to read random thoughts - 13/11/2013 05:39:59 PM 1165 Views
So true Larry - 14/11/2013 08:03:16 AM 1202 Views
I believe that in the past 5 years I have bought more books than I can read if I live to 100. Tom - 16/11/2013 05:10:21 PM 1119 Views

Quick, cozy comfort zone reads, more or less? Larry - 22/11/2013 08:52:37 AM 1048 Views

I'm guessing you must live in a larger city than my suburban (exurb?) town of 15K Larry - 22/11/2013 08:54:58 AM 1169 Views
