Yeah, he checked out and then was definitely phoning everything in at the end.

Which was conveniently after he'd finished using the site as fodder for his education. 
Of course, at the end, those fuckers in chat were making it miserable for him. I don't completely blame him for shutting the site down. I do blame him for the way he did it and for not offering or being open to any means of continuity. He could have let others run the site. He just didn't want to. It was his toy and no one else was going to have it. People always defend him by saying it was his site. And that's true. But his site was absolutely nothing without the users who made it something of value. And in the end, he pissed on us and left.

www.wotmania.com no longer leads to a Dragonmount page letting people know where we are.

Honestly, it's probably an oversight, or a temporary measure. EDIT

I still think Mike was a total asshole for not having it link to this site anyway. Whatever. *shrug* *NM*

He never considered wotmania anything more than a WoT fan site...

Me, too. For a long time I was like it didn't matter, we owed the guy for the site, blah blah blah.

Was it you who came up with that exporting software? Worked fine for me, once I figured it out.

No, he goes to "womania.com" but sometimes accidentally types a "t".
