Thanks for the explanation, Jason! jiggy Send a noteboard - 10/10/2010 08:50:40 AM
Jason Denzel here. I just had this thread pointed out to me today. And it was brought to my attention for the first time that the wotmania domain was pointed at my film production site. If it means anything to you, I had no idea that was the case. The wotmania.com domain points to my IP address. And if there's nothing setup for the domain, it defaults to my Argonaut Media website. So that's why you saw that.

It means a lot that you came here and let us know what was going on. Thanks! :)

More generally, I really hope you don't harbor any hostility toward me, Mike, DM, or any other parts of the WoT community. I was as sad as anybody else to see wotmania close down, and I think it's awesome that you guys have kept the spirit of that site alive. It will always be Mike's decision on what to do with the domain. I'm simply fulfilling his request.

I can't speak for others, but I hope I do: I certainly harbour no ill feelings towards yourself, DM or Mike (Being a web-master is a big responsibility!). I think what struck a raw nerve in some of us was the idea that the old domain name, which many of us had grown to love over long years with friends, was somehow being turned inside out and misused.

I really do think there is potential for the fansites to live on past the end of the series, especially with a story as strong as WoT. If DragonMount has a community as strong as Wotmania did, then I have no doubt that it will survive!

Thanks again.
*MySmiley*_________jiggY,
~Life's a puzzle. Go figure.

I know! I don't understand why they're using the wotmania domain name for this... jiggy - 09/10/2010 09:45:26 PM 1440 Views

wrong spot, sorry *NM* ironclad - 10/10/2010 12:57:07 AM 617 Views
I guess Jason offered a lot of money then? *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:41:09 PM 716 Views
We were told it was about the "trust" that the wotmania members had put in Mike by signing up. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 08:46:11 PM 577 Views
Indeed. Imagine this has quashed any vestiges of good feeling towards the man. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:47:12 PM 773 Views
Yeah, I wasn't overly angry with Mike before, but that's changed *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:58:51 PM 732 Views
Someone had already pointed this out in the other thread from a while back. It's bullshit. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 08:48:27 PM 1309 Views
Huh. I completely missed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:49:52 PM 1500 Views
I bet you say that a lot, Beks. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:01:22 PM 785 Views
Are you saying I need glasses? Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:02:28 PM 1333 Views
Sure....it's the lack of glasses.... *smirk* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:23:12 PM 1385 Views
I'm glad you changed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:05:25 PM 1413 Views
I changed it right after I posted it! LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:22:38 PM 1434 Views
nonsense. I will indulge in my internet RIGHT to nerdrage!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 08:50:46 PM 747 Views
Oh, I'm not saying don't be mad over it and don't talk about it. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 08:58:47 PM 1499 Views
yah, much as I don't like it, I can't be mad at Dragonmount. LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 09:01:04 PM 1359 Views
I don't know; pretty sure a redirect page isn't terribly rough on the servers. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/10/2010 09:13:58 PM 657 Views
Of course it isn't, but he didn't have to do it. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:21:14 PM 1376 Views
The dragonmount wotmania landing page with the redirect is still accesible if you google wotmania *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 09:37:16 PM 4195 Views
An orphan page isn't going to do us much good. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:41:36 PM 715 Views

For what it's worth, after A Memory of Light comes out Dragonmount will go down like a rock. Tom - 09/10/2010 09:44:27 PM 1458 Views
good point, but that doesn't make me feel better about Mike being an ass *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 09:46:18 PM 652 Views
Oddly it makes me feel better. He has a point. "Read and Find Out" is a timeless name. Tashmere - 10/10/2010 12:14:29 AM 1244 Views
Right, like Planet Tolkien did after the Silmarillion. Joel - 10/10/2010 02:28:01 AM 1345 Views
I essentially totally disagree with everything you said and its underlying premises. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2010 05:36:01 AM 716 Views

Why would he name his movie site wotmania? *NM* Tashmere - 10/10/2010 12:12:09 AM 691 Views
He might have picked it as it has some recognition in the area he is making films snoopcester - 10/10/2010 12:25:52 AM 1255 Views
He didn't, it just redirects there. And judging by the Twitter comment that wasn't on purpose. *NM* Legolas - 10/10/2010 12:57:04 AM 750 Views
