Very well said. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/10/2010 02:11:09 PM
I think there is resentment but it isn't down to anything you or other people at your site have done but rather how Mike handled the end of wotmania. For a lot of us, we feel like the inheritors of wotmania's spirit and that this site is the is the descendent of it, yet Mike's preferred option was just to parcel everything off to your site without taking our opinions into consideration. I don't doubt that Mike had good intentions but he handled things really, really badly and that has left things very, very touchy.

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.


What you say also is how a lot of us see it but our old "home" is now directing to your website and not here to our new "home" and that feels wrong (though I appreciate that you do have a link here on it and let people know about us)

Both diplomatic and accurate. Maybe Mike should've talked to you more about the transition. :P

I want to know more about this! Lord Gaidin - 09/10/2010 08:36:02 PM 1482 Views
I know! I don't understand why they're using the wotmania domain name for this... jiggy - 09/10/2010 09:45:26 PM 1516 Views

wrong spot, sorry *NM* ironclad - 10/10/2010 12:57:07 AM 660 Views
I guess Jason offered a lot of money then? *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:41:09 PM 754 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 614 Views
Indeed. Imagine this has quashed any vestiges of good feeling towards the man. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:47:12 PM 816 Views
Yeah, I wasn't overly angry with Mike before, but that's changed *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:58:51 PM 772 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 1384 Views
Huh. I completely missed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:49:52 PM 1578 Views
I bet you say that a lot, Beks. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:01:22 PM 824 Views
Are you saying I need glasses? Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:02:28 PM 1406 Views
Sure....it's the lack of glasses.... *smirk* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:23:12 PM 1454 Views
I'm glad you changed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:05:25 PM 1490 Views
I changed it right after I posted it! LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:22:38 PM 1504 Views
nonsense. I will indulge in my internet RIGHT to nerdrage!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 08:50:46 PM 784 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 1626 Views
yah, much as I don't like it, I can't be mad at Dragonmount. LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 09:01:04 PM 1444 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 697 Views
Of course it isn't, but he didn't have to do it. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:21:14 PM 1453 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 4268 Views
An orphan page isn't going to do us much good. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:41:36 PM 757 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 697 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 1326 Views
Right, like Planet Tolkien did after the Silmarillion. Joel - 10/10/2010 02:28:01 AM 1424 Views
I essentially totally disagree with everything you said and its underlying premises. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2010 05:36:01 AM 758 Views

Why would he name his movie site wotmania? *NM* Tashmere - 10/10/2010 12:12:09 AM 732 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 1325 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 789 Views
