There were plusses and minuses to a decision either way.

With the next book coming out very soon, we could have really used the newbies. I really wish we had kept WoT a bit more at the forefront , at least at first, so they won't all go to Dragonmount instead.
Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances. I still believe this is the biggest reason the links all redirect to Dragonmount, but on the other hand, why should a Pratchett fan, or Tolkien fan, or Martin fan who either never heard of or (worse) intensely dislikes WoT come to a WoT focused site? Five years from now we may be taking in Dragonmount refugees....
I really couldn't fault either decision, even if I would have preferred it went the other way.

Does anyone know why wotmania redirects to that Dragonmount and not here? *NM*

Because wotmania wanted to direct newcomers to a WoT dedicated site, I'd imagine.

I'd guess Mike had agreed it early on and felt he had to go through with it

Another reason may be that his friendship with Jason goes much further back than with most of us.

Well, the transition group asked if he'd at least consider it...

Nonsense. Insulting people endlessly is the best way to get them to do things!

We are just disapointed for the lack of acknowledgement of Bens hard work...
