Re: There were plusses and minuses to a decision either way. ßelals Girl Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 07:38:55 PM
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....


Why would a Pratchet/Tolkien/Martin fan come to THIS website either? They likely have their own themed websites they would go to before this one. At least if we had a theme, we would have some sort of draw to come here, especially with the next book due out soon. As it stands, I don't really see any draw to come to this website other than for the community, and that only appeals to people who were already members of Wotmania, not new people.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work that went into this place and I hope we do get a lot of newbies. I just don't know how that will happen yet. Hopefully, the higher ups do :)

Does anyone know why wotmania redirects to that Dragonmount and not here? *NM* Сталин - 01/09/2009 04:37:17 PM 579 Views
Because wotmania wanted to direct newcomers to a WoT dedicated site, I'd imagine. Mats Gambling Buddy - 01/09/2009 04:41:31 PM 425 Views

I'd guess Mike had agreed it early on and felt he had to go through with it snoopcester - 01/09/2009 04:43:49 PM 423 Views
I would speculate, but it might degenerate into namecalling Camilla - 01/09/2009 05:00:10 PM 399 Views

Another reason may be that his friendship with Jason goes much further back than with most of us. Burr - 01/09/2009 05:24:38 PM 458 Views
