Re: If you want to attract NEW readers, the site needs to be reworked from scratch DomA Send a noteboard - 21/11/2013 09:24:22 PM

View original post If it's to remain a WoTmania fansite, it can stay as it is and probably die of obscurity in a few years time.

As a WOT site it died pretty much around the same time as RJ. It's already an "obscure" WOT site for almost anyone but the old timers on various WOT sites.

There's really no point trying to keep that side of it, though I think the "other literarure" aspect would also take a huge amount of work and rejuvenation to lift off the ground.

To whom do you turn when you want to learn more about new books? Larry - 10/11/2013 06:17:07 AM 1398 Views
This is the only place. Tom - 10/11/2013 04:26:22 PM 1115 Views
Maybe, but I'm a bit skeptical Larry - 11/11/2013 12:14:36 AM 1052 Views

That might be swimming upstream against a strong current Larry - 22/11/2013 08:41:15 AM 1027 Views

I'm skeptical of the Economist. Tom - 16/11/2013 05:02:47 PM 991 Views
Which books were those? The Shrike - 19/11/2013 03:19:59 PM 998 Views
There were at least four or five bad reviews. Tom - 30/11/2013 05:41:45 PM 997 Views
I remember reading that book. I don't recall being impressed by it. *NM* The Shrike - 05/12/2013 03:37:59 PM 544 Views
I've essentially stopped reading A Deathwatch Guard - 11/11/2013 12:36:51 AM 1158 Views
I don't think very highly of the discussions on r/fantasy Larry - 11/11/2013 08:25:54 AM 1159 Views
I've never even been to r/fantasy A Deathwatch Guard - 11/11/2013 08:31:11 AM 1008 Views
It's akin to a stagnant pool where the malaria-infested mosquitos breed Larry - 11/11/2013 08:48:04 AM 1138 Views
I'd say this place is still the most influential for me. Legolas - 11/11/2013 10:29:19 AM 1007 Views
For some odd reason, I distrust Goodreads Larry - 14/11/2013 07:58:29 AM 1129 Views
"Distrust"? Interesting word choice. Legolas - 14/11/2013 09:32:35 PM 1114 Views
Perhaps, but I think "rating-based" reviews distort views to fit into a template Larry - 22/11/2013 08:47:18 AM 903 Views

Here mostly too. And bookshops over here. Rebekah - 12/11/2013 06:54:05 PM 953 Views
Bookstores here generally don't do recs very well (outside of independents, that is) Larry - 14/11/2013 08:02:16 AM 1001 Views
I have list of things to read longer than I have time to read random thoughts - 13/11/2013 05:39:59 PM 935 Views
So true Larry - 14/11/2013 08:03:16 AM 966 Views
I believe that in the past 5 years I have bought more books than I can read if I live to 100. Tom - 16/11/2013 05:10:21 PM 880 Views
here, mostly, but i also have less time to read (sort of) and a lot to read... temeraire - 19/11/2013 03:49:15 PM 895 Views
Quick, cozy comfort zone reads, more or less? Larry - 22/11/2013 08:52:37 AM 829 Views
It depends on what is happening at the time temeraire - 30/11/2013 12:15:55 AM 794 Views
