Hi everyone,
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.
Anyway, I've fixed it so that it points to the right landing page.
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.
In regards to Dragonmount "dying" after the books are over.... Again, I really hope you don't harbor that much hostility toward the site. I mean, really, what harm have we ever intentionally caused? I have no plans of letting the site fade to obscurity after the books are complete. If anything, I truly see this as "a" beginning: the start of the movie era. The start of the gaming era. The start of new book covers. New audiences. This franchise is alive and well. And there's room for all of us, right?
If you guys ever have questions about stuff like this, or if you notice the domain isn't doing what it should, then EMAIL me, okay?

See you around

I know! I don't understand why they're using the wotmania domain name for this...

We were told it was about the "trust" that the wotmania members had put in Mike by signing up.

Indeed. Imagine this has quashed any vestiges of good feeling towards the man. *NM*

Someone had already pointed this out in the other thread from a while back. It's bullshit.

I don't know; pretty sure a redirect page isn't terribly rough on the servers. *NM*

Of course it isn't, but he didn't have to do it.

The dragonmount wotmania landing page with the redirect is still accesible if you google wotmania *NM*

Truthfully (and I'm sure I've expressed some of this before at one point or another)...

For what it's worth, after A Memory of Light comes out Dragonmount will go down like a rock.

good point, but that doesn't make me feel better about Mike being an ass

Oddly it makes me feel better. He has a point. "Read and Find Out" is a timeless name.

Why would he name his movie site wotmania? *NM*
10/10/2010 12:12:09 AM

He might have picked it as it has some recognition in the area he is making films
10/10/2010 12:25:52 AM

He didn't, it just redirects there. And judging by the Twitter comment that wasn't on purpose. *NM*

I'm not angry at anyone. Wotmania died aug 2009.

Unless someone is willing to buy the domain or he's willing to sell it, it's his.

Frankly, I agree, but having heard the arguments the other way, I can see that side.
