Too much bitterness yet. Joel Send a noteboard - 10/10/2010 06:11:42 AM
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? :) Jason@dragonmount.com

See you around
-J

Different interfaces don't help either; FWIW, I prefer the other one, but that makes me about 2% of the site. This didn't help, but it seems like an honest mistake and it's fixed. Some of wotmanias Elders don't like WoT and anything to do with it's tainted, which also doesn't help. That's apart from the ever present temptation to declare a Board War for fun.

A LOT of people (including me) are angry that the redirect isn't more prominent, especially right now. RAFO is pretty much the primary heir of wotmania since Mike and Pento aren't doing it, Larry still posts here in addition to BotF, and there's still plenty of WoT content even without the TP and the FAQ, so it seems like we should be the primary alternate. Of course, not being privy to the decision making there I can't comment on the rationale. That, too, makes people more inclined to cry foul when an accident happens, if no more justified.

I guess Jason offered a lot of money then? *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:41:09 PM 609 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 453 Views
Indeed. Imagine this has quashed any vestiges of good feeling towards the man. *NM* Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:47:12 PM 641 Views
Yeah, I wasn't overly angry with Mike before, but that's changed *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:58:51 PM 607 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 1043 Views
Huh. I completely missed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:49:52 PM 1225 Views
I bet you say that a lot, Beks. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:01:22 PM 653 Views

I'm glad you changed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:05:25 PM 1135 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 1184 Views
yah, much as I don't like it, I can't be mad at Dragonmount. LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 09:01:04 PM 1083 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 535 Views
Of course it isn't, but he didn't have to do it. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:21:14 PM 1085 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 3521 Views
An orphan page isn't going to do us much good. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:41:36 PM 594 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 521 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 972 Views
Right, like Planet Tolkien did after the Silmarillion. Joel - 10/10/2010 02:28:01 AM 1080 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 979 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 623 Views
