Thank you for coming here and clearing things up snoopcester Send a noteboard - 10/10/2010 04:50:03 PM
I think there is resentment but it isn't down to anything you or other people at your site have done but rather how Mike handled the end of wotmania. For a lot of us, we feel like the inheritors of wotmania's spirit and that this site is the is the descendent of it, yet Mike's preferred option was just to parcel everything off to your site without taking our opinions into consideration. I don't doubt that Mike had good intentions but he handled things really, really badly and that has left things very, very touchy.

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.


What you say also is how a lot of us see it but our old "home" is now directing to your website and not here to our new "home" and that feels wrong (though I appreciate that you do have a link here on it and let people know about us)

I want to know more about this! Lord Gaidin - 09/10/2010 08:36:02 PM 1113 Views
I know! I don't understand why they're using the wotmania domain name for this... jiggy - 09/10/2010 09:45:26 PM 1153 Views

wrong spot, sorry *NM* ironclad - 10/10/2010 12:57:07 AM 499 Views
I guess Jason offered a lot of money then? *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:41:09 PM 607 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 639 Views
Yeah, I wasn't overly angry with Mike before, but that's changed *NM* Stephen - 09/10/2010 08:58:51 PM 605 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 1037 Views
Huh. I completely missed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 08:49:52 PM 1221 Views
I bet you say that a lot, Beks. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:01:22 PM 651 Views
Are you saying I need glasses? Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:02:28 PM 1066 Views
Sure....it's the lack of glasses.... *smirk* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:23:12 PM 1082 Views
I'm glad you changed that. Rebekah - 09/10/2010 09:05:25 PM 1131 Views
I changed it right after I posted it! LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:22:38 PM 1125 Views
nonsense. I will indulge in my internet RIGHT to nerdrage!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 08:50:46 PM 615 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 1181 Views
yah, much as I don't like it, I can't be mad at Dragonmount. LadyLorraine - 09/10/2010 09:01:04 PM 1080 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 533 Views
Of course it isn't, but he didn't have to do it. LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:21:14 PM 1082 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 3519 Views
An orphan page isn't going to do us much good. *NM* LiterateDog - 09/10/2010 09:41:36 PM 592 Views

For what it's worth, after A Memory of Light comes out Dragonmount will go down like a rock. Tom - 09/10/2010 09:44:27 PM 1141 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 969 Views
Right, like Planet Tolkien did after the Silmarillion. Joel - 10/10/2010 02:28:01 AM 1077 Views
I essentially totally disagree with everything you said and its underlying premises. *NM* Tom - 10/10/2010 05:36:01 AM 587 Views

Why would he name his movie site wotmania? *NM* Tashmere - 10/10/2010 12:12:09 AM 579 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 974 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 619 Views
