Such is life. And now such is a slow death. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 12/04/2013 08:27:38 PM

The mistakes of wotmania were repeated here. One could argue that Facebook sapped the community. And possibly it did.

But many WOT fans transitioned from posting/replying only about WOT to posting about other things and becoming part of a wider Community because the board was one. Then they were split off. Into a ghetto from which they didn't need to come out of. And the community ossified. Wotmania was already dying before Mike decided that if he couldn't play with this toy then no one else should.

And now the series is done. The theories are gone. And the posts have gone too. One wonders why the boards are not all integrated into one board in order to try and save what can be saved.

But perhaps it is death that they seek. If so, they are going about finding it perfectly.

Site not always working for me lately *NM* Yuri - 07/04/2013 11:33:20 AM 465 Views
Yeah, I've noticed that a lot too. My browser gives up after the site takes too long to load. *NM* Cannoli - 12/04/2013 08:24:49 PM 460 Views

I'd like to see some discussion about Fain... TyrReborn - 07/04/2013 06:39:32 PM 1030 Views
Why? In light of his ocnclusion, he should have just died about 7 books ago. *NM* HyogaRott - 11/04/2013 04:15:31 PM 466 Views
We can discuss Fain, but like Shadar Haran he was a total let down Isaac - 13/04/2013 08:22:51 AM 1014 Views
Add Moiraine to the let-down list..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/04/2013 04:13:05 PM 464 Views
True, other than a speech that was effective because the author said so, she diesn't do anything Isaac - 13/04/2013 06:01:38 PM 1151 Views
Yes. And it is far past time this board was folded into the Fantasy board *NM* Nighthawk - 07/04/2013 07:24:26 PM 414 Views
It was going to fade into memory regardless, at this point the fear is it being forgotten A Deathwatch Guard - 08/04/2013 04:18:27 AM 1050 Views
It will be forgotten in another 3-5 years. I second the "fold this into the Books board" sentiment. *NM* Tom - 08/04/2013 06:36:42 PM 500 Views
Perhaps we should have a Fantasy Books board and an Other Books board..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2013 03:52:05 AM 554 Views
What's wrong with one board? It's not like there's much discussion going on *NM* Nighthawk - 09/04/2013 04:30:59 AM 430 Views
Especially not when the site is down every few hours or so. *NM* Tom - 12/04/2013 06:21:15 PM 445 Views

I think Facebook is a big part of it. Tom - 12/04/2013 09:49:47 PM 988 Views
I like the anonymity of a message board, personally *NM* Nighthawk - 12/04/2013 10:50:14 PM 423 Views
Looking back, Mike was kind of a dick with that decision. Anonymous2000 - 13/04/2013 04:19:20 PM 919 Views

I was so dissapointed with the ending that I just don't care about the series anymore. Evil_Monkey - 11/04/2013 05:13:24 PM 975 Views
Curious - what about the ending was so bad for you? *NM* Anonymous2000 - 13/04/2013 04:11:48 PM 440 Views
