main page as a pun on thottbot:
Attachment 42

The linked story is over 9 months old.....

I'm the former CEO of Wowhead.com. I did sell the site to Affinity Media, which had just separated itself from IGE.

We basically viewed Thottbot as an ancient and ugly way of doing a website and focused on making Wowhead crisp and clean. I imagine the company that holds the reigns to Wowhead now did it as an April Fools joke :p

Interesting. I always thought that Thottbot had the clean and crisp approach ala Google. The black background of WoWHead has always been a turnoff to me.

That's probably just as true for all sites relying on user-generated content.

I've always used - and continue to use - Thottbot. The voting system is pretty good for the most part, and you can quickly find the posts that actually have value.

You should know that Thottbot copied his voting system off of Wowhead's much better voting system :)

EDIT - Wowhead has 5.2 million users. A site that big has to be doing something right 8|

I never suggested they were doing something wrong :)

I have friends who use Thott. I have friends who use Wowhead. I have friends who refuse to look anything up, ever. I even used to pay for a subscription to Allakhazam.

For simple item / quest lookups, I always use Thottbot. For equipment planning, where I know the filtering capabilities of Wowhead are far better than anything that can be achieved on Thott, I choose wow-loot.

Each to their own :)

I love your forum icon. I was an avid Ultima Online player for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.

What server did you play on? I was Chesapeake :)
