yeah interesting that they sold out...but not shocking, thats why you make websites like that in all reality
also funny, that with wowhead's rise, and the zam sites leveling off...that neither alla or thott would freshen their sites up some
alla still looks like a site from the 90s...

Which part?
The part about WoWhead being part of the Zam network now? Yes.
The rest, inconclusive.

prepare yourself!
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
Ahmed, the only thing that you've proven to me is that you might know an admin over at Wowhead. If you're going to sling mud and claim that IGE is still very connected with Allakhazam, then you need to bring more proof than, "I was right before!"
Something smells fishy.
The fishy ain't me, I groom often!
Yes, we own WoWHead, IGE is not affiliated with us in anyway, shape or form.

Back to the question at hand.
You going to make Alla suck less now or are you going to make WoWhead suck more?
Or are you gonna keep it pretty much seperate like Thot / alla?

You have to question the similarity of the Q&A put up on wowhead and the "interview" put up back at OGaming. :/

IGE got sold. As far as I am concerned, and I publicly state this as an employee of allakhazam.com and therefore Affinty Media, IGE (and by this I specifically mean the IGE that we used to be affiliated and are no longer) can go F*ck themselves with a rusty spork.
Any questions?

I posted on the website, and the guy confirmed that it was indeed him that posted here.
It may be controversial, but I would appreciate it if he was unbanned, as he does bring up interesting points, and it would be quite a bit easier to converse. He hasn't done anything worth banning or sub-defaulting for, except for bringing up some controversy. If that's all it takes for banning, then how the hell did half of the posters here get past 500 posts? I'm looking at you, bodhi.

Yep you need premium to show off the graphical funneez.
I dunno Kershbob, seems pretty straightforward to me
Looks like back in the day, Affinity Media honestly believed that eventually, they could integrate the secondary market/RMT business with MMOs, and that eventually players would come to accept it. They tried for a while--as seen in that ogaming interview--and now they've finally gotten the point that the gamers just aren't going to buy it.
Good riddance to IGE, I say.

WoWreader has been around and "manually" uploading user information since I started playing WoW back in beta phase 2. While I was a player actively helping shape the information that came in since the admins couldn't handle it all and I still remember Alla from the EQ days when stuff did need actual editing, WoWreader has essentially always been there.
You really trust a guy who doesn't have basic information straight? The only reason - if any - that at the time the Zam servers were ridiculously bogged down and slow...well, and that Cosmos was about the only UI mod in town back then and it came with a module that sent information to Thottbot. At least he did get that part right.

Yet at the same time - all this content was manually submitted by end-users, and then manually inserted into the system by Allakhazam and his staff. Efficient? Not even close.
Then came World of Warcraft. Talk about being blind-sided.
...
But Thott was also a damn good programmer. Seeing what LUA could do, he wrote a script which saved information on everything the user saw - items, quests, creatures, NPCs, etc. He then wrote a program that would connect with the Thottbot.com site, and upload this data.
The entire process had not only been simplified, but the middle man was cut out. Allakhazam depended on users to send data, the admins to verify, and then the data to go live. Thottbot’s system required no manual submission by the end-user, no verification by admins, and the data went instantly live.
...
Eliminating ‘waste’ won. No longer did the user have to manually submit, nor the admin verify. The steps from ’submission’ to ‘live’ was streamlined. And so was the site - bloat was eliminated, and focus (on the data) was awarded.

Only the exceptions can be exceptional.
Yes, it is amazing how some of these people breathe much less play MMO's.
