Follow-up: apparently IGE may still be a part of Affinity.

It's cool guys.
What will happen to Wowhead?
Skosiris: Wowhead will continue on as the site everyone has come to know and love. Only, now we will have more resources to complete the plans we have already begun to make the site even better. Expect some great enhancements to the site soon!

I m fine with this ...

Sure from a technical and business standpoint this is definitely a step forward. The fact that Wowhead...probably the only World of Warcraft Database that was not owned by major companies / gold farmers got bought out...just a bit sad =/

Sort of like your favorite store being bought out by a bigger company.

I'm taking the wait and see approach....Maybe it will still stay a nice site...maybe it will go to crap. Time will tell.

I "switched" from Allakhazam to Wowhead because Alla when they got sold....and I just don't like Thottbot.

Let's hope it doesn't change much.
