    Do you still use Thottbot?

    Back in the days, it was a well known website, but nowadays? Do you still use it?

    Edit: forgot a yes or no poll

    Is it even still in operation?

    I remember using it back in Vanilla/Early BC but by the time I capped out for the first time (2.3, despite playing since about 1.10) it was mostly Wowhead.
    FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)

    I honestly forgot about it. I used to use thottbot after switching from FFXI to play WoW, but then I found WoWHead and have been using that ever since (because it's similar to Alakhazam from what I was used to).

    EDIT: Confusion

    Thottbot is to Wowhead as Netscape is to Google.

    Thottbot? You are not a veteran if you didn't start with Allakhazam. All the 3 sites have a singular owner nowadays though anyway.

    Yeah, I think that was the site I started with in BC, then Thottbot, then Wowhead. Might even still have it bookmarked somewhere.

    No, but in the past Only needed for Quest Info, To check which level will a specific spell be available for my class and also rep gear rewards. Ah the MEMORIES <3 haha

    Thotbot reminded me of that vid called Jimmy:The World Of Warcraft Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeUhSjuhQYE

    No, wowhead is better. I didnt even know thottbot was still a thing.

    Thottbot and Allakhazam where the go-to places when you were stuck on a quest, but when WoWhead came I didn't look back at them. I'm not even sure if they're still being updated, pretty sure Thottbot hasn't for a while.

    at one point when starting with wow,but then quickly went to allakhazam as comment section on thott was comparable to 4chan sadly,and then wowhead since it became the leading database.

    This brought back some memories

    Thottbot is now just a facade - it looks like Thottbot, but underneath it's actually Wowhead.

    It did have some useful tools that no other site has even today; the ability to search by obscure item/spell mechanics for example.

    I absolutely loved that addon that linked quests to thottbot comments way back and you used tomtom to mark the cords for each quest. The comments added a lot of fun to questing for me as they was either to the point, or just funny and not garbage like today.
