Thottbot was a website originally launched in 2001 as a news aggregator for various online role-playing games. In August 2004, the site was re-written into a searchable database exclusively for the MMORPG World of Warcraft, as well as a plug-in that could be used in the game itself to gather additional data.[2] The website was discontinued on November 30, 2010 when its parent company, ZAM Network (now Fanbyte), merged it with its similar database website Wowhead.
Since the launch of World of Warcraft Classic, Thottbot is now redirected to the Classic version of Wowhead, with a "Thottbot theme" available.[3]
