Wowhead Acquired by ZAM Network

ZAM Network has acquired Wowhead. This isn't exactly breaking news, as it has been a couple of days since I heard about it, however, it's noteworthy.

Apparently, ZAM is the current owner of Thottbot and Allakhazam, and the former owner of IDE, the RTM company. John Maffei, president of ZAM Network assures us in an interview that there will be no advertisements for gold sellers or power levelers on Wowhead, and pretty much attempts to put much distance between his company and the likes of IDE. I believe this, as the gold ads have disappeared from the other two sites. My one concern is that the quality of the site doesn't take a nosedive like Thottbot did, though the press release attempts to lay those fears to rest.
