I suppose longtime users still go to it, and it seems to be somewhat better known, since it was the first. I try to spread the word about Wowhead as much as possible on my server, a fair amount of people on it use Thottbot, which perplexes me.

Wowhead and Thottbot aren't mutually exclusive. There is some information on Thottbot that isn't on Wowhead and it being the first does mean it has long-time fans.
Why does that make it worse? Why do people have to downrate and insult Thottbot? It's was a brilliant service, it still is and it was the first of it's kind. How about Allakhazam? Why isn't that mentioned? Or Curse's WoW DB (blatant rip-off of Wowhead but not my point)? Or even MMO-Champion's?
Thottbot isn't the only one aside from Wowhead, you know.
Thottbot was the first of it's kind. And it should be appreciated for what it is and was and what it does; a database for World of Warcraft, for NPCs, items, quests, zones, auction prices, etc. And it worked and it works.
It's not the point that Wowhead may do it better but that they only done better because of what Thott produced. Some may say if Thottbot never existed someone else would've have made it and while that's true, that's not the point.
Thotbott did exist, it does exist, it was the largest WoW database at some point, it had a huge database and all other WoW databases are practically based off it, to some degree or another.
It also still earns ZAM money (just as Allakhazam still does). If it's not useful for it's data it's useful for it's community. Just like Allakhazam is, or even Wowhead. I can use Wowhead as a database, but I'll probably get an entirely different community if I use Allakhazam, MMO-Champion or Curse.

Thottbot has some good info on spells and how they link throughout the game. As for details, I'll let an admin go over that if they so choose.
In either case, the correct spelling is Wowhead, =D

Is there anything on Thottbot now that's not on WoWhead? (Services that are better than WoWhead's is what I mean) I remember back in the day when Thottbot was all we had. WoWhead just came out of nowhere and smashed the competition.
Don't even mention thottbot ever again.

Why for some reason did this not make grammatical sense? D:
Because I can change the past itself.
