[edit] Advertising?

Someone (Perfecto) marked this article as being an advertisement, and not being objective. In truth, this article was written by several users of the site in question, and not the site owner.

If you've got specific gripes with items that you think are not objective, please be more specific with them. Until then, I'm reverting the changes you've made. The people who worked on this tried very hard to keep this from becoming an ad. In truth, the site does not operate at a profit, and is more of an on-line community anyway. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dstumme (talk • contribs) .

While I agree that the intent was not advertising (as I was one of the GameTZ site members who helped write the article), I can see how it could be read as advertising copy. The article needs to be rewritten to a more neutral point of view in order to more acceptable to the Wikipedia commmunity. --nihon 23:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad, Nihonjoe, you see it the same way. -- Perfecto 01:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Only in that any article about any website is advertising. This one just happens to use more advertising-style prose than most. It was written to let people know about one of the oldest trading/barter sites on the web. Since it's been around in one form or another for almost 10 years, it's certainly worth writing about. --nihon 02:49, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
