There are numerous problems with the previous version of this article, which is why I cleaned up the article and is why I've rolled back from the last edit (Which was essentially a rollback from my cleanup). Given that the vast majority of the edits to this article have been made by LoZ.com staff members, I suspect a conflict of interest. There are issues with neutrality, unfounded claims and organization, in addition to serious grammatical errors. The history section titles are inconsistent - Some are based on events, others on specific dates, and some overlap in places or would flow better as a single section. The external links section has been superseded by the website infobox and is no longer necessary. All shortened references to the site should be LoZ.com, not LoZ. Forum statistics are unnecessary. They would require constant updating and add little to the article. Some excerpts with major problems:
 * "...but »-LasT-ChaNcE-« and Xízør™ run most of the day-to-day affairs of the site in Link of Hyrule's life in WoW while on a drinking binge-induced extended hiatus." - This sentence doesn't make any sense.
 * "LoZ.com culture is based around its forums, second only to the forums at Zelda Universe." - Quantitatively LoZ.com's forums are 17th to Zelda Universe; qualitatively this statement needs sources and should not be stated as fact.
 * "Humor, freedom of expression, tolerance, and love of fun are the major motifs of LoZ.com culture. However, LoZ's reputation of having strict and sometimes stolid moderators and administrators was well earned, and is not let down in the present day." - This reads as straight opinion, not fact, especially without citations.
 * "After the relaunch of 2004, LoZ saw a tremendous spike in user activity, including joining, posting, logging in, et cetera." - This sentence seems tedious and redundant. Given that we're referring to a forum, user activity must be joining, visiting and posting...
 * "The administrator Cartoons rebuilt the site within hours, but was promptly blamed by LoZ's ever pervasive n00b population as the actually perpetrator in the hacking." - Who is "LoZ's ever pervasive n00b population" and how is this group defined? This sentence also has problems with grammar and "n00b" is used derisively; not appropriate for this Wiki.
 * "Over the course of three days in the month of July, 2005, »-LasT-ChaNcE-« rebuilt the forums, struggling through code and administrative procedures, not just to rebuild the forums, but to make great new forums that would dazzle the members of LoZ.com and hopefully spark more activity." - Reads as opinion. If these were »-LasT-ChaNcE-«'s intentions, they should be described as such.
 * "(currently renamed "lozmedia.com", where all of the media for LoZ.com is stored)" - This should be placed in the section about Xero Gaming and perhaps expanded on.
 * "(better known as simply "Chance")" - This should be used with the first instance of "»-LasT-ChaNcE-«" in the article, and each instance following it should use the shortened version or none at all.
 * "LoZ activity skyrocketed and hasn't slowed down much since." - Citation needed.
 * "Despite the success of the new layout, LoZ will not undergo another layout change for a good, long while due to amount of exhausting effort required to successfully create and implement such a thing." - Where did this information come from? Has LoZ.com stated this?

Please address these issues in the previous version before using it again. - Fury Three 22:24, 19 March 2008 (EDT)
