As we get ready for summer, check out what's new at GameTZ.

o Address in Offer Settings

o New Java Chat
o GameTZ User of the Month
o Christmas in July Secret Santa
o Address in Offer Settings
You can now enter your address on your Offer Settings page and it will automatically be sent to the person you are trading with when you both agree on the trade. This is essentially a convenience for you, so you don't have to remember to send it every time. The address is kept privately and will only be sent to someone if you both agree to the offer.
Here's a direct link to the Offer Settings page:

o Reviewer Icons
If you write reviews for GameTZ, you will now get an icon next to your username. The icon shows a pen and paper. Hovering your mouse over the icon will give a count of how many reviews you created in the last six months. Clicking the icon will bring you to a page that shows the reviews you have written. If you've written 5 or more reviews in the last six months, the reviewer icon will be gold.
There are now over 170 reviews available in GameTZ's review system. Thanks to all the people who have submitted them, and a special thanks to the Review Editors for making them shine.
If you're interested in writing some reviews, simply look-up the item you want to review and click the [review it] link next to it, or use the [review it] link next to any user page listing.
o New Java Chat
After many years of service, the old GameTZ Java chat has been retired. It was buggy and lacked many features, but some of us will miss it still. It has been replaced with an IRC-based Java chat which is packed full of features. It puts private (whispered) conversations automatically in their own window. It has full support for emoticons. Links are click-able. You can right-click any username to get a menu of commands (including user-page look-up, mini-matches, or just saying "hi"). Also, it has a scroll-back buffer. There are more features to numerous to mention.
Long live the new Java Chat!
o GameTZ User of the Month
The GUM for June is ryanflucas. Ryan has been on GameTZ for nearly 4 years now. In that time he's racked up a ton of trades (705 total, with 407 different traders). He gets a lot of repeat business, which is not surprising because he's a great trader and all around cool guy. He's well-liked by everyone at GameTZ. Congratulations, Ryan, enjoy your trophy icon and 5 weeks of subtime!
o Christmas in July Secret Santa
Here's a special message from a couple of our regular GameTZ traders, CygnusTM and Lynx. They are setting up a Christmas in July Secret Santa, where everyone who signs up agrees to send a gift to another person who also signs up.
June 15th is the deadline. There are already 17 people signed up.
Here's a link with the complete details:
