Well, I don't think it provides news and last I checked this wasn't a furry Craigslist. The other articles provide news that could be of general interest.
"Fortunately, "furry journalism site looking to recruit staff for relaunch" is a perfectly appropriate topic."
That could be but I see a distinction between reporting on a furry site looking to recruit staff and the actual attempt to recruit staff. But maybe that's just me.
But again, like with FurTrax, you've got an article written by someone with a vested interest in the content and no disclaimer. Even if it's clear by the wording it should be stated outright. To me this is just like "sponsored content" which is nothing more than advertising pretending to be objective commentary. Surely if Microsoft authored a positive review of Windows 10 and submitted it to a computer site but no mention was made that the post was by Microsoft you would find that a bit disingenuous?
