I had a thread that I got exremely frustrated with for many reasons, I am sure it may have some effect on my future within the directory but I accept that as I went and made an ass of myself by relying on some information that was sent to me that in most cases was not correct, and because it offered the best answer for my concerns I had no problem accepting it and using that info here. After taking a day or two away I found it wrong with what I had done with poking at the editors but this was from frustration and information I wanted to believe at the time. I didnt want to just walk away without letting the editors and modorators know my feelings in the end and now …

I just thought I'd stop in and say hi from the great state of Minnesota. I'm a hopeful editor for my rural hometown's category and I believe in DMOZ's mission to provide quality, unique, and interesting content. In regards to the Internet, my main interest is in forum communities. The dynamics of such communities fascinate me, whether it's moderating or just participating. Hopefully I'll get to know some of you over time. Take care!

hi, going against the tide of what is usally said about DMOZ editors, i think it's about time i did another appreciation thread. i did one back on October 31, 2002, 11:59 PM on this particular forum. so i think another one is due! heck it's almost been 3 years. in particulary myself and my collegue jimmy (who was the one who pointed to me that indexing is becoming more frequent) give thanks to the editors that frequent the Australia region, we have noticed an increase in submissions getting listed in a quicker time frame over the past 3-6 months. we hope we make the work for you's easy by providing good descriptions on the sites, but if you's have any furt…

I'm sorry, but I just have to have a little fun with this ... But I'm amazed at how prominently the notice of submission status discontinuance is posted throughout the RZ and even in many Ed/Mod signature blocks and yet folks STILL ask ... Just as funny though, are the one's who think they can "skirt" the issue by conjuring up "tales" of how an editor said to check back after "x" date and now what?? Or even the ones who think they're smart enough to find new ways to ask ... get real! I know that it must be very frustrating for you poor Editors, Moderators et al, but at the same time, I hope you're able to take with a grain of salt and simply laugh at the stupidit…

Today, I was accepted as an editor! I was denied only once of two times applying for an editorless fifth-tier category. Here's what I screwed up in the first app: My sample site additions belonged more precisely in a parallel category that I didn't recall existed. In the app, I pointed out several problematic links in the category. I made sure the reviewer of my app knew I had a thorough understanding of what good and poor links for the category were. I hope these tips serve a worthy applicant well! Take care!

Hi everyone. This is just a thread to pass along an idea, and perhaps someone out there may find it useful. If you think for a moment, and wonder how people's lives are made better to some degree simply because of the existance of non-profit and charitable organizations. For example, if you've ever had a family member that has received hospice care. Or maybe someone you know has a disability. On a much broader scale, the pure water you drink, the clean air you breathe, the education you've recieved -- much of these are made possible due to the efforts and/or supplemental assistance from non-profit organizations. Many non-profit organizations are started mostly …

Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is LeAnne, I applied to become an editor to a category a month or so back and received a response that it was to large of a category for a new editor so I just now reapplied for a smaller local category. I am a SAHM to 3 little ones in NC-USA. Looking forward to getting to know everyone.

I just watched that documentary entitled "Bush's Brain" and as a conservative myself, I was very shocked and appalled by some of the actions of Mr. Karl Rove...I had heard this fella was a rather slippery idget, but some of the things that he may have done are simply dispicable and are not indicative of the "right".....I could not believe that he had the nerve to blast Sen. McCain regarding his military service....simply disgusting Just was wondering if anyone else saw this one?

I feel sad and sorry to know the discontinuation of site status checks. Its always difficult to give up something good and useful. None the less, peace and support to all the Moderators and Administrators who had to take this step. However, I'ed also like to know about everybodies views and support on this. Coz I am sure that there are loads of people out there who maybe feeling that same way and would like to share them and that'ed really be appreciated by all. I dont know that if anybody could have helped to avoid the discontinuation, but I also understand that sometimes by taking a step backwards we maybe able to move forward. Also I wish and hope that RZ cou…

Hello World! I have been reading allot lately and I have a question that has been asked before, but I feel it has to be reviewed. Site submission works fine, and even without submitting all my web pages are listed. But.... and here it comes...(don't kick me out, please) I want to remove my website from Dmoz. It's stealing attention from my pages and Dmoz gets a higher rank in all search engines. I know you say you won't or can't remove it, but there has to be a way out? Couldn't you just ban my site, give me some tips and tricks on how to rank higher than Dmoz? Or just ? I'm out of words. I can't understand how you can treat people this way, there has to be …

I've met the phrase "Volunteer to edit this category" on the bottom of several pages. Does it mean that there is no editor for these categories at the moment?

I just noticed something that doesn't belong.... http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Domain_Names/For_Sale_or_Auction/ LongIsland.LI - Offers Long Island domains. The description should be "Offers Liechtenstein domains." That's actually a very bad thing because DMOZ is actually helping them pull the wool over the eyes, if you know what I mean.... I know it's a mistake but many people may see that and believe it to be true... .li is a Liechtenstein TLD

Last year I launched a website with a free domain name which somehow got into Dmoz. I truly don't remember submitting it here because back than I was a complete Noob and didn't think much of it. Since than that site has been given a new .com domain name and has be re-engineered. However now that I am a bit more knowledgeable in the Webmaster field and understand the advantages of being in Dmoz, my site is not there anymore. If I was a bit more smarter back than I would have done a 301 re-direct, now I have to start my journey of getting listed in Dmoz from scratch. In fact, it's interesting, the site is not in the category anymore but if you do a search for it, the site w…
