Well, it seems that DMOZ has been experiencing unspecified hardware problems for more than a week. More than a week with editors unable to log in; more than a week with no updates whatsoever; more than a week without any ability to explain the problem or offer an estimated time for it to be remedied. I think this will be remembered as the week that DMOZ died. Even if the servers ever come back on line (which no one from DMOZ has been willing to predict), I think that what remaining credibility the directory had left is now gone. The open directory model is, however, too valuable to the Internet community to be lost, or more specifically, to allow it to be discre…

The site I want to submit is a purely informational in nature but I am having a hard time finding where it goes. It's a collection of articles relating to man made diamonds. Obviously, it's not shopping (as so many entries seem to be) - so what is it? Thanks!

I am trying to submit a site for a workers compensation law firm in NH, but a New Hampshire category does not exist for workers compensation law firms - although there categories have been created for other states. I hate to submit it to the United States because the firm only practices in NH. Although I assume that an editor would automatically create a NH category for workers compensation firms, I have never listed a site before, and want to make sure that I don't make a mistake. Please help. Thank you.

I searched in vain for "new category" and "new subcategory", so I applied to be an editor in the broader category, and in my narrative, suggested a new and fairly narrow subcategory, which I was volunteering to edit. My application was declined on the basis that the parent category was too broad for a new DMOZ editor. So... how do I propose a new subcategory? Thanks much, Bill

Scalable algorithms do it much better. At this point, I couldn't really care cause I've lost faith in this thing called Dmoz. For over a year, I've tried to submit my site <url removed> to dmoz repeatedly without luck. I decided to become an editor, and just got my application denied. Common reasons of being denied, a)poor quality sites, b)self promotion, c)out of scope, etc, etc, etc. Yea right, poor quality site, u look at my site and tell me it's a poor quality site. It is entirely custom coded with algorithms I learned while getting my Computer Science Degree from the University of Maryland at College Park. Heck, u time it, and the pages loa…

Hello, I submitted a couple of week ago the new information for my website: The web site, named "Cruelty Crawler" was already listed in this category: http://dmoz.org/Society/Issues/Animal_Welfare/Animal_Rights/Activism/ Now it has been renamed as "Wildlife Offenders" with its new url <URL Removed> but it has same content and features than the former one. I seen that an editor reviewed the new site, but in the Directory the old one (with its dead link) is still shown. Is there any problem? Thanks for a kind reply.

A month or so again i realised that i'd got listed in DMOZ, the search index even got updated and i was able to be found via the search function on the site. A good couple of weeks later however my listing disappeared and although as with many people i lose no sleep over not being listed, needless to say it was rather frustrating to have got listed then dropped off the list. My site was obviously suitable for listing (otherwise surely it would not have been listed) so my question really is, was the removal due to server problems that we all know dmoz has had in recent times or perhaps just a case of over competative editors attempting to push out the competition (somet…

Not one to have a paddy but I've been waiting patiently for our website to be listed @ Home: Family: Pregnancy: Chats and Forums Now I notice a new entry (I'm 80% sure it's new) http://www.No URLs here please ... and it's a closed forum with no frontpage (unless you class the Apache server index as a front page). Seen here: http://www.No URLs here please Now I understand that it takes time to be listed, but come on guys (and gals) I'm feeling a little downhearted when sites like this get put on and our community that has hundreds of thousands of posts and hundreds of active members get over looked. just a grumble... ignore me W.>

Hello DMOZ editors, I'm very happy bacause I got listed in DMOZ and I appreciate it. I just have some questions because I want to do things in the right way. My site has two versions because it is translated in English and Spanish. I got the Spanish index listed under the right category: World: Español: Salud: Medicina alternativa. I wonder if it is possible tolist the English version under a similar category? Which one? What I must do? Could this harm my first listing? I want to be right with your rules. I appreciate your reply, Brandon

hi everyone! i am completely unhappy with dmoz....and i would like to tell you why..in the hope these things could maybe change some day: - dmoz has a big influence on the web, but it is not organinzed well enough to be able to handle this responsibility. Some of these influences are: - influence on whether websites are found on search engines and whether they are indexed and how fast. You can say that is none of your business, but that's the way it currently is and therefore you have a great responsibility. - influence on whether websites are ignored or considered on websites like Alexa. Sometimes people are curious what the biggest website is in a certai…

Hi, can anyone advise me how one can check if a particular category does have an Editor assigned to it.... and possibly what the current workload situation is within a category - ie no outstanding submissionto be reviewed, or 3 months backlog etc. I ask because I expect this would give me some idea as to where my company site stood in the review process. like many folk I first submited our website in the mistaken belief that inclusion in the Directory was a must for decent search engine rankings. as others have also discovered, this is not the case - in less than 4 months of enhancing our site content and getting decent backlinks, our small site now has a goo…
