Adding my forum to the directory

How do I add my forum to this directory?

My forum is <URL Removed>

Several times I have tried but something is not accepting it. I just submitted it again, so it should show up on the list soon shouldn't it?

Not necessarily.

You have apparently suggested your site to the directory.

That is all that you can do.

Now you wait.

Wait times cannot be predicted and can be several years, or several minutes, depending upon the category.

We have an excellent FAQ, http://resource-zone.com/forum/faq.php, that is definitely worth reading.

It feels like it's been more than a year now in my submission of...<URL Removed>

If I am not allowed to post this link in the forums for you to check on or if you can't give me some information on what I am doing wrong, remove the link and let me know. Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble.

We do not do status checks in this forum.

There are announcements to that effect plastered all over the forum.

We would be extremely unlikely to list that URL. We have a strong preference for listing a site once, by the root domain, and only depart from that for "exceptional sites". It is basically always inappropriate for a site owner to ask for that kind of special treatment.

 

[Churchwork]

Most sites don't have their forums as a root domains only. Check those various sites in the first post of this thread, so this contradicts your idea hutcheson.

Even my root domain is not accepted to the best of my knowledge in attempting to submit it.

Let me know. And thanks.

I searched for <url removed> here...

Hopefully you can make an exception to figure out why its not working.

 

[spectregunner]

Funny that you haven't mentioned your related URL that is listed.

 

[Churchwork]

What related URL?

 

[brmehlman]

If he tells you, I or another moderator will delete it from his post, probably before you have a chance to read it.

I know his work though, and I surmise that if he says you have a listed url then it's virtually certain that you do.

 

[Churchwork]

How do you search for it? I have tried to search for various terms in the open directory and nothing comes up.

Can't you just email it to me privately? Or give the link without the making it a link?

There has to be a way to find out.

Neither my root directory <urls removed> shows up here http://dmoz.org/ or here http://dmoz.org/cgi-bin/update.cgi?w...ats_and_Forums

What do you recommend?

Once again, we don't do status checks here.

Since that's what you're trying to get, I'm closing the thread. Do not start another on the same topic.
