I heard that due to some issues, DMOZ resorted to a older version of their database - when will the new one be re-implemented?

My site was listed and now it is no longer their and it's been over 2 months now?

The public side of DMOZ reverted to an older backup, yes, which led to some sites temporarily disappearing. That's the bad news.

The good news (if you can call it that) is that the file that most downstream users require to do updates (known as the RDF) hasn't been generated either, and, as far as I know, it won't be until the public side is up to date.

As for an estimate on how long it's going to take - the last I heard was some time towards the end of this month (July).
 

I could have sworn you posted this same thing over at webmasterworld. How will you handle it if you don't get the exact same answer at all the boards where you posted this?

Your site has been delisted (by me) for being part of http://www.azatiko.com/ which is listed twice at this point. I don't see why all but one of your services are on azatiko.com - spreading a business's services over different domains doesn't usually get it more listings.

At the moment dmoz.com has a more up to date version of the ODP data than dmoz.org. The data that you currently see at dmoz.com will not be available soon. The server that hosts it is going offline in about 48 hours time.

I don't know if you'll just get an error message then, or whether it will be redirected someplace else, However, I expect that it is on someone's (very long) "to do" list, but unlikely to be anywhere near the top of that list.
