my site "gone" (please re-insert)

My Hawaii travel site was in the Open Directory since 2000, but must have been dropped from the listings in the last few months. Looks like the tax. was fiddled with and they dropped lots of sites. I'm afraid that my host was probably sending timed-out or 404 messages to the dmoz spider and the editor just axed it. Can someone re-insert me?

I'm sure a lot of editors would like to help, but you seem to think we can read your mind <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Some information (URL of the site, category it was listed in) would be greatly appreciated <img src="/images/icons/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Seems you (and a lot of others) were the victim of a known bug. One moment ago, this cat had 12 sites listed. Now that I've applied the fix, it has 52 <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" />

You should be able to see your site there again in a moment <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

[added: the public side has updated and your site can now be seen in the cat...]

Thanks for the cure for that nasty bug! I thank you for the other 40 sites, too. Is this bug something that could randomly recur or has this cat been innoculated now? It's just crazy that something like that could wipe out so many listings.
 

They weren't wiped out, they just didn't appear on the public side of things.

In my experience it is quite rare (and is easy for us to fix)...it appears to me to be a side effect of the upgrade that is currently going on. Thanks for bringing it to our attention <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />
