One of the sub category is removed from ODP

Hi,

I am the webmaster of a coupon site.
My site was listed in the following category for one year until January 2002.

Home/Homemaking/Frugality/Coupons/Online_Coupons/

I noticed that the above category has been removed from ODP, since January 2002.

Hence, my site as well as one hundred more sites do not exist in ODP.

I would like to find out, whether this is a temporary problem?

If not, is there any way those sites can be listed in the parent category -

dmoz.org/Home/Homemaking/Frugality/Coupons

I have written emails to editors -
malibber and mariamic.

Please help me.

The category isn't coming back. Most sites were removed for being affiliate sites or duplicate material of what was already listed through another URL.

You've had a long discussion about this at searchengineforums.com, right? I think you got good answers there.
