#2221 dealt with, thanks.

I'm leaving the Lampung University listing, as I assume the problem to be temporary. The site was indexed by Google on 13 Feb.

Exhibit Surveys is working for me in the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. So it doesn't look like a browser problem. Maybe the site is blocking access from a particular IP range.

Top: Computers: Internet: Proxying and Filtering: Hosted Proxy Services: Free: CGI Pr

Hello,

I want to note a few corrections for the Category Top: Computers: Internet: Proxying and Filtering: Hosted Proxy Services: Free: CGI Proxy
under http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy/

  • Anonymous Browsing Quick-Start Page: doesn't exist anymore, redirects to w3.eftel.com
  • @nonymouse: Correct name is "Anonymouse" and correct address is http://Anonymouse.org/
  • Surfola: is out of order; main-page can be accessed, but news are nearly 4 years old and "click here to try as a guest" is not working.
Cheers,
SunnySam

PS.: I love DMOZ!

#2231 looked into. The two shopping listings seem acceptable under current guidelines. The business ships worldwide and so can be listed in the main Shopping tree. But it is UK-based and ships faster within the UK, so earns a Regional shopping listing.

The two deep links were listed by different editors, who clearly thought them a useful addition to the categories in question. Who am I to argue? I may personally feel that the Internet would be a better place if totally purged of Recreation: Humor: Bizarre: Dancing Pages, but tastes differ. :) These are not product deep links.

Hi.

I may personally feel that the Internet would be a better place if totally purged of Recreation: Humor: Bizarre: Dancing Pages, but tastes differ.

They should change the category to Recreation: Not humor: Annoying: Dancing Pages.

No longer there:
The Electronic Guide to Shepton Mallet - An interesting and useful selection of information for both local residents and visitors.

Site Suspended:
Alham Wood Cheese - Producer of buffalo milk cheese. Profile of the farm, product ordering and contact details.


Furniture Fifty9 - The company crafts a range of contemporary furniture, combining temperate and exotic hardwoods, and aluminium elements. There is also the Fifty9 limited edition range.
is a doorway page for
Honeycliff Designs - Offers custom built contemporary and Shaker influenced furniture and ceramics. Includes pictures and prices of typical items and wood finishes.

Nothing on page:
Shepton Veterinary Group - Offers expert consultancy on Mastitis.

Dead:
St Aldhelm's C.E.V.C. School - Prospectus, calendar and gallery of recent work for this primary school at Doulting.

URL Hijack? or holding page:

Item #2237 has been dealt with.

I left the FurnitureFifty9 site listed and actually removed the HoneyCliff Designs. The link for Honeycliff designs is actually a doorway page to FurnitureFifty9 and another furniture maker site. Seemed more appropriate imo to keep the actual site page and remove the other in this case.

Thanks.
