I hope this is the right place to post this. Since 2003 my website has been listed in the appropriate category in DMOZ and just the other day I was doing a search and realized it has recently been deleted. It is a small local dating site which has never had very many active members (around 1500 currently) and a couple of support staff / volunteers. I have never really promoted it much except basic seo - hence the extremely slow growth. Having said that, even though this is a very small site I don't think we have ever broken any rules or violated any of the terms and conditions of DMOZ.

Our site has changed quite a bit over the years and has had many revisions, however our focus has remained the same (local personals site for the community).

Anyway I was advised to post here for possible assistance and I was wondering if there is any way I could find out if my site got pulled by Robozilla due to a temp server glitch. The category it was listed in is:

/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom/Northern_Ireland/Society_and_Culture/Relationships

I can supply the URL if someone here has time to look into this for me. If not thanks anyway for taking the time to read this :)

We won't discuss specific websites here.

In general, websites are removed temporarily if they become unavailable or if they are in transit to a different category.

Either could trigger a re-evaluation. It's possible that a website that was listable years ago might not be listable today, in which case it's removed permanently.

Jim,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posting. I did not realize you could not discuss specific sites / situations here (I should have read the forum rules). I will either assume from your posting that my site has been temporarily removed from its category or that it is no longer suitable / listable for your directory. Since it is a small local community site it is probably not as relevant as some of the larger sites listed.

Anyway, I appreciate your advice.
