I mean the speed of the process doesn't help at at all in offering high-quality websites. It means that all the new resources appeared in the last year are not showed to the public.
No disrespect, but did you ever stop to think that if you had submitted to the correct category it might have been reviewed the first time an editor looked at it, almost exactly one year ago?
And the duplicate submission we found six months ago that you made might have taken enough editor time that the editor ran out of time to get to your site the last time they were working in that category.
You are also mistaken in thinking that the review process is somehow linear. Many new sites, some created within the last month are in our directory. You have the misfortune of submitting to an industry category where your colleagues believe that bulk submissions, mirrors, redirects and other forms of directory abuse are perfectly acceptable, so the legitimate site owners suffer.
Changes inour processes notwithstanding, we are unable to do anything to correct human nature and the desire to trample all others in an effort to get to the head of the line at all costs -- which is why we have a million plus sites awaiting review.
Your site still awaits review, which is the imformation you came for.
As a point of reference (for whatever it is worth -- if anything at all) site reviews can happen very quickly, or can take more than two years in spammy categories such as Computers.
