Status of casinosuppliesonline.com

Hi - Could you help me with the status of http://casinosuppliesonline.com submitted in July, 2004 at http://dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Equipment/Dealers/

Thanks,

Justin

Bump. Anyone?

It awaits review in your suggested category. I'm not entirely sure this category is the best fit for your site, but the resident editors will figure it out.

Better category?

It seems to be where all the like sites are located. The location had had 17 entries since June. I know Sooty broke his arm somewhere in there... in there typicaly only 1 person that would/could look at it?

Thanks,

Justin

There are many people who could look at it (the vast majority of all listings are made by people who are not "listed as editors for that category"); but there are also many other places where they could be looking.

There's just no telling.

A little help from the editors

First of all, Thanks for all you do! It does not appear that this category has had any attention for months. Is it purely randow what editors look at, or is there a listing of areas needing attention that might ultimately get this looked at?

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

I've used this analogy before, but
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20041107180408325
describes a book that presents the approach more rigorously.

From the outside, it will almost surely look random. (Really narcissistic people tend to interpret that random neglect of themselves as a malicious action. Sane people can usually somehow work their way through to a better understanding -- neglect is not an action, and the fact is that every editor neglects millions of sites every day, so no single site can possibly be singled out.)

On the inside, we probably have fewer bees that do the pollen dance than your average hive, but the effects of foraging parties formed around persuasive pollen dancers is not totally negligable.

Waggle Dance

Hutcheson - Thanks for the reply. Surowiecki's The Wisdom of Crowds sounds very interesting. Based on your analogy, I will assume that other areas are commanding greater attention right now than the Gambling directory and waggle dance's are attracting editor review in those areas. I will continue to wait patiently (ok semi-patiently) to be indexed myself. I am confident that CasinoSuppliesOnline.com will ultimately be indexed on DMOZ and will rely on people finding me through other means for now.

Thanks again,

Justin

I think you're taking the prudent course based on the information available. The ODP is not (and cannot be) a substitute for a PLANNED promotion plan for a commercial site.

No, we can not.

As by the forum guidelines you are allowed to ask for a new status 6 months or more after your previous request. This will be May 7th, 2005.

Request here will never influence the approval proces.

Sure, bump this thread six months after the last status check (that would be May 8, 2005)
