Re: Status of http://www.asmarteru.com/
So what's the deal? It's been almost 9 months and I'm still waiting.
The "deal" is that it is taking that long to get sites reviewed in that part of the directory.
Do I need to bring this up to somebody?
No, you don't "need" to. Your site will not get listed any quicker by sending messages to people. As you may have read if you've looked elesewhere on this forum, all editors are unpaid volunteers, and sites are reviewed in whatever order an editor wishes to review them.
Should I request a different cat?
This will not expedite the site getting listed. If the site was submitted to the best-fitting category for it, then that is the way to get the listing approved in the shortest time.
I know things take time ... but it shouldn't take more time to get listed in here then it does to create life! Just my 2 cents.
Your opinion is noted. In the ideal world we would have enough editors that we could deal with all unreviewed sites and have the time to add whatever sites we find to the directory. In the real world we don't, so yes, it takes a long while to get sites reviewed in some areas of the directory.
And in the interests of effective communication, your post comes across as rather inflammatory. While I can understand that you are frustrated at not getting your site listed, there are many others in the same boat, and many editors feeling like they are trying to scale Mount Everest. We are all doing the best job we can.
