Howdy!

I would like to check the status of:
http://www.solomonoutfitters.com

I submitted it to: http://www.dmoz.org/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/Clothing/

I know it's only been a month, but I have a long story for you!
When I first opened my store last year, I submitted my site and it was accepted pretty quickly. Then, DMOZ seemed to be down for about a week. When it came back up, my site was gone. I resubmitted my site but it never showed up. I resubmitted my site last month because I just figured I did something wrong, as I am prone to do...
I know you guys have a lot on your plate; but I'm just getting antsy. I'd like to be an editor, but I tend to make a website about anything I'm remotely interested in. Is it always a disqualification if you own a site in a category you have a site affiliation with?
OK, thanks for providing a forum for us impatient types. It's much appreciated!

Sincerely,
Lynn Solomon

Hello,

This site has been suggested to several categories within Shopping/Recreation. Editors have been doing some Spring cleaning in this area and haev removed duplicate suggestions, including yours to Outdoors/Clothing .

But they left one for review (we always do). Problem is, I do not know where it is.

You'll have to be patient. The site will be reviewed at some point.

No need to suggest it again.

Thanks

Click to expand...

I'm not clear on this sentence. Is there something I can do to help?

Thanks for the quick response earlier.

if you could tell us which other categories you have submitted the site to, it would help us, for sure. Right now, the prospect of going through every one, seaching for the site, is a very tedious one.

It is not waiting for review in either of those categories.

Should I re-submit? I know, for sure, that I submitted to Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/Clothing

I don't know what to do...

Hello,

You guys are really fast to respond, so I'm wondering if my last reply slipped through the cracks?

Thanks,
Lynn

No, our automated link checker recently ran and many of the editors who split their time between the forum and the directory are focusing additional attention to the directory.

OK. If someone could please just verify that my site is actually waiting for review somewhere; I'll come back in a couple months.
From what I gather from "nea" my site is not waiting anywhere to be reviewed. I hate to go away for a couple of months only to discover that my site isn't waiting to be reviewed.

Thanks,
Lynn

Well, accoding to nea (who is very good at this stuff) your site is not waiting in any of the categories you gave us, and we have no tool that will let us serach all of hte million plus sites waiting in various pools.

Go ahead and resubmit one more time to the single best category. You may reference this thread in the description and no one will hold the additional submission against you.

Howdy,
I originally submitted my site about 17 months ago. My site was accepted and listed - DMOZ crashed soon thereafter and my site hasn't been added since. I thought the story bore retelling.
I'm just checking to see if everything is OK.

Thanks,
Lynn

The log shows no sign that your site was ever listed. Are you sure it was listed in the DMOZ directory?

Could someone please tell me what to do? Would you be frustrated if you were in my shoes? This is happening over and over again.
I post my site, it gets accepted. DMOZ crashes (once) and my site never reappears.
Several times I resubmit. My listing gets lost in DMOZ. I'm told to relist. I check back in a couple months. My listing is gone again.
I know you guys have a lot on your plate. But 17 months? What should I think about this?
I know I'll probably never see my site in DMOZ now that I have voiced my concerns. But I think a Budist monk would be impatient by now.
