Submitted to http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/

I just had a chat with an editor who feels I'm in the correct category, but am concerned perhaps I submitted to the wrong category. I do plan to add CDROM production very soon...so if it's not in the correct category by 1 issue or so, perhaps it will be by the time the editor gets around to reviewing it. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thank you in advance...keep up the good work, folks.

I would say that you submitted to the correct category. I did have to look through your site to find that you do offer services that would allow placement in this category and found these under your recommended hosting services. If you can implement all/most of the services offered by the recommended hosting service you belong in /Full_Service <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

Your site is in the queue of 200 + other of which quite a few are duplicates etc. I will clear out the duplicates today once editing picks back up to speed <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
It may be quite a while before your site is listed so I would suggest submitting to your Regional location.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I am trying to submit to my region now- dmoz is very slow to repond. To many spammers submitting thier nasty sites. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />

Today is backup day, so the system grinds to a halt. Spent the last half-hour selecting duplicates etc. in unreviewed to delete only to be greeted by a white screen <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" alt="" />

{edited: There are now approximately 30 less sites in the unreviewed queue....)

Yep, that 20% pay rise we had from the ODP just before Christmas has come in really handy. Remind me again - what's 20% of nothing? <img src="/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

Richard,

Can you possibly give me an update for my site? It's been 2 months since I posted the original request.

I know you guys are over worked and appreciate the efforts.

Regards,

Still in the queue with a few hundred others. It could be a while. <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Ok- just about 2 months have passed since last request.

Will it still be a "while"? Can you tell me when I originally submitted my site?

Any way to narrow down "a while" if that's the answer again? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

We talkin' 2 more months...6 months? Over 6mos longer?

TIA

Your site is listed in http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/New_York/Localities/F/Freeport and is still in the list awaiting review at http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Web_Design_and_Development/Designers/Full_Service/E/ along with 250 others.

An no, I'm afraid we can't give you any idea how long it will take for this site to get reviewed. As you can probably imagine these categories are exceedingly busy, and the editors are volunteers, and we don't have a timetable for reviewing.

Oh, well. I understand. Still frustrating though.

If it shows when I originally submitted can you tell me. Just curious.

Thanks for the feedback.

You've been waiting almost exactly 5 months (your site shows a submission date of November 29, 2002). I wish we had more qualified volunteers to edit so that the waits would go down, but at least you have been listed once during that time. Please be patient, and your other submission will eventually be reviewed.

OK. 9 months now. Mirror mirror on the wall how to get into DMOZ at all? :)

Status check please. Thanks!
