I submitted my site to the following ODP category just over a month ago:
http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Gambling/Slots/

I was just hoping you could let me know the stutus of this submission.

Thanks

It's been listed since July 6th. You won't see it listed until the public pages are updated but there's nothing we can do about it except to wait.

[removing this part of my post, arkoid was faster ]

BTW, I just tried to access your site and got a DNS error. Maybe it's just me, but if not you should fix this asap, otherwise we'll have to remove the listing. Thanks.

Something is weired today, I have problems accessing lots of sites, including this one. So better not trust "not accessible" messages today...

It might be a propagation issue then. I tried with a different ISP and got a DNS error too.

Thanks. The site may have been down. Received the following message from my host:

"Our main production server that houses most of your accounts has been offline for close to 24 hours. This is due to a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack that was launched against our server."

Apparently the problem has been fixed and the site is back up now. This is the first outage I've experienced with this host (and hopefully the last!)

thanks again

Looks like my site has been removed. Just wondering why as there have been no significant changes made (other than content updates) since it was first added.

thanks

This is a pretty specialized area, so I'm going to send some mail asking someone who knows something to answer your question.

If you haven't seen an answer in a few days, please feel free to bump this thread.

The (semi)short answer is ODP has a lot of editors and they don't all think the same. One editor added it and another deleted it.

Davehawley, don't you have somewhere else to troll?

Thanks guys.

Now my question is, should I submit again or is there no way that I can get back into the directory, notwithstanding the fact that there are editors who believe my site to be appropriate for this category??

cheers

[Edit: had a look myself]

After looking at the site: No, I think there is no way to get that site into the ODP.
