Hello DMOZ.Org Representative,
Firstly thank you for taking the time out of life to volunteer to help out the truly dedicated online communities. My staff and I also volunteer our time to the All Experts Forum Community in the Animal/Pets/Pet Fish Section and many others, so I know first hand how much work you must do. I can only imagine the questions load you must receive on a daily basis.
My question is the this: Our Orange County Reef Aquatics (retail pet related website) is an Ecommerce site, however we also collect donations for worldwide reef conservation and we also offer aqua-cultured corals, this puts less demand on wild caught corals around the world. We've noticed, that these are attributes that other websites do not offer, that would fall in the same DMOZ category as our website. Should we still submit to the same category as these others? An example of another website that falls in the same category as us, that is already listed in DMOZ, but that doesn't collect reef conservation donations would be the website relating to the name MarineandReef.
In conclusion I believe we would submit our site to a category something along the lines of the following below:
Shopping: Pets: Fish: Supplies: Hardware: Live Goods: Aquariums: Conservation
or would it simply be:
Shopping: Pets: Fish: Supplies
Thank you for your time, any help you can give on our above forum posting would be greatly appreciated.
With Kind Regards,
OCReef - Staff&Owner
