Hello.
I submitted a vintage British coin-operated games website <url removed> to the Recreation/Collecting/Slot Machines DMOZ category about six weeks ago.
This seems to be the ideal category.
The site makes extensive use of Flash for the navigation and "fun" elements such as virtual machines. Realizing after submission that this could be a problem with DMOZ (not to mention search engines and non Flash visitors), I redesigned the site to be fully non Flash compliant.
Although I imagine this could be one of many reasons why the site was not been listed at DMOZ, when I looked again at the category, I noticed that of the 10 sites listed, one is a shipping service and another is a broken link to a defunct site.
Perhaps the category editor is otherwise engaged or does not exist.
There are several other important sites about antique slot machines, including a major American database and an excellent information packed British site (with no Flash gadgets) which opened in 1999. I would expect to find these in any serious directory that covered the category.
With these thoughts in mind, I clicked on the "volunteer to edit this category" link and carefully completed an application.
Having received a standard rejection e-mail this morning I wonder if you can offer suggestions of anything else I can do (apart from slinking away with my tail between my legs).
