Hello..
I submitted my web site www.shwing.com in September of last year and resubmitted a couple weeks ago because I had not heard anything.
I submitted to: http://dmoz.org/Arts/Directories/

Would someone be so kind as to tell me what the status is?

Best Regards...

The September submission was deleted because the site was unreachable at the time (an all-too-common reason for rejection; I tend to leave them for a few days if they don't work, and then check again).

The January submission is queued though. Sadly there are over 200 other submissions waiting there, but some are spam so I'll see to those today.

The site was down for a three days because I was moving to a new dedicated server.

I shall continue to wait patiently.
Thank you for your time.

Best Regards...

Well, after removing the layers of spam, duplicates and misguided submissions in that category (Florida Sea Bass Guide, anyone?), the queue is down to just 130 sites. I'll see if I can improve on that.

Heh, heh, Keep an open mind... Florida Sea Bass Guide could very well be postmodern art. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for working on this. I wish I could help...

"I wish I could help." Well, perhaps you'd like to apply for a nice small category to begin with? Arts: Directories would be a little bit large for a beginner, but what about a category about your favourite artist or your home town? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmm... I do teach digital art to artists at a local college here in LA. I could help out with Digital Resources if that category needs an editor. I could also do Art Galleries because I visit quite a few of those.
You could let me know where you need help in the Arts section.

Best Regards...

Actually, if there was a category specifically for Art in Los Angeles, I would love to tackle that.
It's a very interesting scene happening here.

How about LA Artists and Galleries ? It's a good size for a new editor.

I would love to. I know most of those galleries and there are tons more.
Should I apply now? And BTW, are editors allowed to add sites that have not been submited?

Editors are *encouraged* to add sites that haven't been submitted.

Any hope that a poor indie site will ever get listed?

It's still not a month since you initially asked about the submission status of this site (tsk tsk tsk) but I'll answer anyway. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" alt="" />

You're still in the queue of that category along with over 100 other sites. There is hope (there's always hope) but it's likely going to be awhile before the queue gets cleared out in that category. You can come back in a month (i.e. sometime after March 7) and ask about the status again here in this thread.
