machinetoolz Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 www.tombstonecity.com site was submitted 4 weeks ago - have heard nothing it was submitted in this catagory
yapuka Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Hello, This site is awaiting review in the category you mention. You do not need to suggest it again. Thanks.
machinetoolz Posted July 24, 2004 Author Posted July 24, 2004 submitted site it has now been a good 4 months, what is happening with the submission??
Meta hutcheson Posted July 24, 2004 Meta Posted July 24, 2004 Nothing so far: still waiting for editor review. You can bump this thread and get another status in six months, if you don't see it listed by then.
machinetoolz Posted October 18, 2004 Author Posted October 18, 2004 status request It has now been 7+ months since site was submitted, any word?
bobrat Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 07-24-2004, 02:44 PM [You can bump this thread and get another status in six months] means six months from July 24.
machinetoolz Posted December 31, 2004 Author Posted December 31, 2004 http://www.tombstonecity.com http://www.tombstonecity.com site was submitted 10 months ago - have heard nothing is the DMOZ for real? or is this a joke?
jimnoble Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 means six months from July 24Which would be 24th January.
Meta hutcheson Posted January 1, 2005 Meta Posted January 1, 2005 You don't need to keep repeating that you have heard nothing. We know that: that's what everybody always hears, because that's how we always respond to suggestions. (Suggestions are for us to act on or not, but not requests for communication -- which we wouldn't do.) But please do invest in a calendar and use it.
machinetoolz Posted January 22, 2005 Author Posted January 22, 2005 explain please hutcheson : could please explain what you said, it makes as much sense as the DMOZ does.
machinetoolz Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 an update please www.tombstonecity.com i have waited my 6 months as requested site was submitted 9+ months ago - have heard nothing it was submitted in this catagory
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted January 30, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted January 30, 2005 I see no change in status in your suggestion. You may ask again in another 6 months (technically, that means 6 months from "now", rather than 6 months from your last question, but I think I was fairly fast this time.)
machinetoolz Posted January 30, 2005 Author Posted January 30, 2005 Just some insight please No new sites have been submitted to this category since I submitted mine, 9 months ago. Is there a big backlog in this category? Is anyone really looking at these the submitted sites? From all the complaints on the board it would seem that things get done in a haphazard way. Is there any sequence to getting a site looked at? Is it 1st in 1st out or do the editors just pick from a hat? Maybe the whole DMOZ concept needs to be looked at. It appears to be broken. I am not looking for a fight here, just some insight as to what goes on. Try looking at this from the side of a person trying to get a site submitted. http://dmoz.org/Business/Industrial_Goods_and_Services/Machinery_and_Tools/Cutting_and_Machining/Tooling,_Tools,_Consumables/Accessories/Tooling_and_Workholding/
bobrat Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Since this same question gets asked several times a day, I would suggest you look around for other posts for the asnwers we give out. E.g. http://resource-zone.com/forum/showthread.php?p=154384#post154384 http://resource-zone.com/forum/showthread.php?p=154368#post154368 We move randomly and unpredicatbly around like a swarm of bees - but in the end make a lot of honey. So we must be organized.
Editall/Catmv arubin Posted January 30, 2005 Editall/Catmv Posted January 30, 2005 Look at the bottom of the page:Last update: 8:17 PT, Sunday, December 19, 2004 Not that it means much, but it's more recent than your submission. Our FAQs cover the editor working process -- basically, any editor who can edit there (in addition to listed editors in categories above that one, there are over 100 editalls and above who can edit anywhere in the directory), may edit there as much or as little as they choose. Proper use of the wayback machine ( http://www.archive.org ?) will show that a site was added to the category in July.
oneeye Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 DMOZ is only broke if you think it is a commercial listing service. Since it isn't in any way shape or form a listing service, commercial or otherwise, the comment is invalid. Other organisations such as Yahoo have a different concept more along the lines you appear to want. There is a place for both, there is no point in us trying to do what they do, it is a totally different setup and mission, theirs being to make a profit. Pay them a visit, give them some cash, and they will give you a customer rep with a job description and a salary, and they will review your site within a specified period and list it if it meets their criteria. That is what they are paid to do. DMOZ editors on the other hand do not exist to review sites suggested by webmasters, we merely accept the suggestions as one possible source of material for our project. Thanks, we'll get around to it at our own pace.
