Editall Callimachus Posted November 3, 2007 Editall Posted November 3, 2007 I have never had a listing in the ODP or been refused ' date=' or had any dealings with the ODP until now ...[/quote'] I have had my sites refused a few times by the ODP ' date=' i have now given up trying to enter a site into this directory as i can't see any logic as to what gets in and what doesn't get in , ...[/quote'] Well which is it is? You have never had a listing, or been refused, or dealt with ODP before, or you have and have been refused? And if you were refused how did you know you were refused (as it isn't feedback that is normally given)? a corrupt biest resource like this ' date=' if they listen to my reasons or not is beside the point , its more about my own feelings , morals and principles.[/quote'] Since only one of the previous two quotes above can be true, it rather makes your assumed "moral high ground" about the consistency of quicksand.

Meta nea Posted November 3, 2007 Meta Posted November 3, 2007 (Please note that while the directory is funded by AOL, and the few people who are paid to maintain the technical side are paid by AOL, most of us regular editors don't have any particular relationship with that company at all. None of us, again excepting the handful who are employed by them, have any mandate to represent AOL in any capacity.) Curlie Meta and kMeta editor nea
Wref Posted November 3, 2007 Author Posted November 3, 2007 Your quoting posts from nine months ago , i think its safe to say that after nine months that my submissions were and have been rejected , i have checked many times and my submissions have never been added , or is this directory really that slow ? assumed "moral high ground" about the consistency of quicksand ? , lmao , go edit your directory instead of just trying to sound clever in your forum , show me that your clever by clearing your growing backlog of directory submissions. Yeh thats even nicer to know , volunteers that don't represent AOL losing customers of AOL on AOL funded hardware , one bit of advice , don't bite the hand that feeds you , rofl.

Yeh thats even nicer to know , volunteers that don't represent AOL losing customers of AOL on AOL funded hardware , one bit of advice , don't bite the hand that feeds you , rofl.Um, AOL doesn't feed me. I don't work for them, I volunteer to help their directory. If your leaving AOL as a customer causes AOL to implement a "Get AOL as your ISP and we'll make sure your site gets listed in x weeks.", then I'm sure they'll let us know. Until then, though, we do what we can.
