Guest jpsowin Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 I am not sure if my submission went through or not. I have gotten errors in the past and i just need to know if i should keep trying. It was a while ago however and im not sure of the exact category. The site is http://www.westforthsports.com It was most likely submitted in one of these three categories. http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/ http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/Fishing/ http://www.dmoz.com/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/Hunting/
Guest acropelius Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 All I can tell you at this time is that is "isn't" in Outdoors/Fishing/!! The other two categories have almost 600 and almost 900 others waiting to be reviewed. May I suggest waiting at least another 2-3 months before asking again. Disclaimer: Another editor that isn't on a dial up connection may look at the unreviewed and give a better status report. It takes quite a while to load that many sites.
lachenm Posted June 6, 2003 Posted June 6, 2003 OK, cranked up the DSL... <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> Actually, the problem is the ODP servers -- they're much slower than my connection. Your submission of 14 Mar 2003 was waiting in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors/Hunting . However, you also have another submission, this one of 21 May 2003, which is waiting in http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors with hundreds of others. Since you offer more than hunting equipment, your site was probably not appropriate for the Hunting category. And since you also appear to have a brick and mortar store, you could be eligible for an additional listing in the Regional branch, so I moved the Hunting submission to http://dmoz.org/Regional/North_America/United_States/Indiana/Localities/G/Gary/Business_and_Economy/ where it is awaiting review in a very small pool (adding addtional information about your brick and mortar location might help guarantee a listing in that category, as I had to hunt for it). Given the huge backlog, I'd wait several months before asking again about the Shopping/Recreation/Outdoors category, too. I suspect that the Regional category might be somewhat faster.
