Anime-Links - http://www.anime-links.com/ -Only the banner and some links (which are not working BTW) are loaded, the site is probably broken now.

#4101 - The site is no longer adding new content, however it is being maintained to provide access to its archive of past information and so is still a useful resource.

[Artisands]

#4101- is done. Thanks

 

@Callimachus - number sequence changed due to a moderated post approval. Your post re: #4101 is now referencing #4102.

[Callimachus]

AH ok. Thanks for the heads up. As the time threshold to edit a message has expired ...

 

#4102 - see #4103

The following DMOZ page:

http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/search?search=space+stamps

 

contains an old URL of mine:

http://spacestamps.amhosting.com/

 

I've since bought a domain and moved the content there. It's been included in DMOZ, but the old URL above has become a landing page for my former hosting company.

 

Probably should be removed. TIA.

Need to have URL changed

 

The following categories have a dead link:

 

Top: Home: Homemaking: Christian

Top: Home: Family: Parenting: Mothers: Personal Pages

 

The dead link in both categories is:

The Common Sense Mom (http://mysite.verizon.net/resptioj/)

 

I have twice sent in an update to dmoz with the new URL, but it never got done. The new URL is:

 

http://home.comcast.net/~commonsensemom/blog/

 

How can I get these links changed? Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks!

http://www.geocities.com/navalvithalani/ (Naval Vithalani) bears no relation to the site description or category.

 

http://kshemendra.bravepages.com/ (Dr. Mikhail Mikhailov: Belarusian Vedic Center) generates numerous pop-ups (some with adult content) and a maze of ads, and the links point either to non-existent pages on the same domain or to variations of http://itved.com, all similarly loaded with pop-ups, redirects, more non-existent links, and no relevant content that I could find.

 

And one site (also listed in four other categories) has two listings with the same title in this one category: http://www.geocities.com/lamberdar/ (Subhash Sharma) and http://www.geocities.com/lamberdar/ramayana.html (Subhash C. Sharma).

Listing URL: http://www.pultruder.com

 

Listing title: Glas Forms Inc.

 

Notes: Redirects to correct URL: http://www.glasforms.com

It appears correct company name is Glasforms Inc. (one word).

URL Is Infecting Visitors With A Trojan Horse

 

This site that your endorsing is upon visiting injecting a trojan horse into visitors browsers/computers.

 

Category: http://dmoz.org/Games/Video_Games/Multiplayer/Clans_and_Guilds/

 

Listing URL: http://www.wolfstuff.org

 

Sure my anti virus quicky identified the trojan and quarantined it, but many other visitors might not be quite so lucky.

 

After a little more probing i found this web site report from Norton (Symantec).

I checked today dmoz and I wanted to drop a note to editor <removed editor name>

 

I try today to send a note via the contact form from dmoz but isnt work saying '' The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. '' I`ll copy / paste there the message hopping i`l not breack some rules of the forums , Its first time when I can join on this forum and I`m not yet fammiliar with it ( i`ll look later at the rules and so on .. )

========== the message : =======

hello <removed editor name> , I was browsing today on dmoz ( actually I checked if my small article directory was listed and so on , probably you know how maniacs are some of webmasters when they submit sites to dmoz however ... I`m need some help , I saw your category was updated recently , so I decided to drop a short email with two questions if you can be so kind to answer back ..

 

qestion 1 : I think I submited my site (Removed URL ) under your category on January 12'th or 13'th , I read on the forums of dmoz on this days was some troubles and glitches on dmoz and I`m worry if I have to submit my site again or better just to sit down and wait ... please understand i`m not writing for begging to be listed on dmoz ( will be nice of course for me to have a link there for my site but is not my intention to bother you with this email )

 

question 2 : which is more like a drop note ( actually I dont know if I can do this .. ) but when I browse to the category /Business/Publishing_and_Printing/Publishing/Services/Free_Content/ I found this site zapcontent.com listed there , its a parked domain on godaddy ... ( I just wanted to let you know about it - lol suppose you have loads of things to do day by day and I`m sure you cant check always all sites around .. )

 

Thanks for reading my email , and if you have time please drop me an email letting me to know if I need to submit again my site due to the errors from January ..

 

ps . later edit : I just found on forums this is a known issue with message sistem and actually the editor receive the email even if i`m get the error . I`m sorry for this post if mods wanna delete it please feel free or let me to know if I need to edit .

 

later edit2 : another site under same category whos seems to be dropped articlejunction.com too

[Artisands]
