Thanks to jeanmanco things are really getting done around here! (What is that you're drinking there, or should I ask.... whatever, give some to the others).

Unfortunately, there's more... here are some others that need to be "taken care of" shall I say?

Here goes: (urls only this time)

http://www.historicpages.com/ does not report itself for sale and still seems to be in business, so I've left that for the moment.

In the cat http://www.dmoz.org/World/Rom%c3%a2n%c4%83/Cump%c4%83r%c4%83turi/Frumuse%c5%a3e_%c5%9fi_s%c4%83n%c4%83tate/

I found this:

1. Cyber Market (http://www.cybermarket.ro) described as selling perfumes and cosmetics now is transformed in http://www.dotcommerce.ro/

2. Delmira Cosmetics (http://www.delmira.ro) now is suspended.

3. http://www.directweb.ro is now under construction and is described as selling Amway products (MLM)

4. http://ki-life.ro is suspended

5. http://www.plantavorel.ro is suspended

6. http://www.geocities.com/cum_tratam_matreata/ is actualy a site affiliated with http://elastar.virtualave.net/ who is listed in the same cat. Unfortunatly is in romanian so, i believe, a romanian editor is needed here.

In the cat http://www.dmoz.org/World/Rom%c3%a2n%c4%83/Cump%c4%83r%c4%83turi/Directoare/ I found http://www.euroguide.ro/ who is under construction

jeanmanco · September 23, 2004

#738 Thanks for all your efforts.

1-4 done. 4 - Very probably the multilogic domain was bought by rollexpert.

7-10 done.

11 That is not a problem unless both are listed. acvaria.123start.ro does not seem to be listed.

12-22 done.

23 - The ODP does not list illegal sites, but I am not sure whether the site itself would be classified as illegal for our purposes. It is a question for staff.

24 done.
