Discontinuation

[Gutter Cleaning]

Cant believe it has closed. Shocking. It was one of truest directories on the internet.

Just read about it yesterday. So sad! I miss all the work and fun in dmoz from all the reorganization we did especially in Regional.

Discussions about a successor is ongoing at curlie.org! ☺

Really it is shocking news. May I know the reason of closure please ?

[informator]

You have to ask AOL for the reason (I doubt they will tell you though).

I am saddened at the lost of DMOZ. In trying to answer the question, Why?, I found an article on zvelo dot com, but resource-zone balked at publishing my first effort to post the link here.

@wells50 - We deactivated the link posting due to spam issues. The zvelo article is about the reasons they had identified for our "Dmize" - Kind of sad, but thanks for posting

@Naeem Khan - Yes, closed. We are working at relaunching a new directory, and will post in these forums when we have something working!

We are looking forward to a solid replacement/upgrade for the directory. Hope that it doesn't take long to launch the new one.
