Guest Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Hi, I'm just curious about the status of my submission (http://ai-depot.com/) to the Artificial Intelligence category (http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/). It seems the entire category hasn't been touched for 6/7 months -- as other sites have died (ai.about.com) and have not been removed. Thanks!
donaldb Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 Your site is still in the queue. The most recent edits to that category were actually on Saturday, July 20, 2002 as you can see at the bottom of the category page. Sites that have died or moved are not always discovered and fixed as quickly as sites are added as we tend to concentrate on adding sites first before we go back and check through the category for dead links. We also have an automated bot that runs every couple of months that notifies us of dead URLs and at that point they get flagged for investigation by editors. Many of us wait until we see the red flags.
totalxsive Posted August 3, 2002 Posted August 3, 2002 If you're interested, the bot that donaldb is referring to apparently making its initial moves, so any sites which don't work will be flagged up.
Meta jazz Posted August 3, 2002 Meta Posted August 3, 2002 In the meantime, have removed the about.com site.
