DMOZ Dead?

I haven't been able to submit new sites to that thing for weeks. There is a post in their forums from Dec 18 about server problems, no update since then. Does anyone have current information on them? Its almost like they said "Aww, fuck it." and left the servers on.

I don't see the appeal in DMOZ. I haven't been to their directory to look for a site in years. Their "elite"-ness has pretty much disappeared

Plenty of sites still use the database and it is an easy way to get your URL out there for Google to eat up.

Dmoz suffered a major crash a few months ago and no editors have been able to edit up until about a week ago, but all domains submitted were removed from the queue and an old backup was brought back. Anyone who had submitted domains from october to december should try again :P

Would you care to share that info? Talking about dirs it seems that there are very little that accept adult and dont require a linkback, almost none.

DMOZ died a long time ago.

However, the current death throws are funny to watch. Apparently there was a "server error" that just happened to lose all of the pending submissions, all of the editing history, and even much of the banned or rejected site list.

At this point, editors can edit again (existing sites) but there is no mechanism in place to submit new sites or add new sites, so effectively editing has come to a standstill.

A great idea, corrupted by too many people with their own agendas.

By the time they delete, they've usually been deleted from the directory though. Or least the ones I bought have.

The server crash actually allowed me to get the editing up-to-date!

Why would you want to submit to DMOZ? It's a great directory to have a link on for free & the SEs like it.
