My site won't be listed on DMOZ, tried it some times in the past but it is not accepted. I do strive for quality but for some reason it is not accepted.
I have submitted alot of sites with dmoz with 0% success, some of the sites were very high quality but still not listed in dmoz.
And many other people have submitted lots of sites and even others, have submitted the same site lots of times. This just confirms there are a huge amount of of sites that may possibly be reviewed and as such, you need to move on and do other things to promote your site. Your site may or may not be reviewed at some stage in the future. Cheers.
Kinda makes ya wonder why people even still bother don't it? I mean, come on... may or may not be reviewed? So much for editors saying it's a hobby, privilege, and fun, if they are NOT wanting to do it. I guess so much for calling them volunteers as well. However, on your point: "This just confirms there are a huge amount of of sites that may possibly be reviewed " it could also confirm that there is a huge amount of sites rejected. Or possibly a huge amount of sites lost in a crash, or it could even confirm that there are a huge amount of sites that people claimed to of submitted. Honestly, it does not confirm anything, as the ODP confirms NOTHING ... just ask them, lol.
