    What category are you submitting too, and just how many of those 5 times has been in 2007?

    It is probably still sat in a queue, but it would help us if you did post the category you applied to. Please also note design of a site is not our concern it is what value it would add to the category and that it should contain unique content and content we want to use.

    Top: Home: Consumer Information: Computers and Internet: Internet: Web Hosting: Reviews]

    That one?

    As I'm not really seeing a cat for "web hosting reviews"

    If it's not the one I gave, can you give an actual URL or clickable link?

    Hosting directories is a well subscribed category and if you are in a Q there it may be a while. It is unlikely that you will get listed in both categories. If youi have not submitted in 2007 then offer again. All submissions were lost during the crash we had in winter 2006.

    If you really want one, you can always buy one from DMOZ "senior" editors. You can get a listing very fast. :)


    Buy DMOZ links from ODP editors.

    Which makes it weird that Gworld has no sites in the directory. There's another guy here named Ivan who will tell you that bribes are the only way too... he has one site in about 9 times, and he's never paid a dime.

    Odd that they know bribery works so well, yet one gets his in free and the other apparently can't bribe his way in.

    Guess that falls under the do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do rule.:)

    I notice you accidentally skipped replying to my last post where I said if you are who I think you haven't spoken in the adult forum in the last week. What's wrong fella, am I getting too close?:)

    Naah, You don't have any sites in the directory. You troll about it a lot, you boast a ton, but you don't have any in.

    I can't ban anyone. Outing 'em on the other hand, is kinda fun. Have uncovered a few that thought they were well hidden.;)

    I know but you can always report some one and it doesn't take that much for the psychos to ban the person, especially if they think it is me. :D

    Finding the putzes with multiple logins isn't spying, more like counter-terrorism. I don't need incentive. Remember, I'm one of those evil senior editors ya keep talkin about. ;)

    Keep fooling yourself. :D

    May be you should ask Annie about her experience from the time that she thought she knows my identity and look what happened to her despite her loyalty.

    And yet you didnt post in the Adult forum this week? Odd given the sites you own. How come you can't get 'em in? Are you there for the good of the web community? Thought you didn't believe we had editors like that. Nice to have you disprove your own theory. :)
