    I really like the template this directory is using:

    http://www.dirbuzz.com/

    May I ask who was the designer Or how I can get something similar?

    There is one more that nobody has seen yet(it's not mine). I'll be working on it some more over the weekend, and maybe it'll come up within the next few weeks.

    Yes, it's me! I'm back!!!

    Let's hope 09 will be as good as 08 if not better.

    Directory industry is heading into the right direction I'd say...I remember 06-07 everyone was building 5-10 directories screaming on the forums about their PR, backlinks and money....

    2008 was an important year in this niche...time will prove it...

    BTW...DirBuzz...top design...who's the owner?

    Let's welcome back the lost sons of these forums :p

    Well said. The entire purpose of directories is to inform, not to sell links. Lets hope more people take the hints.

    Hive is the designer, he did the directory island that Amit mentioned also.

    I hope you were being sarcastic about the second line.

    Erm....ok....right...

    Good to see you got it sorted. Hope I helped :)

    Yeah that's been around for a year or so now. Hive designed it.

    Zeb owns DirBuzz, he's the designer. Good to see you here too Dan!

    I'm lost now. You didn't know whats happened in 2008 so I made a big post telling you. You replied with the post quoted below. You later then say that you don't know what happened in 2008. Perhaps you need to re-read the thread and think about it more. You made two conflicting posts.

    Glad we got that sorted...

    The potential is there for the design to be very nice, but it's a little basic. Sidebar is very wide yet has little inside it. Don't like the centered text there.

    Don't like the stuff above the header. It needs improving.

    The fonts and colors used are good though, as is the nice artwork/graphic used. Who is the designer?

    You probably don't know about any *new* plug-ins, because I don't bother announcing anything public anymore. phpld never had anything innovative from the owner anyway. It was always ripped off and/or stolen ideas.

    So, no more public announcements == no more rip-offs.

    Besides, when people use knock-offs and then have to come to me to get it done right, it makes for twice the work for me to fix the trash out there, and then get my stuff in.

    Sorry, but the truth just had to be said.

    If you only knew what I've done to one of the directories out there, you would seriously envy it. I'm not going to say which DP'r owns the site, but only a few DP'ers even know about it.

    2009 is going to be MY year. :)
