    Simple as that, gworld, it is one thing arguing with you. A total different issue would be if I would let me nail down giving you an answer to a question, where no matter what my answer might be, it would only help to feed your preconception of the whole issue.

    I don't know but the fear that is shown by some of the DMOZ editors in the discussions, makes you wonder. ;) :D

    Since you don't want to answer how old the discussion is, I can rephrase the question:

    Will it be correct to say that discussion started in the last millennium? ;)

    but as sidjf mentioned: "they will discuss it until the discussion is done apparently.", so we shouldn't be in a hurry. :rolleyes:

    You know and I know that discussions about Adult and problems within Adult, is as old as DMOZ itself.
    I think it is the nature of Adult, unless DMOZ decides to get rid of it in total. The discussions you are aiming at, did not start in the last millenium, sorry.

    I don't know how you classify last millennium but I classify anything before year 2000 as last millennium. ;)

    Never had problems when looking on a calendar and I am not suffering from Altzheimer, yet. For getting over the weekend, you are invited, we could have some beer together and talk things over.;)

    It's still good for PR purposes but good luck getting listed. As for applying for editorships, good luck on that as well.

    I didn't imply that you can't understand a calendar but may be you are not aware of the whole story. ;)

    Thank you for the offering the beer but I don't think your fellow editors will be very happy with you if you are seen with me. We don't want the DMOZ hit squad coming after you, do we? ;)

    They don't need to get rid of Adult section, they just need to get rid of "deep links" in image galleries and "adult business" and all the adult editors will disappear and so does adult section. ;)

    Those image galleries are so important that a Meta openly tells the editors they should ignore American laws, in order to keep those precious "DOORWAY AFFILIATE" pages safe.

    I thought you might find this interesting. Check this Google search out and then check the backlinks. This is just to funny.Also notice the search phrase.

    No, DMOZ is ass. I submitted two applications to volunteer in their directory and they turn me down when I am probably the most qualified mofo that fits their needs. I volunteered in the Game Reviews site category, and at the bottom they said they were looking for someone to volunteer to control that category. I don't even own any game review sites, but I used to and I'm really experienced with all major gaming companies as I used to work with them!

    DMOZ is ass...DMOZ needs to die. No normal internet user visits that half-assed directory anyway.

    The first thing is when you are searching in Google for: What is Allintext, the results show in the top 10 a porn site. Allintext search string will give you an idea of how your site is doing in relation to Googles serps. I just found it funny that this site was showing for that search term is all Annie.

    That means that YOU red-repped someone in this thread. Shawn has altered the system to try to limit abuse and it now costs you minus 1 rep point to give someone else red rep.

    You just outed yourself, krumel. :D

    You got to be joking too.
    I have 2 reds on this thread about dmoz. But on two threads. For one post only.
    For telling my opinion.
    So if I red someone for the same reason I got red even if I never posted on this topic.
    A least I posted my opinion and not red someone just for the revenge.

    Anyway who gives a damn about rep? But it`s amazing how people give red rep.

    Have fun.

    First, I didn't give you rep of any color. Second, you obviously red-repped someone, perhaps anonymously, and then posted in here to identify yourself as the one who did it. My guess is that whoever you red-repped saw that and retaliated. Perhaps a second person then dinged you for being a fathead - I don't know.

    1. apparently you cared enough to post about it here

    2. you're obviously one of the amazing people who gives red rep yourself :)
