If you don't mind for me to make a suggestion but after reading some of the threads in the directories category and its sub categories it came to my mind that there is only one popular directory which is DMOZ but why not Yahoo Directory for a sub category under the directories category considering that Yahoo Directory is very important and popular directory since it is the competitor of DMOZ in several of the people's eyes?
A quite few. Mostly the replies in several threads which is the reason that had me thought about to suggest this.
Mmmm... don't really see that happening to be honest. Directories are on the decline, not the rise these days.
True, that make more sense as the directories are on the decline. I take it back to think that it would be too much of hassle. That I agree with you but while like Shawn said that the directories are on the decline then why not remove DMOZ since it would be pointless to add Yahoo Directory as they are on same level? Since if DMOZ board is hardly getting any attention then no point of keeping that board there if Yahoo Directory isn't either as Directories are on the decline and everyone hardly use both of them. And beside removing DMOZ would free up a heck of space in database.
How will it free up space? If the DMOZ forum was removed all the posts with be in the general directory forum.
Got 'cha, don't see the reason for all of the threads to be moved to main category of Directories instead of just removing all of threads that goes with the DMOZ sub-category. Of course that is only up to Shawn but I am only just suggesting.
That would make a ton of 404/dead links. Besides there are some Dmoz threads worth reading and a lot to read if you need a good laugh. I don't see Shawn touching the Dmoz section or even himself reading threads in there.
