    latehorn I think you still did not understand my statement!

    It is still possible to create static html pages (not ny .ht access rewrite ) by using a database

    do you want proof I can show it

    I thought it wouldn't run on a database at all..
    Anyway, will you create static html pages for every possible search term(because it's generally the search that takes CPU most power to generate)?

    What a imagination? but I am not the man smoking over there I do not even smoke

    I will create it definitely but the only problem is that I have a another great idea

    I do not know whether to choose this or that

    It s all about a directory but not in the usual categories

    Also Its first 10,000 pages I can create it in 10 days as I visit 1000 pages daily

    Dmoz idea sounds ok. But in reality, there shouldn't be so many editors. Too many editors mean too many opinions. Bunch of egos doing different things won't create an consistant long term success. I think that's how Dmoz died.

    I believe we can do it! Count me as an editor and let me know when you are ready to start this project.

    We can never know the answer unless we try it.

    May the force be with you! (and your disciples)

    Yes there would be definite revenue model in place like google adsense ads in submission pages and revenue sharing for instant inclusion and review submissions

    I have already posted it here

    Also some of the people here do not want me to go ahead with idea because their own interests and they always give red for me for starting this thread

    Eventhough I think your idea is stupid :D I will not give you a red rep because this thread is entertaining. I advise you to go ahead with your other project, no matter what it is.

    Its entertianment for you but not for us

    I think most of the guys do not have the guts(i.e do not have back bones to fight against a big directory or big search engine)

    Always remeber Dmoz was created because of Yahoo

    Dmoz was just created by to guys we should aprreciate them for their guts

    I am afraid that if a world is to be occupied by aliens I think people who have criticized me would not be brave enough to stand against them

    dmoz doesnt exist without google backing it.. if somebody convinces google to let them start a directory and have google give it large amounts of credit in their results then its possible. And thats just not going to happen.

    :rolleyes: Please tell me what this statement about the people that criticized/repped you for this thread, has anything to do with our views on world domination by an alien race?

    P.S. What do you have against aliens? :D

    Thinking about to be next dmoz, when you have all of your directories rub by a third party script?.,
    Dmoz does not have a revenue model., Your intention is not to create a directory useful the for public but for profit., If profit is your motive, You need to start a business.,
    Directories will just give crap income minus your time involved to maintain the sites.,
