    Critical as ever I see (from me and not the editor).

    Well, really... you didn't seriously believe that posting a comment like "you could always fill in the refund request form" was going to suddenly change anyone's mind, did you?

    Good point! Let's keep the good suggestions coming here:

    Like I said, why get on those who don't have a say so in the matter? It's pointless to say the least.

    CandySmith,

    It's amazing how many sites on DMOZ don't have DNS entries. I pulled down quite a few dmoz pages, parsed out all the .com|.net|.org links and found hundreds of active domains with no DNS entries. And quite a few domains that were around a month past expiration (and no DNS entry). (BTW, I think I checked considerably less than .1% of the sites on DMOZ, there's a lot! I think I looked ~13k, but a quite a few were dupes so it's hard to say, and I'm not that interested, just thought I'd give gworld's trick a try. =))

    Going through, there are also some REALLY bad sites listed in DMOZ. Terrible sites that have zero content, and are sitting on geocities or something like that. I have no idea how they got approved in the first place.

    I have noticed the same thing, actually once had a site listed and let the domain name expire. 6 months after expireation it was still listed and by then had some domain jacker's affiliate content on it.

    One thing about the cnn listings is that many of the pages listed had their content moved.

    I had to do a lot of work with dmoz to get an old site that had been domain-jacked, removed from the directory. I didn't want the new 'owner' getting any benefit of my hard work.

    I became an editor of my category as well to help build it up. I just have not been able to find a great many sites to add and the submissions total about seven or eight a year. (small category) Other than that, I don't have anything to do w/ them. I don't want to green bust, I don't want more categories. What I've got going on is just fine for me.
