    I sent a copy of a DMOZ Adult Page to Kevin Conroy / Lance Miyamoto. Note that AOL/Time Warner don't even recognize DMOZ as its project.

    Now I know why they are taking so long to get to my website, they are spending enormous amounts of time "reviewing" adult websites.

    I think it is a brilliant marketing from AOL. First they list all these illegal porn sites in DMOZ, so these sites will have a better search ranking and then sell parental filter to the parents so they can stop their children from watching porn. :rolleyes:

    They don't? Then who has been fixing it? As an ex-editor you know editors don't have the access needed to fix the DMOZ technical problems.

    They are? All of us? I don't know where you get your information, but I think you may be mistaken. If you're talking about the site in your signature then I would guess it's because you have more adsense than content. You might want to work on that. ;)

    It doesn't matter if they do or they don't, and you know they are fixing it by what grounds ? ;)
    Besides one executive lives in Bethesda, Maryland and I have an audience scheduled and I am very happy to let his family view what DMOZ is about. ;)

    Well, yesterday I couldn't edit. Today I can. That tells me someone's working on it.

    I was joking dude. :)

    However, I will say that although I do have a generous amount of AdSense on my website at least I don't accept porn line DMOZ does. But (and now I'm not joking) if I did than DMOZ would likely accept my website.

    Really hard to submit a new site to DMOZ now.

    Considering how much time it took, I got a filing server fixed itself. :D

    It must have weakened enough once Voodoo doll got sheared but you better work fast cleaning up those pedo sites - you know how bad horror films always have numerous sequels. ;)
