Directories did exist before search engines but you do have to work with search engines today in order to do well.
As you can see from the list here There are no moderators for this section.... They don't seem to be looking for any either as I did volunteer.
It's not what's been said in this thread, it's about the whole directory section itself and the solitation section. Lot's of threads are posted in the wrong section and others don't follow the simple rules when replying to threads. I'm not pointing a finger at you or anyone else who posted in this thread. The simple rules need to be enforced for a little while to hopefully get this section back to a great place to hang out in. If there was a mod who has a background in the directory industry that will be a bonus to us since he or she would know what's what. I don't think members read the board description's before creating a thread. Right now we can only report posts and hope the situation get's fixed in a timley manner. Also i'm having a spelling problem.
It is really too bad that reporting threads does not work... I report misplaced threads time and again to no avail. Spam will occasionally get addressed. All one has to do is look at the threads here on the first page of the directories category to see. Filled with misplaced threads and junk. Oh well at least it is not my site right?
Right now i only read threads that are started by respected members in the directory industry cause i know something good is in there to read. The other threads i do not pay attention to. Well if the thread title get's my attention, i'll take a peek otherwise i'm in other forum section's here on DP. Have a good night, all this directory talk made me want to watch a movie.
