    no change for me here.... although i wldn't be surprised due to the seemingly never-ending wait for the next update. But we can possibly deduce 2 things abt submitters now: either they know nothing abt PR-update and SEO or they are serious webmasters who do not let the PR-update affect their continued marketing efforts. I generally have a better impression of those who are continuing to submit now, just a gut feel.... ;)

    It's probably the PR update, and that it's summer, and people are out on the beaches having fun, not working :)

    its usually like this because of the page rank update, business will boom once this page rank update is completed.

    I see a small slow down even though I have added more listings seeking submissions.

    I just figured it is due to school is getting ready to start again. Many go on vacations just before.

    You probably won't see a big influx of submissions because you got PR finally. Promotions matter more than PageRank.

    Bloglisting.net normally gets 20-30 submissions daily, slightly less on the weekends. Haven't seen a drop/

    There hasn't been a drop in submissions on my end, but there has been an increase in rejections.

    No coincidence and if anybody is telling u different, I think they are holding something back.

    We get more submissions usually then we can make business cards for, since aug-09, its dropped.

    Wait like 2 weeks,(after labor day) they will go back up.

    At least for me the PR update or holidays not having influence on submissions, today I had a record number of submissions all from different submitters.

    Who's going to openly admit to the fact there is a drop in submissions.

    @anon; do you refund your 'rejections' as I couldn't see a policy there?

    @jl255; You said,

    What do you know about the PR update that other webmasters don't? Maybe they just fall into your second part which I agree with. with, that webmasters are learning that PR is a load of BS and have stopped chasing it so much. For what its worth the level of submissions for my sites are up but I dont play on PR or newsfeeds like some.
