    There could be any number of reasons.


    You may have been moved to a more suitable category.
    Your server cold have been down for a couple of minutes.
    Your site may have changed and no longer fits their standards (lol)
    You could have recently paid for the domain/site as that is a sure way to get removed.

    The list goes on & on & on, and it's only guess work unless we know the category & site, and even then it's still pretty much guess work.

    Sites are removed for any number of reasons. The most typical reasons are:
    1.The site was non-functional on two consecutive visits by our automated quality tools -- the site will be reviewed by a human at a later date.
    2.The site no longer meets our standards for being listed. The rising tide lifts all boats analogy appplies here.
    3.An editor may have determined that it is no longer applicable in the category where it was listed, and they delisted it as part of a move to a more appropriate category.
    4.The site was determined to be significantly under construction.
