submitting to most of the directories won't work

    I am trying to submit our site to some directories these days but I almost never succeed. Take for instance gi8.net. When I hit the submit button -- after having thoroughly filled-in the submit form that is -- the mysterious submit-page reloads. Nothing else happens. :-/
    This kinda sucks...

    Am I the only one who does not get it? Did anyone out there ever get his/her site listed in one of the directories of the vilesilencer list?

    I'll bet if you examine the submit page that reloaded, you will either see a message indicating one of the fields was not acceptable (not enough text, invalid format, etc.) or there will be a very small sentence (easy to overlook) saying the submission was accepted and please submit a new site.

    No, unfortunately there were no messages.
    Though, when submitting to fasttracked.com, I got a message: "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.". Yeah. :-/ What do you make of it?

    Let's for instance have a look at the following pretty nice screenshot I took only five minutes ago.
    Disclaimer: I do not intend to bash a certain directory. Just getting mad at this...

    There can be a variety of problems when submitting to directories, if i can i will use their contact form to let them know, trouble is some dont have a contact to make reporting easy.

    From time to time i cant tell if the submission has gone through, no message, no red text telling me ive missed something, no character limit showning.

    I just move onto the next one.
