I've only ever submitted one site to Dmoz and had it picked up pretty much right away. I wonder if it depends on how many editors they are in a category because I was very fortunate as compared to many who can't seem to get listed.

I wasn't aware they closed their forums to inquiries though. The main forums are not for listing inquiries, they have another that was supposed to be but I never went there.

If you are despirate about adding yoursite, why not join DMOZ and add it yourself?

That only works if you can be an editor of your own category.

Yes, you just apply to edit that category

I have been rejected by DMOZ 3 times as an editor of a niche category that has nothing to do with my work. on the third attempt a meta editor wrote my application, and it was STILL rejected.

DMOZ is broken guys, face up to it. While there are a lot of decent editors, there are also a few crooked ones who wield their power like a light sabre. They add their own spam sites, and they knobble the descriptions of sites in competition with their own.

My attitude is now, do it one, do it right, and forget about it.

OWG rejected? now wonder DMOZ is such a crap, maybe you need to bribe in order to be accepted and an editor, just like I heard you need to bribe one of the editors to get you site listed sometime.

Heh...Heh...Heh...Heh...

Good enough to edit the entire UK in Skaffe, but not trusted enough to edit a cat with 5 sites in it LOL.

Am I bovvered? Look at the face, I ain't bovvered.

It's not that easy. They make you jump through a few hoops prior to being accepted. For a while I considered actually trying to become one, started going through the sign up steps and said forget it.

I also think DMOZ is bloated with tons of editors who do nothing.
