Sure am, count me as the (first?) black hat world member amongst the dmoz ranks. the spiderman saying really hits home once you get that editor status though.
 
Congrats.

So.... how many PM's do you have since posting this?
 
A few PM's. Wonder how many I will get if people find out I manage the viagra category.
 
Talk about some perseverance.

I gave up at year 5.
 
My sites 12 years old - so I got in Dmoz when all you had to do was click "add site" and it took about 3 hours.

But reading this thread made me have a look at my listing and it's a PR4, and I'm the only one in the category. I may apply to try and keep others out.
 
And I suppose all the uber mega brains at Google who spend the every moment of their expensive time figuring out how to keep up with what's relevant on the web HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT YET THAT DMOZ DAYS ARE LOOONG GONE LIKE A DECADE AGO.

Correct?

This thread is like "wow, I got an iphone 1!! I'm so cool! And I saved money for 11 years to buy it".

Dmoz wtf

If you were a bit older you'd understand the nostalgia some of us get. Dmoz is now the running joke, but at one time it was beautiful and the pinnacle of our puny website efforts.

For all the WoW players out there, it's like getting Baron Rivendare's mount AFTER they increased the drop rate. Easy and pointless to do now, but at one time it was epic!
 
The first website I had, made only profit because of the authority it got from the Dmoz link.
Soon after the Dmoz Link got deleted 2 years later, the site dropped into the Nirvana.

But uuh, that's like 7-8 years ago & I'm 21 now.

Don't be a dick. DMOZ has a huge nostalgia factor, and while it isn't as important as it used to be, its still a deal.
 
well apologize for the dicky sound of that post

but anyways i doubt it's relevant these days. doubt this can even be tested, since no site gets through to be listed in dmoz unless it belongs to an editor there, or you bribe an editor there. i really doubt google isn't aware of this, as this has been the case for years. honestly, it just sounds too far fetched.
