DmozSucks

Our purpose is to expose the Open Directory Project - ODP located at Dmoz.org and its short-comings. The initial concept and purpose of Dmoz was great and is very much needed online, but now it seems that it can do more harm than good to some innocent websites. There is a lot of controversy about this directory which is now heavily utilized by Google and other search engines. Keep an eye on DmozSucks.org . A website that is created just for this purpose.

Dmoz.org Lists DmozSucks.org and then removes if quickly. cowards? Indeed!

I came across a forum thread on V7N.com where someone noticed that Dmoz has listed this DmozSucks.org website in a category that they maintain of websites critical of their directory. But, this did not last for long, I am not sure, but it seems it only took minutes for them to remove it from the directory. The search for DmozSuck on dmoz.org the listing still shows in the search results. Search usually lacks behind the main directory listings. Dmoz Editors love to brag about their openness and transparency, and often boast about that category, yet they only list 3 URLs to old stale or abandoned pages that are no longer relevant to them. But they cowardly removed this site within minutes. I believe what happened was that a lower rank editor approved it first then tried to get approval afterwards from a higher ranked editor who removed it right away. What a bunch on cowards. Dmoz sucks indeed and they know it but way too coward to admit it.



- Yahoo's Cache of the listing

How about a blog entry on the hopeful threat to dmoz of Chainki?

And how about becoming an editor yourself, Mr DmozSucks blogger, and you Reader-of-this-comment, on Chainki?

I wouldn't be surprised if DMOZ and ACORN were working together.
