Dmoz been hacked or simply f'ed up?!

Has anyone noticed what's going on with http://www.dmoz.org/?

I just gone to check to see if a new clients link has been accepted yet (there's some wishful thinking for ya lol), and noticed that all the pages as screwed!

I have emailed Dmoz to ask what's happened and when the site will be back to normal (well just about to email after posting this

)

Below is a screenshot just in case its fixed before anyone gets to see it lol

Ouch. I was on there making a submission just the other day so let's hope it's only temporary. They have historically had a lot of server issues.

Seems to be back to normal now, but I never got a reply from them, not even a thank you for pointing the issue out for them

lol

As a dmoz editor myself I say thank you for pointing out the error Nathaniel.

DMOZ was down while some maintenance was performed. The outage was expected.
