A hard drive crash??

I'm sorry for sounding a little narky on this but I find it hard to believe that a backup drive cannot be thrown into the machine in literally 10 minutes.

Is DMOZ.org hosted at a legit datacenter or in a bedroom / someones house?? I would have thought that with the level of importance the ODP carries that it would have been hosted in a location where hotswaps could be done promptly.

Oh, we're used to much more narky posts around the Web Yours is still quite gentle, I dare say...

BTW, I can't disagree with you. Unfortunately, aside from the couple of staff members who are doing a great job with a huge list of improvements (not only with public-side ones, but with internal ones, too), we don't get that many resources and attention as we'd like to.

A little internal research recently resulted in this page, already posted by gringo in another thread

Ah, dmoz is up right now.

That is too funny! I do find it surprising though that for a website that is considered so important to the rest of the web, how often its performance is either very poor or completely down.

Netscape should be able to buy a few more servers and more bandwidth... They do have the money...

Over the last week of two I've found it's down or busy at least half the time I try it. Also, none of the web sites I've submitted to it in the last year have been indexed. I'm finding it kind of useless.

I also found some comments a few days ago [not sure how true they are] that seemed to imply that DMOZ editors get bribed to add sites, or the editors put their own site in an not the competition.

Again, use this mirror, and new hardware is on its way

"Human edited" so mistakes or wrong doings happen, however those kind of things are picked up eventually and dealt with.
