I agree with webdoctor to some extent, but still believe that the problem can be resolved in a more timely fashion. Even if the ODP is reputed to be a non-revenue generating directory for AOL/Netscape, its importance to the worldwide web for both publishers and browsers cannot be denied. Has Google not caught on to DMOZ spamming why have they not updated since 2005. Something is afoot. Maybe Google Guy can elaborate with a hint.

Lets think of it this way, would the AOL systems be down for 6 weeks so no advertising could take place. I think not. So webdoctor be specific when you say that it takes time. Im not a techie, but lets say AOL affords 1-2 techs to solve the problem in DMOZ while if it was the AOL site they would have 100 techs. Its just ROI and nothing more, no need for any other type of analysis.......good faith to the browsing public just doesnt seem to be an issue. So hey as I mentioned earlier the Google directory serves up a DMOZ directory from early 2005 why not say in 2008, DMOZ itself serves up returns from 2006...No biggie.
