---- Is the DMOZ Server Repair Delay Undermining the ODP's or AOL's Reputation?

Ok webdoc what I was saying was that it is because of the fact that DMOZ does not generate any revenue is why the problem is not repaired. We know that the ROI is fundamental, hence the CEO/CIO will not be screaming fix it. Imagine this scenario:
AOL Tech: Sir, DMOZ Editor log in is down.
AOL CEO: What!? how does that affect our bottom line?
AOL Tech: Um..Sir it doesn't.
AOL CEO: Anything else you needed to talk to me about? No, go back to work..

So I think no concern for the hundreds of websites that come out between January 2006 to present that are backed in DMOZ, not to mention it takes almost years to get in...making it an absolute club. Ive heard of Meta Editors cooling their own sites, so why do we think that DMOZ is that important. Trust Rank must be low and with this latest debacle DMOZ is going to come to an untimely demise or at least will begin to wane in importance.
