dmoz unreachable?

[han solo]

I just tried every url I could think of gnuhoo, newhoo, and dmoz.org...all page cannot be displayed.

This happening to other people?

Yes. It's down. They moved servers yesterday, and I suspect that this is one of "those things."

At any rate, no ETA at this time.

Opps click on your incorrect link grnidone

thought I was seeing things for a second

They always seem to be down at least once a day. This has been happening for some time now I believe.

[han solo]

at least I'm not seeing things (with respect to their site being unreachable.)

Thanks all,

These days in California, you'd better hope they have backup power too... (Most do).

They're actually down right now... or at least I couldn't connect.

[littleman]

I'm getting a directNIC ad right now at dmoz.org.

[backus]

They are well and truely down! This is really bad for ODP. I'm an editor and I can't get in!

>> These days in California, you'd better hope they have backup power too.

I just saw a story on NBC TV news about various states attempting to court dotcoms and high tech firms away from CA with the promise of uninterrupted power. Minnesota has a big billboard on one of the California freeways that says

"White-Outs, occasional.
Blackouts, NEVER.
Upgrade to MINNESOTA.com"

Check it out on [news.minnesota.com...]

Jesse Ventura and his staff have now kicked in with cold calls to California firms.

lol.

Little, that was a typo in the domain above...it was a typo domain you got.

With the increasing failed connections and sometimes Google search redirects, what is DMOZ's current state? Is it costly for Netscape to keep the site running?

[backus]

Dmoz is way too big to be making a loss, too many sites use it!

[mivox]

Yipes... I'm getting a 'document contained no data' error... Have they been having consistent connection problems for five days straight now? That can't be good...

[backus]

Dmoz is up. That means the editors can finally get on. Big updates are coming, people.

[vis]

Dmoz up, but no update yet.

A site entered on Monday still not searchable.

[Brett_Tabke]

It appears it is back to 100% operational?

[vis]

Still waiting on a search being enabled for a site entered into the directory last Monday- normally 48hrs.

[Chumani]

Having a lot of trouble getting search results from dmoz.org for the past hour. Anyone else? I'm getting this:

p.s. I've got a screenshot if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about...
