I've been trying to get into DMOZ with one of my sites for months. They just don't respond. The category I want to be placed in is full of really bad sites, some aren't even active now. DMOZ is 'the big thing', without inclusion there I feel Im losing a huge amount of potential advertising for my site but, it isn't run properly, to say so much depends on it.

I applied to be a DMOZ editor a few times too and they are damned awkward, seems like DMOZ is a closed door to me.
