Major news about Dmoz's catastrophic hardware failure.

Well, Dmoz editors have finally had the whole run-down regarding what has caused the major delay in getting the prestigious directory up and running again. Unfortunately, the hardware failure on Oct. 20^th really was catastrophic to the point that it could not have been fixed in a week or two as most people seem to think. AOL staff has worked tirelessly and endlessly everyday to get everything working again. .

With the actions AOL staff have taken regarding Dmoz over the past month or so, I can rest assured that another catastrophic failure is very, very unlikely to happen again. It once again proves AOL's commitment to keeping Dmoz over the web and supporting the organization and its editors, because, if anything, AOL could have easily pulled the plug on the directory after the hardware failure, but, instead, they have stuck by it and financially and technically supported it during this tough time. Kudos to AOL!

[edit] I'll scale back some things that were previously said in this post, and although I don't think I've said anything that may have breeched ODP guidelines, I will say that I want to save myself from suspicion. The reason I'm doing this is because there is an ODP leak out there and I don't want people thinking it's me. But, I just want to make clear that there are a lot of rumors being spread about Dmoz right now, but most of them are false, and I'm not going to tell you which ones are false and which ones aren't. You'll just have to wait to see if Dmoz decides to release any information. Whether or not they will remains to be seen.

[edit] [edit] Okay, I guess I realize that I probably did breech ODP guidelines in what I originally posted, which is completely, utterly, and 100 percent-ly wrong. Big mistake on my part to have posted it. I take full responsibility for whatever consequences follows for my inadvertent mistake in being excited with the news that editors might be able to edit again soon, and then hastily posting afterwards. This is a big lesson to keep your fingers from excitedly typing when you get such good news. But, I do take comfort in the fact that even though I was naive when I posted, that there is some editor out there who is maliciously leaking the most critical Dmoz information.
