Oh, no! Dmoz has been down for 5 weeks and I'm getting impatient.

Okay, so the latest news is that the AOL techs are still working on some things, but they haven't bothered to communicate what they're doing with Dmoz Admin, or other editors. Editors are feverishly waiting for Dmoz to be put back together again so they can continue editing. I, on the other hand, am becoming impatient. I'm starting a new job on Nov. 27^th so that means I'll have even less time to edit. Before this new job I had all the time in the world to edit, but chose to only spend a little of it actually editing, and more of it reading threads at Resource-zone (R-Z) and the Internal forum. Read to the end to find more news about the current Dmoz outage.

I'm quickly losing patience in Dmoz, and obviously other editors are becoming temperamental in their wait too. If Dmoz does not revive soon, then I'm afraid to say that my patience will have worn out, and right now my patience is very, very thin. As soon as another good hobby for me comes along then I'll leave Dmoz in my dust. Even though I enjoy editing there, there is only so much patience I'll have before I begin to look for another way to spend my time. I'm really beginning to lose interest in Dmoz.

Latest Dmoz Outage News

Okay, the latest news is that although no one has gotten any updates in a while from AOL techies, the editors who were asked to test the directory for bugs are finding some of the major bugs they found progressively being fixed, so AOL techs are still working on it, slowly, but surly.

[edit] Some information from this post has been erased also (see above post with the double edit), since the information could be considered too much. Although, I did think about if information about how they are working to fix the issue with the servers would be too much info, and if it could be used in a malicious way, or information about when they thought Dmoz would be up and running would cause any harm to Dmoz, I came to the decision that it wouldn't and decided to post it. It was the wrong decision, in hindsight, of course. And, again I take full responsibility for making some bad decisions within my posts and will take the consequences with my big girl shoes on. Plus, it didn't help when presenting information in my own unique writing style. Writing things like "Word has it..." does seem suspicious, lol, so I wouldn't be surprised if people got the impression that I'm also leaking information, which I would never do, but I can absolutely see if anyone got that impression from this post or any other. But, just for the record, I've never leaked anything regarding Dmoz, only made a few bad decisions regarding what I posted in my blog.
