oh i understand what you mean but sometimes when a directory becomes diverse there is no way that one person or even a team can do everything - something like area, sci-fi which is really a collection of very niche subjects having a "specalist" in each niche works well.

I have tried to give a few suggestions and the logging is probably the most important.

Still dmoz.com i think works really well, as far as human maintained directories go i don't think anything beats it, yahoo really pales in comparison and i now hardly ever go there. The only sites that generally seem to have more and decent links are individual niche directories like what all of us here are building.

I just hope that the editor function of linksSQL is taken seriously by gossamer, it is one of the main reasons i bought the software and currently is the only directory script that has the capability - i just hope a great start can be expanded upon over time, it would be something very hard to mod in by a user (well i am sure you could do it pugdog! but you don't count as the average user!!!!).
