Hopefully they'll make it into what it's supposed to be and they won't continue to accept bribes and what not.

Not everyone does but there are some that do. They're losing their quality because so many people see them as only corrupted.

The majority of disgruntled people are people who have submitted their site and their site wasn't good enough to be listed.
Not every submission is approved or good enough to enter. It depends on the category and editor.

DMOZ hands down has been the best directory. It could use a purge/cleanup though.

DMOZ has been a great directory for research and such. I would like to see the deal go through and it grow.

Only bad thing is I'm sure it wouldn't be free anymore. Would Google still piggyback off of DMOZ at that point?

Good point...you would think that Google would not need to piggyback, but that just goes to show.....

I don't think Google uses it much anymore.

When people like Shoemoney get threatened to be removed from the directory unless they pay grands, it's not the site that has problems[obviously, since he was already listed, it's the editor.

Exactly, I agree Jerlene, any editor who does this needs to be removed.

This is one of those large rumors going around, the even bigger part is that the google directory is a mirror of what dmoz has listed.

You're right about it, all forums have the same topic about "DMOZ for sale".

No but if you think your site isn't good enough, I wouldn't even try submitting it.
You'll lose your money no matter what.
