Dear DMOZ,

(3 comments)

thank you for disabling my editor login again without a warning because I didn't do any edit to the German "Furry und Wertiere" category for the last three months. I appreciate your strict following of your rules from the late 90s when there were plenty privately produced websites with interesting information popping up every day. Alas, this was never the case for German language information and todays' kids have a Facebook and MySpace profile page, but certainly no own web page. Worse, every company on this planet has its own representation on the web already, and it seldom has any notable content. A couple of years ago I would have recommended to change your mode of operation, but from todays' point of view I'd rather recommend to pull the plug altogether. Everyone is using Google anyway. Not that you'd care, but I hereby declare my resignation as the editor of "World: Deutsch: Gesellschaft: Subkulturen: Furries und Wertiere".

If anyone wants to take over as an editor of that category, feel free to apply. Not much work besides occasionally checking the list for dead links and periodically doing some fake edits to not let the account expire.

The internet makes everything soo easy.

Including feeling old.

I don't even feel old... It's just a pity that some projects that could still be useful don't adjust and lose their relevance.

I would understand it if they actually had a request from someone to take it over. Of course the last time I did that for the English one, I got no response whatsoever.

There's a recent startup that makes this mistake, too, only their limit is 15 days. Definitely a turn-off.
