After years of trying to get my website listed in a certain "open" web directory that claims to have been "founded in the spirit of the Open Source movement" and more recently failing to get a few other websites listed that I felt were much better than similar listed sites — I began to experience a strange feeling.

Was it just me? I began researching and reading how many other webmasters had felt towards this web directory and found more troubling issues with it and its editors than I could imagine. It became DMOZing to see all these people submitting their web sites only to find out they do not have a chance in hell to actually get listed.

This practice has become DMOZing to the morale of webmasters worldwide as they can only pray for a miracle that they will possibly become listed some day and the inspiration for this website.
