I had a chance to visit DP after a long absence and was thoroughly amused by some of the posts in the Directories forum – seems nothing has changed.
Little reason to waste your time there; the same folks are still spamming their crappy directory lists, others are still confused as to what constitutes quality, and the Solicitations & Announcements section is nothing more than a spam fest.
I got a chuckle out of one of the posters’ subtle attempt at self promotion of their web directory called LinKernel.
I followed one of the spammy link drops to an article on a directory about “top quality web directories” and surprise, surprise, their own directory is listed.
Top Quality?
You bet!
LinKernel
