Followed a note that was published by David F. Prenatt, Jr. aka meta editor netesq posted on the XODP Yahoo group on December 18, 2004 12:03 PM: visited http://www.corruptdmozeditor.com/ Corrupt DMOZ Editor and had a good laugh.
It's written with Google's blogger.com, started December 02, 2004 by someone called "Ana Thema", profile gives no extra info. The About text states: "A ransom note to those who are still waiting to get into DMOZ". The meta description talks about a "DMOZ Pay For Inclusion Express Submission Store" and the keywords follow that idea. The site is hosted on its own IP 66.172.90.222 by Sunwave Communications, who offer affordable hosting and promises reliability, performance, ease of use, maybe a reseller of Cogent Communications ( cogentco.com ). As I expected the domain name was registered through Domains by Proxy, Inc., Scottsdale, Arizona 85260, a company that specializes to get you domain names and keep your name secret.
There are currently only six posts there, last one December 03, giving practical advice like "How to Bribe a DMOZ Editor" or "Three Tips for a Successful DMOZ Submission".
I'm sure there will be people who follow these advices and expect some nice rumours going round.

Trizia, are you "[t]hrow[ing] one-way inbounds" ? Already ?
And how do you propose to make a Web site anon ? Just using the services of Domains by Proxy ?
no inbounds

Throwing one-way inbound links ? No, stupid.

" While friendorfoe just used the thread, rubrum from the thread: "... couple of hundred seems reasonable to me" "Corruption happens, face it, deal with it, live with it, utilise it." "... if they don't police their own system it's their own fault."
