Ash, thanks for the original post, a bit of recognition is always appriciated
Unfortunately new directories (especially the free ones) are always prone to a large amount of spam submissions from automated software.
To help solve this problem i've integrated the simple verification code (sorry bout that
ctabuk but it serious does cut the spam submissions down quite considerably in the initial weeks), in addition i've added some very, very specific submission guidelines - i am literally being ruthless rejecting submissions (in fact about 50% get rejected based on the incorrect submission information). Obviously feel free to resubmit your sites
Ash, ill keep an eye out and ensure/edit your two sites to make sure they get approved - ive also replied to your email that you sent.
As for the design and categories (
MuNKy) the directory is very, very new so still has a lot of growth in it and i also wanted to make it stand out from the crowd - hence the unique template. The majority of new directories don't have the financial backing or owner initiative, hence most use completely free, totally over used templates. Needless to say as with everything, some people like it and others don't. Some people don't like Voisd either :p
Currently im taking Unleashed to 1000 active links then ill be implementing paid submissions - and once the next PR update occurs ill probably be selling the directory, although ill see that the earning potential as a paid general directory is like before i officially make that decision...
Hope that clarifies some of the above - and thats my first post here as well.
Cheers
