If it's true I have to say I'm really not surprised. I passed their test over a year ago (I believe) and suggested a number of sites. Some they took and some just sat there not even reviewed. I posted a message a couple months later about them, and of course there's no reply. That's not a way to run a directory.

Its run a hell of alot better then dmoz is thats for sure, ive never seen child porn, sadism and racist sites in zeal but they have all appeared in dmoz. Zeal is a great site and if thats true then it will be ashame.

Furl is a part of LookSmart, Zeal was too. Did they just pick one to run with?
