""Thank you for being a part of the Zeal community and contributing your time and knowledge to the Directory. After trying to put the deserved resources behind Zeal, we have made the conscious decision to shut down Zeal.com. On March 28, 2006 Zeal will no longer be available. We are not selling Zeal.com and have no future plans for it at this time.""

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.
