Anyone know how this could be?

Thanks, that clears it up, it is inactive.

One thing I see way too often, so many submitters, even if you do try e-mailing them and telling them why their site is declined, they never get it or read it. I am guessing many just let their e-mail go to a black hole, this happens VERY often. And of course the next day they submit the same stuff.

There are some who don't care if they get rejected. Others, who are relearning this craft, do care very much and use rejection letters (and criticism) as a chance to grow. I have always looked at link trades as a business. If I have a crappy site, nobody wants to send me traffic. If I build nice, then you want my listings. If your LL looks great and isn't a banner farm or death trap of popups, I want to feature your listing on my entry pages, and because I chose to put you there, I don't remove the links. And yes, I do make mistakes.. part of working 18 hour days!

Y'all have taught me a lot in a short time period. I have added a link to the blacklist, but hope that you will have the time and decency to hit me with a reason BEFORE you blacklist me.

I agree compeltely Pagan. There are many folks doing their best to do it the right way and do appreciate reject e-mails. Sad fact is, those are so far and few between, least in my experience. Out of maybe 50 e-mails, I am lucky to get one reply.

I personally dont blacklist people that easy, maybe I am being too nice. But somes times, some days when you wade through tons of crap, you just want to delete then all...

I really dont understand how so many people keep building and submitting sites, thats dont or wont get listed, just does'nt make sense to me. Seems like such a waste.

The thing is, I've learned more from rejection letters then I've learned from any other area. I submit mostly to TGP's, been doing that since the start, when I first started I was submitting using content from a sponsor that was overused. Since I had JUST entered the business I didn't know which sponsors were hated and overused. Well, luckily / happily, one tgp wrote back in the best kind of form letter imaginable. "overused content" and I scratched my head and the lightbulb flickered on. So I changed sponsors, I bought my content as well, and started building pages again.

One sponsor I tried I didn't realize they popped exit consoles from hell. Well, the webmaster at Captainporn.net was kind enough to drop an email, probably form mail, to say that the sponsor was like that. Well, another lesson given and I of course took it seriously and dropped the sponsor.

Well, I look at my stats everynight, lol, trust me I know where every hit is coming from...when I see 8 or 10 other LL's accepting my pages as Kosher and all having the same rules basically...it doesn't exactly ring the alarms that I've done something wrong elsewhere. All it does do is lull me into that cozy false sense of security

Seriously though a generic rejection email would really be appreciated by a noob webmaster. I know most of you guys have been doing this for awhile now and maybe take it for granted that people should just know what to do...but throwing someone on a blacklist because they used a 755 pixel table instead of a 750 pixel table seems harsh. Also troubling from the fact that one of the 755 pixel table pages were accept in the past.

This blacklist is shared by more then one site? If this were just a blacklist for one LinkList...well I probably just wouldn't submit to that 1 list and move on...but since it is shared and blacklisting will effect a person well beyond this 1 site...so it would be nice if a person is notified, even if its a generic email that says "Fucktard your blacklisted"...at least it would be something.
