Honestly, I'm surprised it took so long to get to this point. The directory has been declining in usefulness for the last decade or so to be honest. And that's all because they can't seem to attract enough editors to keep it relevant. I mean, look at the games listing there, then drill down to consoles. Notice anything off? Yeah, all the subcategories are from circa 2006. That area of the site is so poorly maintained that they don't even list categories for the 3DS, Vita, Wii U, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Nintendo Switch. And that's the case with a lot of categories now. The TV section doesn't seem to have an easy to find category for Game of Thrones or the Walking Dead. The US presidents one doesn't have a category for Donald Trump (though it still has one for him as a candidate elsewhere). Basically, most of the site's categories are just woefully outdated, with the sites found in them not being much better. The DMOZ has just been too infrequently updated and poorly maintained to really be useful for people nowadays. So yeah, not surprising they had to call it quits. A site which doesn't have relevant information for most people just isn't worth keeping around.
