Anyone recommend phpld?

I am thinking of starting a web directory using phpld. Before I buy it, I would like to get your thoughts on phpld. If you use or have used phpld, can you tell me how it is.

Thanks!

Though, I haven't particularly used it as such, but I have heard some great reviews for it. I think if you do want to make a web directory, then you should go for phpld. No need to look any further. If you go for free, then esyndicat is a goodie.

There are a lot of available themes for phpLD distributed for free though i've tried it and i have to say indexu is times better.
Check it and you may prefer it than phpLD, the name of the script is indexu(sorry don't remember the website)

To tell you the truth, PHPLD is a bit too bloated with features and messy for me. I personally prefer more straight to the point solutions. But if you like it, go for it and make the purchase, it's excellent software. You won't regret it.

When I say 'web directory' I mean something really simple and clean, like DMOZ.

Users browse the categories to find what they want, that's a directory. You probably don't care if a directory has 500K listings or less, you just browse it to find what suits you.

DMOZ is considered to be obsolete for a lot of people though, due to the fact it's stack on the 1997 design. I don't deny that i like the clean style it offer myself but on the other hand can't deny that it's becoming obsolete sooner or later.
Plus to mention the it-needs-a-year confirmation of submissions.

That is correct, but there's no connection between outdated standards and simplicity. Indeed, DMOZ is stuck some years back.

It could have a similar, clean and neat design, using a table-less CSS layout. It would still be minimalistic and clean. And modern, of course, with better standards. ;)
