Forum Directory

[FIB]

Looking at the forum directory ACP>General>Forum promotion>Forum directory I see a list of directories to join.....Example : google, dmoz, Yahoo!, Bing, evrsoft, submitexpress but the Yahoo link doesn't work and upon further investigation it's now joined up with Bing.......... But I'm not too sure if Yahoo still crawls Forum's/Sites? This is what I found.....

Will Yahoo! continue to crawl my website?
Although the organic results will be powered by Microsoft Search platforms, Yahoo! will continue to innovate on the search experience beyond the services delivered by Microsoft. In order to provide Yahoo! users with an amazing search experience, our slurp crawlers may continue to selectively crawl websites to help support these efforts.

Does anyone one have a definitive answer about this?

Yahoo does still crawl sites, you'll occasionally see a Yahoo bot crawling your website. I believe the way to get your forum in Yahoo has changed slightly. So you need a lot of activity in order to attract a Yahoo bot.
