I developed my own at BungeeBones.com. It has been a challenge but worth it.

I guess I can't say I developed all of it because I started with the open source script YALD but I have customized a lot of it.

I added rating ability by both the public and other webmasters.

I changed the login and session handling to an object oriented class.

I added a different navigation system that is quite unique. For the subcategories I have them come under an alphabetical pagination system, as opposed to numeric. But unlike most alph pagination systems, I only create as many pages as necessary and display the letters of the names they contain. Most give you a list of the 26 letters and you end up clicking on empty pages.

I converted it into a subscription service where the directory can be installed on other websites with just a few lines of code and be fed from my server a la Adsense style. The website owners can then just kick back and let me review the links etc

I tied a social bookmarking script into it that I called "Webmaster Favorites" thinking that everyday average surfers might find the recommendations of webmasters as credible.

The real challenge for me will be whether it can stand up to a lot of traffic, if and when I get it.

You all are welcomed to add a free link and it does have pretty good PR (pr5).
