Ironically this sort of "links section" probably dropped out of favour in large part because you could find those pages easily through Google, which knew which ones were good because they were linked in a lot of peoples' links sections...

Also, it gets ever harder to keep up over time, as good links either go away or deteriorate in value.

Perhaps not coincidentally, both the Yahoo Directory and DMOZ have been entirely shut down.
