DISQUS

It's your carnival, so you set the rules. If people don't like it, they don't need to be a part/host -- that's the way it is with EVERY carnival.

Good for you for sticking with your criteria.

I think often times folks forget that these are just journals, albeit ones with growing popularity, and that not all of us see it as a way to make money. I think that for some folks, I have no one particular in mind, they see it as more a business and thus are more focused on gaining traction, which carnivals certainly help in doing, so they might take offense to you requiring what I consider simple and reasonable criteria.

Thanks Flexo for putting point #2 up there. I just felt that no one (except for trip) really stood up for the blogs that don't post as frequently and aren't trying to generate ad revenue. Everyone seemed to agree on knocking hosts off the upcoming list just so they can fill in.

To jim, I took offense to the criteria mainly because I thought Flexo was determining who "active bloggers" were by comparing them to his own methods of running a blog (which I enjoy immensly btw). If you take a look at my site, I don't even have ads. Not all of us want to host a carnival for more ad revenue.

Some of us just want to be able to join in on the fun :)

I think the criteria are just fine. Like FMF said, it's your carnival, so you set the rules. I'd still love to host if you need someone to fill in for the host you're removing.

Thanks Flexo. I did not mean to stir the pot. I did not even provide any other solutions/alternatives...and I hate people like that.

I understand your point of view, trip, and I feel you were right to raise the point.

Flexo, Thanks for all your great efforts and You damn sure can make and modify the rules as you deem necessary. There have been some shaky hosts! Thanks again for all your efforts!
