The past few topics haven't sparked anything that would be worth a post, wouldn't fit in my blog or just would go off topic :(<br /><br />Last time I participated I managed to make it happen, but that too went a bit off topic, in order to make it fit the topic (gold making) better - if my memory serves right.<br /><br />Let's hope next one brings lots of ideas :)<br /><br />How about "What is your favourite, new gold making method you have discovered this year?"<br /><br />Or perhaps "How would you make gold as a fresh level 1 toon on a new realm?"<br /><br />Or even "What profession makes the most gold for you, and why?"Kujahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411764236950250696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-26119372563301808512011-06-08T20:16:37.501-05:002011-06-08T20:16:37.501-05:00C'mon Scott can't this just be a post abou...C'mon Scott can't this just be a post about your blogging carnival? You do a great thing with this Carnival by helping people--you helped me when I had my blog up and running man and I'm greatful for that. Why does this have to be a "screw him" post instead of just a great promotion of your Successful Blogging Carnival? <br /><br />I guess im just in the corner of; at some point this mud slinging has to stop and one side has to take the higher road and ignore the other. I wasn't in support of Markco's post the other day--I can see where he's coming from as to why but it was still just a sucker punch when its all said and done. <br /><br />One of you two will just have to be the bigger person and take that one cheapshot and ignore it and let this thing die out and go away.<br /><br />TTYLAdam Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404825153521376308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-78322372586078932182011-06-08T18:53:01.203-05:002011-06-08T18:53:01.203-05:00@ Anon Beta

Things do change.<br /><br />As I've said before, every baby eventually weens itself from the mother. <br /><br />When someone sends you bullshit responses over and over when you contact them and gets so defensive that they start attacking you for no reason, then create false stories about you scamming their paypal account (which is an outright lie) and posts other completes lies as a smokescreen after they are caught red handed lieing to you and cheating you out of money, then your tune would change too.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-65433059074654916922011-06-08T18:46:07.192-05:002011-06-08T18:46:07.192-05:00PS: Cold's Gold Factory Blog to start.

Growth together will others is a collaberation. We are growing and doing new good things. People can join and benefit too, or they can choose not to, then watch us rise as they are stuck in the mud from their stupid allegiances that prevented them from helping themselves.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-82317884264151274252011-06-08T18:41:35.511-05:002011-06-08T18:41:35.511-05:00(Different Anon here, let's call me Anon Beta....(Different Anon here, let's call me Anon Beta...)<br /><br />I find the whole thing lame, childish and generally just ridiculous on both sides.

And the growth will follow.<br /><br />It's not sharing readers from the main sites hardly at all, as most readers of the main sites are going to get little to no benefit from the traffic draw of new players and players new to gold making. Once they are schooled on basics though, they will be graduating to higher learning and onto the main sites.<br /><br />80% mud slinging? I see a single paragraph that could be construed as derogatory. When in fact it is much more of a call to action to the chickenshits hiding behind the crowd afraid to step out of line or be hammered by the real bully of this community.Coldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988692142058297277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-23366954864524027632011-06-08T17:15:48.148-05:002011-06-08T17:15:48.148-05:00Cold this is the first anon.

Your newest site is just you hosting and requesting other bloggers to share in content creation as well as readership. You're going to grow initially, but what steps have you taken to grow beyond the initial audiences you will gain from the other bloggers involved? I don't see anything in this blog that shows leadership, which is what I think you're tryin to show by mud slinging. That's bullying, not leadership. I don't like being insulted for following anyone besides you either.<br /><br />Probably won't pulish this but you pissed me off with your horribly contrived explanation.

Newer bloggers really aren't utilizing either carnival to the fullest and that's the main gist here.<br /><br />And yes there are those that are scared to participate due to fear of being attacked or cut off from the other blogroll for participating.<br /><br />I have friends behind the enemy lines. You wouldn't believe the shit I hear coming out of there with discouraging people, attacking people for assisting me on other projects, or forcing people to pick sides, etc.<br /><br />You won't hear that petty high school clique drama garbage coming from this side though. Forcing people to pick sides and threatening them? Really?

Not to say they are bad topics at all, but if reading over a topic doesn't automatically spark an idea for a post I will usually skip over it. Sure, I could probably brainstorm a post, make some shit up, or hammer a different concept enough for it to fit into the mold of a carnival topic, but I don't want to. I want all posts on my site, and especially posts that are submitted to Carnivals or as guest posts, to be written because I had something to say and because I wanted to, not because I felt obligated to spew out some random sentences to meet a Carnival topic or deadline. Lately, though I find the topics in both your Carnival and JMTC's interesting from a reader's standpoint I have not felt I had anything astounding to contribute, and so I did not.Faidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391974662068287154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-89834859212743844032011-06-08T16:19:59.826-05:002011-06-08T16:19:59.826-05:00HEY!!

I understand not everyone using anon is hiding and I want everyone to be able to comment. Unless more idiots ruin it for everyone else again. <br /><br />90% of anonymous commentors post garbage or spam.<br /><br />Not slinging mud myself, just trying to say stop following other people just for the sake of following and blending in. Think for yourself. This site is growing without you, as is my new site. You can get on the bandwagon and benefit as well, or you can stay off and wallow in the mud with the others. <br /><br />That is the main point.

Under those circumstances, I will remain on good terms with those sites.<br /><br />Mud sticks; marking both those that fling the mud as well as the recipient.<br /><br />At the moment you are prioritising your complaint against another blogger over your carnival. Many readers only the first part of a post. About a third of your post is dedicated to slinging mud when the apparent intention of the post is to advertise your carnival.<br /><br />Understate your complaint; Avoid the issue where practical. Use a paragraph rather than a post. Use a single line rather than a paragraph. Use neutral terms<br /><br />Finally, it is not just the carnival that attracts traffic to other site, but also your blogroll.<br /><br />To entice more bloggers:<br />* Stop slinging mud<br />* Offer a spot on your regular blogroll for published posts<br />* Encourage submitters to compare and contrast their published posts on your carnival.Foohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02444693774790165427noreply@blogger.com
