I let you guys down and I'm really sorry about that.  But I'm back and it's up and running.

Edward, do we know if the Money Mail carnival is still alive? I guess I should email Rohit, but I have submitted each of the last 4-5 weeks and never see anything on it.

I don't know what is going on over there. The last carnival he put up was December 8.

I personally don't use the HQ site anymore as the confirm email they send includes no link to who is hosting it or when it's going live. I use BlogCarnival.com and BloggerCarnivals.com exclusively now as they send emails showing who is hosting it and the date it's going live. I know even then that it's only about 80-90% accurate, in my experience, but it makes it much easier to track down what Carnivals I am in as a lot of them don't send a pingback for one reason or another.

It appears the Financial Simplicity Carnival is not active right now (at least as far as I can tell). I submitted a question about it to the carnival organizer, Step Away from the Mall.

I just have heard through my interactions over the past few months that some bloggers right now are afraid they will be penalized by google for unnatural linking by participating in or hosting carnivals. 

Personally, I plan to continue participating in carnivals until I hear a definitive report. So, I would be interested in hearing what people have to say!

What do you mean, being penalized or categorized as a link farm for hosting carnivals?

I think that for the most part, blogcarnivalhq is up to date. The only carnival I know that is not active on their list at the moment is Best of Money. 

I also sort of share your thoughts on carnivals. It seems like I submit to quite a few of them, but don't get included (or maybe my google alerts aren't picking them up). I need to go through my submissions and make sure that they are all active. 

I know that a lot of people are sort of in "flux" right now about their opinion of carnivals and how it relates to Google's penalties from last year.
