A Welcome Change

In the past, the Blogathon has required that bloggers raise a certain minimum number of sponsorships before the event. This rule was written back when there weren't as many blogs, and the Blogathon caused quite a bump in readership. It was to prevent people from joining up just to increase pageviews, and to decrease the number of sites we were administering during the event.

This restriction no longer makes sense for the event. People join up to raise money for their favorite charity, and to have fun. These are two things of which we heartily approve, so we have dropped the minimum sponsorship requirement.

Sure, this is going to mean we're administering a lot more sites, but we figure it's worth it.
