"carnival of fun" seems to be a catch all topic. As a juggler/magician I think that we should be seperated from the ventriloquists because we have nothing in common, and I'm sure the ventriloquists would like to get info without mudeling through juggling tips. They are two totally different art forms with nothing in common, and deserve a seperate place to share their art without distractions.

PS Clowns are a whole nother issue

I agree,
Splitting Clowning, Juggling and Vent into three forums would be a welcome change from my perspective as well. Topics in the Carnival seem to be cyclic between those three areas. If needed, I volunteer to help parse the existing forum into the new ones..

You're probably right about this, and we will try and fix this in the very near future (Remind me Rob - okay? ).
When the forum was originally made I didn't think there would be very many people at the Café, thus the three art forms were combined. Obviously things have changed.
