Why is your link policy so restrictive?

We have kind of an old fashioned idea about the web. We would love to have an ad free web like the old days. However, we understand that hosting is costly not everyone can afford it, though it's getting cheaper all the time.

Our acceptable link policy allows for linking to sites with text and banner ads to help cover server costs. We draw the line with adult content ads, pop-up ads and those stupid embedded flash things.

We don't try to be all things to all people. The web is full of blogs, and if your link doesn't fit here, you can be sure it fits somewhere.
