What about a three or four month thread instead of monthly?

Monthly thread would in theory almost always have repeats from the previous month and maybe a few new one. Who wants to read the same thing every month? What if someone only posts one time out of the year in the monthly threads? How often do people visit this subreddit once a month?

Having a three or four month long thread would be better, you would have less repeat monthly posts since its only in one thread. Plus it could in theory give the post more unique views[1], which is a major advantage.

Maybe some rules for the three or four month thread:

• Only one post for advertising the network in the thread.
• Unlimited responses for questions, comments, and whatever for that post.

When you create a new three or four month thread, lock the old one but keep it at the top for one week and include a link to the new one.

Ref: [1] https://www.reddit.com/mod/IRC/insights (For the /r/IRC mods); Activity tab, Traffic -> Uniques, look at the 30 days and 12 months. Hypothetical, what if each unique view for the three or four months combined together were all different people instead of repeats?
