give it one last shot or kill it off entirely

Whilst I agree that it should ordinarily be a case of "let it go public or kill it off", I think based on the amount of excitement generated in the first month or so for this forum and given the whole "let's have a month to get closer as a community each year" vibe that it would give off, I can see this kind of thing working well as something to come back occasionally. It's not an 'event' and there wouldn't even be necessarily emblems (though we do end up making them for just about everything...!), but more of a "this forum will be open every January so we can start the year by getting to know each other a bit better" - something like that.
I think the MIC was a great idea and I love the concept, but it's something that I've always seen as having a finite life and I think this is the best method to get around that, if we are keeping it on still.
As for Pachy's idea of "ask 3 questions to open a thread" I think that would be more likely to result in spammy questions for the sake of having a thread, no? It seems like a case of "let's get extra posts for the sake of it" to me, but I could be wrong haha. I think it's definitely something we could try whilst the forum's in beta if it does stick around for much longer, but we'll have to wait and see what's decided haha.
