most contributed Image posting threads "by the month"

[ImSoNegative]

I know the title probably makes no sense but its late, anyway, not sure if this has been addressed or not but i noticed in the Image posting section that landscapes have over 9000 entries why dont we do a monthly thing for them like we do for portraits? and also for other Image threads that have alot of contributions, just an idea

Never mind the 9000 entries of that thread. The "What's happened with moderators since my last 2007 presence here?" thread has more than 5 000 000 views - and growing, despite the fact, that this most visited thread of the whole forum was - well, closed by a moderator.

Gotta be a bot attack of some sort.

OP:

If folks want to start doing landscapes by month, there's nothing stopping them. So, try starting a new landscapes thread for October (or wait until November) and see if it catches on.

Not a bot attack, simply that many people googled for that sort of thing.

Thread titles need careful design. Like a news heading. imho

Many people have to wonder what's happened with moderators since their last 2007 visit and ask google about it. Yeah, it must surely be that. One can wonder why the year 2007 was so important to them. A bot attack? One can wonder why would somebody want to attack moderators or this forum with a bot attack.

Absolutely, amen brother. It would also be nice to have correct spelling in the thread title too.

I don't get the logic.

You're still going to be reading the same number of post, so why change it?

There would be less pages to flip through if you break up the thread by the month. That may mean more to some folks than to others however.

Wouldn't there be exactly the same number of pages? You're not diminishing posts; you're just breaking them up.

My only problem with this is that if someone starts a "Landscapes November 2014" thread but not everyone follows along, we will then need to follow TWO separate landscape threads to catch all of the posts split up between them. I don't have a preference otherwise, but fragmenting existing threads seems like a bad idea.
