While I appreciate the sponsorship for a 30 days of content event, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to do this right after the first one finished.

I would have expected such a long event event every other month or so. To make it a bit more special, maybe more time to find more sponsors for more prizes, etc.

Do you mean you’re concerned that we’re doing another 30 days of content with this partner right after we did our 30 days of content this past month?

If so then I’m trying to propose that we do a thread competition instead, but confirming with the partner.

Would also like to get your thoughts on this as well.
