Well, considering we did that this time and it was met with a lot of enthusiasm, it's certainly something to consider for the future!
I said that because it has actually happened in the past- it's something we've noticed over time. It's hard to keep a steady enthusiasm up over the course of several days, and the knowledge that event threads will soon take up their time can cause players to avoid starting new threads on pre-event entries. It's not a guess, it's historical.
We will try, though, to give a reasonable forward notice. Hopefully with better mod communication and earlier planning we won't have to scramble to get posts together at the last minute, which is sometimes the cause of late announcements whether we've planned things well in advance or not!
No promises that we'll be perfect, but here's hoping.
