Hi Sailor G - Thank you for your feedback! I've definitely heard from a few players that the holidays are getting a bit repetitive and that the TDM prompts get missed by the main game, and I completely understand. That's definitely going to be one of the main things that changes. As of now, my plan for the monthly mingles is to do a quick rundown of the holiday traditions with a link to the previous year's mingle for further information along with a new prompt for each month, and to incorporate the TDM plot with an additional prompt to pull it into the new month, just to throw some action into the midst and make the TDM missions more accessible to accepted characters without taking that action away from prospective players.
For your question about continuing network threads into action, there's really no rule about that! It's actually the main reason I chose to go with a word count for AC comment counts instead of whether the tag was a 'log' or 'network' tag - so people could be as flexible as they wanted with where they threaded things and still get credit for longer tags on the network posts.
I'm still a bit up in the air on the idea of a cap - the reason I'm interested in instating one is mostly because if the focus switches to more curated and intensive plot, I wouldn't be able to handle 175 characters, which is where the game cap is at right now. Most likely, the cap would be lowered to 125 or 150, which would leave room for expansion from its current size, but keep it from getting bigger than I can handle.
Thanks again for your feedback, I hope I've addressed your concerns!
