  Daily is too often. Weekly would require each post to be pinned so it doesn’t get downed out by other threads. I know how to pin automatically created threads, but automatically unpinning the old post when a new one is made would require research on my part.

    Agreed on the daily thing. No idea about pinning or unpinning though.

      I would just have to automate it to:

      1. Make the weekly post – easy enough
      2. Parse the response and log the post number (for example in the URL of this post (not this comment, the post) it says 84851. I can store that string in a text file.
      3. One week later, fire off an API call to unpin that post number.

      Doable? Yes. Will I do it? Maybe.
