I think we need to rethink the whole "event" thing because I'm seeing it used for two different things.

It seems like rather than events we've mostly had these month long themes lately and it should be spelled out that way. Maybe standardize a bit so that each and every month always has a theme where we argue over what it should be. Then we have a standard time, say the last weekend in each month, where everyone has to bring out themed avatars if they have them. Afterwards the group photos happen. This way there are no surprises about deadlines or what not, there's plenty of time to make an avatar, and there's enough space between each to prevent burnout. This can all happen organically so no need for organization or someone posting reminders about when the photos will happen.

Contrasting that "events" should have a set date/time and always be accompanied by an effort post that explains what it's about. Someone should be organizing it and pushing it often in the thread.

In both cases I think if you are pushing for a theme or event you should link some assets or examples to make it easier for anons to participate.
