Ask HN: Opinion on increasing post life to a month from 2 weeks?

I ask this because I am playing with the idea of checking HN less often. Once a month seems like a good interval for me.

Doing this, though, would take away my chance of participating in some discussions I otherwise would, as they'd be archived before I see them.

Increasing submission life to a month will mitigate that and allow me, and likely others, to reduce the amount of time spent on HN looking for interesting links and waiting/hoping for them to become successful so we have plenty of people to have a discussion with.

And there have been many threads on HN which I wish didn't die out so early, because there was plenty opportunity for it to grow further.

I'd like to read what the HN crowd thinks about this and what you like/dislike about it.
