I don't really get what I'm supposed to comment on in this thread.

I believe you're supposed to link to a past post you feel is valuable enough that people who missed its initial appearance in discussion should go back and read it. The idea of this thread being that you don't have to create a new post and clutter up discussion to do so.

That would only be effective if people do that more than once a week... do they?

They don't create a new discussion post drawing attention to an old thread once a week, no. Whether there is one person a week who would make the same post in a less obtrusive thread dedicated to such posts is another question.

The existence of the Open Thread complicates the issue a bit as well.
