I agree with the problems illustrated here, as well as the ones above, that having certain dates set is just more convenient for not only players, but for mods to keep things going in a timely manner and have a rhythm set. Basically, months are already organized for us neatly like they are.
What my suggestion would be is an app round every OTHER month, but AC every month. I would also suggest that AC be free for the first month when you app in, if you feel 4 weeks of the first settling in to not be enough to gather! I think AC should be the same days (the last week of the month, let's say), and apps should always run the same days (the first five days of a month).
That's what I think would work best to address everything! The main thing you'd have to consider then is the types of events you'd carry on app months and non app months, but in my opinion that's not too difficult of a problem and can help new players get involved a lot more.
