Given how much activity happens in open threads (glancing through /r/discussion, it looks like 1⁄2 to 1⁄3 of the comments), maybe have open threads every three days (days divisible by 3, perhaps) and give them their own sub (so, Main, Discussion, OpenThread).
Prediction: 10% chance we increase frequency of open threads, 20% they get their own sub if we increase frequency. I haven’t observed LW changing much, and the largest changes to the site since I arrived was instituting a new moderator.
Yeah, it fills up to fast—it starts feeling uncomfortably full after just one or two days for me.
So having it every other day might be worth a try. I guess the main issue is that if we have them too often, it will clutter up /r/discussion.
