I am totally in favor of open threads, but I think the correct place in the current site hierarchy for that is your personal page, as opposed to the frontpage, so I moved it there. Happy to discuss whether to do something else with open threads, in meta, if people have opinions on that.
I wonder if it would be better for there to be a throwaway account that could post open threads to its personal page. (This seems easier than having the system treat open threads specially, which I might otherwise advocate.)
Not a problem, but the site’s interface is confusing and I’m a little bit unsure of the exposure the post gets. I check out and it’s on the “community” tab, correct?

Have regular open threads please.
I love open threads. There are tons of questions I want to ask, which would just look pathetic and attention-grabby as blog posts.

This seems like a better idea.

Yep, those are findable via either the “community” tab, or the “All Posts” page.
