Where's the "neither" option? I don't like open threads, but neither I do going off site. Why can't we have a sub-lesswrong?

Because this is hard to implement. If you want to implement it yourself, please do so.

If LessWrong is based on Reddit, and Reddit can spawn subreddits at will, why can't LessWrong do the same?

Reddit's codebase has been heavily modified for Less Wrong, and subreddits can't be introduced without breaking the site. Seriously. People have tried to do this. It's hard.
