It is called the Discussion section.
Many things still get downvoted in Discussion for being off topic.
Most will also get down voted in the off topic section.
Possibly, but not for being off topic.
And I think the entire point of this post is to change that about the site. So I don't see how this is relevant.
Side, side note: I disagree with this comment, but only after some reflection. I don't want to make it invisible, because the conversation it provokes is actually useful.
Thumbs-up vs. thumbs-down leaves no room to say "interesting but wrong."
I strongly oppose using the discussion section for off-topic posts.
Open Thread in Discussion section.
Open Thread doesn't quite do what the OP is looking for. Open Thread is: A. a bit hard to find (I didn't know it existed, and only found it through the site search) B. a single thread at any one time. Makes it hard to find or follow a particular topic.
The more options we put on the top, like main, discussion, wiki and now a proposed off topic, the harder it will be to find everything. For each one addition the increased difficulty is marignal, but people are already complaining that they miss the unpromoted main articles because it takes two clicks to see them.
Yep, that would be fine with me.
