It is called the Discussion section.

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.

A. a bit hard to find (I didn't know it existed, and only found it through the site search)

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.
