Open threads should be their own subreddit.

No matter how often you post open threads, people will not post in them right before a new one is posted, because others wont view it as much. The way to solve this is to add an entire open subreddit.

Basically, open threads are a replacement for forum-style discussion, with topics promoted or demoted according to frequency of comments. Is there some way to just make reddit code display posts ordered by most recent comment? Then someone could make us an "Open Forum."

I wouldn't mind seeing an off-topic forum either.
