The stupid questions threads only happen once every few weeks.

But I'd love to see separate areas for politics or social skills.

As far as a separate area for politics goes, we had a while a separate recurring thread for it. Now we have Omnilibrium. What's wrong with those solutions and why do you rather want a new section?

As far as social skills how about opening up a new recurring thread for it or specific threads on subaspects? Threads already seem quite successful in establishing different rules and norms.

I'm not a fan of Omnilibrium's UI, but I guess that's the lesser issue. The bigger issue is how often do people actually post there? How active is the community? I suspect it's not going to be very large because it's a separate site that people have to visit.

I suspect it's not going to be very large because it's a separate site that people have to visit.

If that's the key problem we might add the Omnilibrium threads to "Recent on Rationality Blogs"
