The open threads are the last remaining useful part of the site (they're the only thing I come here for now it looks like the rationality quote threads have stopped), and they've become much better since becoming weekly. I think you have the causation backwards.

Why do you think rationality quote threads have stopped? They're monthly, which means the next one should be up in a day or so.

They're difficult to find. I have to use the search box each month to find the new one.

Nobody votes them up. I think the current thread has four upvotes and two downvotes. I understand the reluctance to shower someone with karma for the maintenance work of posting a recurring thread, but if the thread doesn't get voted up then it never gets to the default Main view ("promoted"), and you need to use the search box or the "new" view to see it.

Or the sidebar.

The April one was posted in Main early in April, but I don't see a May one in Main and we're almost out of May.

If you click on 'LATEST RATIONALITY QUOTE' in the sidebar on Main, it will lead you to the May Thread. Alternatively, you can look for the thread under the quotes tag, or you can do a google search for it.

I am not really sure how you can look for it and miss it.

I am pretty sure about how he could look for it and not find it-- he probably didn't know there was a latest quotes thread link.
