I used to frequent twoplustwo.com which is a poker forum with a bunch of sub-forums about all sorts of topics. Most sub-forums created an off-topic/random shit thread that was stickied at the top, and it proved very successful and generated many interesting discussions.
We have the same basic setup here and I think it's worth trying out. Sometimes we all have things we'd like to share or talk about but it isn't worthy of its own thread.
Thoughts?
Something discord-like would be good for that. You're basically asking for a group chat.
