Revision as of 03:35, 29 December 2005 by Nzd (talk | contribs) (+cat)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)An open thread is a post on a blog or frequently updated website where readers may comment and discuss any topic that they choose.
Usually more useful on popular blogs with large amounts of traffic, open threads are often used when the author of the blog has no subject matter to post on or there is a lull in posting.
Open threads are also used to break up the monotony of posts on the main pages of blogs - comments may build up on content oriented posts therefore authors use the open threads so page load times wont be slowed down.
