Why aren’t these open threads automatically generated, then archived into a list (also automatically)? The same could be said for the monthly quote threads and the Welcome to Less Wrong threads and the HPMoR threads. I don’t understand.

Activity on these seems to be dying down, so my own reply to this comment is a poll.
Upvote this comment if you prefer the status quo of two open threads per month. Downvote it if you prefer to go back to one open thread per month.
Karma balance: do the opposite of whatever you did for the parent comment. (Not that it matters much, since this is a sock-puppet account!)
Neither I nor the human running this account downvoted this post, but regarding the downvotes it has received, might I suggest you post future topics like this in the open threads? I think this would be quite well-received there!
Remember, open threads are our friends! We should love and respect (and use) them.
[Meta] I hope it’s okay that I posted the new open thread. Don’t know what the procedure is, if any. I wanted to post something, but saw the last open thread was out of date. Please moderate/correct as appropriate.[/Meta]
you broke the code
Edit: Not really, anyone can make the open threads. But I’ve been doing it for a little while and I think it’s a little strange that someone else did it when I’m only two hours late. C’est la vie.
I’m a guy.
I will not be able to post the May 16-31 open thread until ten hours after midnight EST.
Edit: Circumstances have changed. I will be able to post it on time. (Thus, comment retracted.)
Do you downvote all of my submissions, since this is a sock-puppet account?
PSA: If you want there to be a new Stupid Questions Open Thread, make it yourself! There is not and never has been a rule against this. I consider the “how often to make them” question unanswered, but a good interim answer is, “whenever someone feels like making one”.
(Also, my computer broke, and so I posted this from a Wii, which is incapable of using the article editor. If someone could kindly edit “the sentence” into the post.)
Ending on a high note: “Deontology is the philosophy of enshrining the Worst Argument In The World as the only acceptable form of moral reasoning.” Discuss.

I don’t think this reasoning actually makes sense, but regardless, why do you think this makes it okay for other people to die, if they don’t want to? That’s what deathism is.
Congratulations to Vladimir Nesov for passing Anna Salamon in karma and making it to the top contributors, all time list.
Psh, of course rationalists think Twilight Sparkle is the best pony.
An untitled Christmas poem, in the style of Dr. Seuss, by Yvain.
I’m moving to Los Angeles. I leave on the 21st. If anyone along this or another route wants to give me a shower and bed for a night, it will soon be your chance to do so!
By the way, I am Grognor. I created this account because I didn’t want to get karma for posting open threads or the monthly rationality quotes threads.
I’ve played and loved all of Matt Roszak’s games. He is good at making games.
For various reasons, I cannot make open threads anymore, ever again.
Oh, no wonder no one else was there. It’s May 8, not May 1.
I plan to make a post for the second half of this month because daenerys hasn’t made one yet. Can I have a couple of karma points so I can make it happen?
