No threads have been started. You can start a thread in the right corner where it says 'new thread'. The option is besides the new poll and mark as read.
Edit: Also, only registered members can create a new thread.
I will probably join once I sorted through my thoughts and have something clear to say. Too many ideas and overall I am too excited about the editor to write down something concise.
As for only registered members creating threads.....you don't say. I wouldn't have guessed that.
