How do timed topics and town halls work?

A timed topic opens a window — great for live debates, AMAs, election nights, product launches. Questions flow in while it's open; the chosen few answer; when the window closes, the conversation is preserved.

The longer cut.

Some of the most interesting conversations have a clock on them. A live debate. A two-hour AMA. The night of an election. The morning after a product launch.

A timed topic creates that clock. It opens when you say, closes when you say, and tells everyone exactly when. Questions flow in. Hearts push the best ones up. The chosen few answer in real time while the room is full.

When the window closes, the conversation doesn't disappear — it stays as the record of what happened. Future visitors can read it like they were in the room.
