    Add a Speculations Section?

    Hey there, Thanks for reaching out with a suggestion for the forums! While I can definitely see the appeal of such a subforum for those who would use it, it's not something we plan to add. Folks are already free to provide whatever theorems they wish regarding outstanding issues. What we...
