I think a link to a random topic would be doable. It would need to filter to public topics to avoid giving an “oops” page. I don’t know if it would be more efficient to generate te number, check to make sure it’s OK and if not try again. Or get all the OK numbers and then randomize using that. I’m thinking the first would be better, but that’s only a guess.
