How can I propose and recieve ideas of a hard problem? [closed]

Where can I propose and discuss ideas, get more mathematicians involved in discussions and propose ideas on a mathematical problem?

I have the feeling that Math StackExchange is not the right forum for it, because it seems problems have to be more concrete or specific and not a place to have more than just one discussion. For example there are places where one has to be a bit more ambiguous and vague to find new ideas to a difficult mathematical problem. I have lots of ideas, but now I don't want to open a new thread each time I get a new one after some research. (And the research I do is about a specific problem in mathematics).

Now I just found a tag named: "mathematical modeling", can I use that for hard problems and idea and brainstorming/mingling?

  @AdrianKeister Mathoverflow is probably the worst place for this. Thematical chatrooms are possible, but most of them are dead, except, maybe, homotopy one.

In my opinion, live discussions on faculty or during conferences have no online replacement; most mathematicians I personally know have same belief. In isolation from academic society it's very unlikely that you will have possibility for such communication with positive outcome.

I do not know where you live, but if there's a university with decent math faculty nearby, I highly recommend to look for research seminars related to your theme and attend them. (They are usually semi-open to visit, communicating with seminar secretary will probably help.)
