I only see one problem with this. If the thread was on the list of threads then people would enter the forum, look for the rare and exit before using up a turn rather than pwning the forum. The rare thread would have to pop after you take down at least one thread and would then also need to be locked in for that forum otherwise the speed runners would constantly miss the rare threads.

Otherwise this is an excellent idea and would add a lot to replayability for vets between episodes.

Extremely good point. It would probably make sense to have a “look! a rare thread!” or some similar little notification when one pops up, once again akin to the boss thread. Then it’ll just wait there until it gets pwned or the player loses/leaves the forum. This also might add an element of strategy for lower level players. If a player think he might not be able to make it through the forum, should he go for the rare thread now to be sure and get the item?

Rare Items Based on the character. Or just not do it and have boss threads. You could get Ophilia’s Razors, Haxel Rose’s Ip. Like that.

Also a good idea. It’s always bugged me that there’s only one item in the entire game you can get for the “special items” slot, and it quickly becomes useless once you reach episode 2. Having a wide selection of unique equips found in rare threads would add more variety to that particular equip, and also help justify making rare threads extremely rare.
