I know currently in the rules it states you can't have any discussion about religion, politics, or anything that could possibly offend anybody at all no matter what. Would it be possible to get a forum that allows such topics, but make sure those venturing there know what they're getting into, and as such MUST be coherent and mature about the topic at hand.
I think that such a forum would do well here, as many of the people here are more mature than the average message board, it's just impossible to discuss things without someone having a chance of being offended reading it. Giving clear warning could avoid this, and give those people who don't take offense at such things an interesting place to discuss things. (Also, any violation of flaming rules and such here might possibly count as two warnings, you were warned before posting in the forum)
I know new forums are usually made based on demand for them, but seeing as any topic that might go into the new forum I ask about is currently banned, it's impossible to judge how much demand or not there is for it.
