I'd be happy to buy a domain name and host an Inkscape forum. I already pay for a host that's grossly underused for my personal website.
Egads, ANOTHER Inkscape forum? Don't we have enough already?

How many do we have? I can appreciate your point, but only one person has responded to dniezby e-mail with a link to an actual Inkscape Forum - which I didn't see until after I posted. And a Google search (inkscape forum) says there is only one Inkscape forum, in German.
That aside, whilst you could argue it divides the community, you could also argue the more website the more exposure. And the strongest one would likely win. One forum would prevent division but if it's poorly maintained and implemented, who would want to use it?
Note that this is all argumentative. I'm not attempting to start a mailing-list mutiny :) If I was to start a forum it would be to fill a void. You've suggested there are many forums already, I'm only aware of one.
