I personally like the main forum as it is - but this has been shot across the bow a couple times, and glad to see the poll and results not surprising.
That said - the 'political' forum side currently has no sponsor, use is limited to a single digit percentage... and because people can't seem to help themselves but devolve conversations into personal pot shots and even direct attacks - it also has a very disproportionate percentage of Mod time spent on it. With lots of other forums more appropriate for that kind of discourse, going to see a poll on it's future. Certainly it's going to need a sponsor for it to continue imho.
