Charles,
Well, actually I think you would get the opinion from Lindsay that there are too many forums already. The RR Tavern is actually the "dumping" ground for things that just have nothing to do with radio monitoring and are of little interest to the those people who are more concerned with Public Safety monitoring and operations. Sure sometimes radio related things are there, but in most instances there is a different proper forum for that.
The state (regional) forums are there for regional things of interest to the RadioReference Community in that state (region). Now, if it drifts to things that have little (or nothing) to do with those interests, it will be moved to the trash pile ... err, tavern. But as long as the regional community has no problem, we (the staff) will not object if you want to talk about emergency equipment, or search & rescue, or ... well you get the idea.
