Looks like a website that strives to further good things, such as free debate between people of different opinions. Good idea but the execution is lacking, I find the UI to be clumsy on full-page width. The font is too large and while I don't mind monospace fonts usually, it does not look neat for me in this case.
And as others have mentioned, things are rarely a two-sided topic. Would it be possible to allow for a topic to have more than two sides? n-number of positions to take that are somehow pre-picked by the OP?
Also, as others have mentioned, how will you moderate it? Will you allow highly controversial topics like those regarding WW2 and race? Where will you draw the line? The quality of a forum is firstly decided by the people who post on the forum, but moderators decide who are able to post on a forum, so in effect, moderators end up being the final arbiters of forum quality in the end.
I would find it very interesting if there was a forum that was formal in tone, allowing people to sometimes border on offensive but never hateful topics. A forum like that would in theory perhaps allow most if not all voices to be heard and talk to one another? While such a place probably would not be pleasing to most, it seems like something the internet lacks at the moment.
