There's one about CSS, there's one about AJAX, despite being called TalkPHP, so apparently the idea behind this forum is web site development with a focus on programming PHP. Suggesting a design/layout forum isn't exactly as far fetched as putting one up about movies.

A photoshop forum no, but I'll tell you one thing from my limited experience; programmers generally don't have a clue when it comes to usability. Perhaps if they had a little more background in it (which is becoming more and more prevalent, as a lot of headhunters that have contacted me in the past have asked if I have any experience in that area), they would be better suited to develop a system with that in mind, or at the very least be able to communicate with the front end folk at a more technical level.

I'll be the Hoff to all your Piers, and vote Yes.
