Comment (by jenks):

 How does WP do this... I don't recall having to denote left and right
 sidebars. I would think CSS could handle taking care of some of
 that...however I do see your problem when it is a 3 column layout. I still
 think that inside of sidebar.php (which would be called by get_sidebar();)
 it would just require a designer to create separate divs and place
 accordingly. It would however require that get_sidebar(); is placed in a
 manner not to trap itself inside of the main forum area I believe.

 As I was typing that I also had another thought come to mind. If it can't
 be handled outside of the creating separate functions, couldn't you pass
 an argument to the get_sidebar();. Something like <?php
 get_sidebar("left"); ?>... this would just require the function to be:

 function get_sidebar($position){
     switch $position {
        case 'left':
           ENTER APPROPRIATE CODE HERE;
        case 'right':
           ENTER CODE;
 }

 I'm a pretty novice PHP developer but this way would be a DRYer solution
 to adding sidebar positioning.
