I have to say penguinbait, good idea !

I think separate forum'd be good idea because:

- "Hackers" / Advanced Users can help each other
- Beginners like me can follow what's going on without browsing though all "asking for help" questions.

The only reason why that kind of forum would not be a good idea is: itT forum / other forums used also for helping people, might loose some active members = Beginners will not get help that easily.

But, yeah, i agree with separate forum for hackers/developers
