Ubuntu Forum Community

Device specific (or in the case of Ubuntu, architecture specific) discussions co-exist with technical discussions.

Similar story with other communities (eg. TiVo) - hardcore technical discussion co-exists with banter and chat. It's not that big of a problem, and a price worth paying to keep the community "together".

MeeGo should have a Nokia devices sub-forum (which could be broken down further by individual device) and discussions should co-exist equally with hardcore techie users.

I really wouldn't recommend splitting the community artificially such that one forum (MeeGo) is "elitist" and free of "noise" while t.m.o. is left for less technical discussion.

If techie users want to avoid the noise they can just ignore the sub-fora they're not interested in.
