I mainly agree with Boris (Quote below)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would just rename "experienced" forum to "support"
and leave "general" for other not support or "how-do I?" discussions.
(Edit: And make this clear from the start)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whilst at my skill level I need to use the forum
to ask questions as time goes by I have found I can even answer some

which I have done whilst looking for answers myself.
If answers for support are in several places this just makes it more difficult to get results.
In many cases you can search on a subject and get the information you need without having to post another article - thats a good thing (IMHO) If thats all in one place, thats got to be better.
I guess you will always get a mixture of people some who post straight away as soon as they have a problem and at the other end of the scale those that exhaust every possible avenue before asking for help.
On Boris's suggestion "How to" How Do I" and "FAQ" should be in a seperate (categorised) section for all those repeat requests on frequently desired modifications / issues (answers written by most experienced members - as If you havent got anything else to do

eg
Q: How do I defer mail delivery ?
A: Read Charlies thread [here] on Concurrency
