This is pretty much what the S&S forum is about. We tend to answer questions and announce updates here (or in the applicable forum). So I am not sure I see the benefit of making a smaller forum that would contain what this forum already does.
Only problem with that is that they get many, many replies, mostly spoon feeding and the other some just garbage about them being mods and all that. They are sticky threads for a reason; they (try to) make users read them and (hopefully) they get the information they are looking for.
