Well, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but while I do think many of the "questions" would be better suited to the forum (yours included), the majority of users seem to like the format of the question section, so there's not really much to be done about it. It's pretty harmless, so I'm not going to strike up a cause against it.
i contemplated posting a question in the forum once, but it seems like the forums are pretty poorly designed. i didn't see a good way to comment on someone's previously made comment. maybe i just couldn't figure out how to do it?
