First off, I think it's clear that the majority of posts are new users who can't figure something out.
Given the general focus and clarity of the typical newbie post, I doubt that their choice of message board would be very accurate anyway. If we had two sections, then the person who doesn't know you need a program to use a skin is probably just going to post in both places. Of course, Jafo could always clean those up, but I don't think we need to create any more work for him.
Also, I think if links to FAQs and Stardock newgroups were more prominant on the main message board page, the frequency of these posts may decrease. On the other hand, if peple can't read the top of a library page, which says "These skins need this program", then chances are they aren't going to notice links to FAQs or newsgroups either.
I guess you just can't win. But basically, I like the board with one category like it is now. I find mutliple categories confusing, and new users would likely find them even more confusing.
