If there is a forum, at least you will know if people actually looked
at your post and just didn't bother or didn't know how to answer. I
think having subforums would also be very helpful. Could categorize
posts into Discussions, Specific Problems, Resolved problems,
Beginners Forum. Ideally, all problems would eventually be resolved. I
know that this would take quite a bit of community effort. Even if
there wasn't some kind of requests/processed system, it would still be
very helpful to have subforums. People asking for help aren't gonna
get drowned out by other posts.
