As a noninsider (used to be but now I've converted to GA) I don't really want them separated. I'd rather see what the insiders are seen and what problems they are having without having to go to places to look for the information.

Decided to opt out of the insider prog on main desktop, but the opportunity to buy a 6 month old Lenovo laptop cheap (no it wasn't dodgy) presented itself, with win 8.1 on-board having purchased and sorted out a few problems now updated to win 10 home for free, thought I may as well use it to rejoin insider prog, waiting for first update.
Would also like to see insider separated.
But nobody says noninsiders would be locked out of the insiders forum. I'm also supporting the idea to create a seperate forum. As soon as new builds start to show up there will be problems and fixes exclusive to that build. According to me this will probably confuse noninsiders who use the normal version.
Too many categories to duplicate for insider versus non insider. And 1 section with all problems for insider builds will just get congested. Threads will disappear off the main page and not get the help they should. IMHO. If you put the word Insider in your thread title it shouldn't be an issue to keep track of what's what.
And I don't want to have to sift through zillions of the same-old newbie questions to communicate with my fellow Insiders. Did you see what happened in the General Discussion right after GA? It exploded in traffic. Anyway, I expect most 'normal' people do not want to be distracted with chatter about Insider Builds - if they do, they can always go to the Insiders Forum :)
Some issues will be universal across all builds, newbies won't know that though. Those issues anybody can help solve. You still may be able to point somebody in the right direction even if your not running an insider build. Depending on the speed or release of new features, one is eventually going to catch up to the other. There will be lulls in upgrades.
Patient I think that Alpha's suggestion is a great compromise! I don't want to have to bother looking into separate places to find out what's going on with the future builds as I'm sure would be the case with many others. If everything is kept in the same place even people who were not using the insider releases would be able to get an idea what kind of problems are being encountered by those who are.
