Also, as MPL4 and its previous versions are very different, it'll be easier to distingush the two.
I do not agree.
Though they are different, many stuff is still the same (only the menu items or how you get to a certain option is different).
This does not require new subforums at all! In fact it will only add to the already existing chaos, duplicated threads and what not.
All which needs to be done by the helpers is stating correct and detailed postings, instead of being vague. And if needed state that this is only for versions x... just as they need to do now.

I think the current sections (with minor renaming) are fine. The focus will slowly migrate from MSN and Plus! 3 to WLM and MP!L naturally.
I partially agree, except for the renaming part (unless you mean add something to the title instead of totally replacing it)! Not everybody will be using WLM and Plus! Live. There will still be plenty of people using MSN Messenger and Plus! 3 for quite a while.
Furthermore, there is nothing in the forum titles which indicate that they are about 1 specific version only. No change is needed.
Adding new forums (or totally renaming them) will:
1) only confuse people who have questions
2) not prevent cross posting of stuff or references
3) make it more confusing in regards to referencing to other threads
4) not prevent people from creating threads in the wrong (version) sections and thus with the consequence that helpers automatically assume the user is using a specific version while he/she is using the other one...
5) produce duplicated threads, help posts, etc in almost exactly the same subforums (appart from the version)
6) etc...
They only thing which needs to be done is:
1) for those who ask questions: state the exact version they're using (but this needed to be done already!)
2) for those who help people: ask what exact version the OP is using (but again, this needed to be done already!!)
In other words, it will be more chaos than it is now...
Nothing should change (except for certain vague postings of some people -it's not the quantity that counts, but the quality- blah, look who says it +8000
), it is fine as it is.
