I'm wondering if removing the word "technical" from this heading would channel people to search for the right location to post questions regarding their nonforum related matters. I confess, I have no idea how difficult it would be to make a name change.

I appreciate your concern; however, I get a 1% bonus every time I move a thread.
A few years ago, I did a survey to see why members erroneously posted in Forum Technical Support. The name of the forum was rarely mentioned. By far the number one reason - They had clicked on the Forum Help and Support (just called 'Help,' now) link at top right of most forum pages. Renaming this forum would not change that situation.
Another popular reason: "I didn't know where to place the post and knew you would put it in the correct forum." (See the bottom of this post.
Most of the misplaced posts come from new members or members that rarely post. When I move a post from a new member, I get a chance to open a dialog, welcoming them to the forum and providing them with a link to a description of each of the forums.
That said, Sarah can detect when I have an abuser - a member that has made half a dozen posts over a period of time; all of them misplaced in FTS.
