Keep it real
Yeah, I don't like the idea of giving some companies their own sub forum.

^^^

It turns into bad precedent real fast, then what happens when a new company comes along?  They'll want their own section, and how is it determined who gets one and who doesn't?

How many chip producer are there ?

3 and two of them already have their website.

There may not be many now, but do you know what the future will bring?

Away on an extended break
Sections need to be vendor-neutral.

+1. We have enough drama on the 'BFL supporting mods/admin' and etc now.

Given how important mining is to the bitcoin ecosystem, how hard of a task it is to produce ASIC chips and how much discussion is being generated by each of them I think the community could only benefits from allowing company specific boards.

Requirements :
  • Being requested by company owner
  • Produce own chips
  • Proven working devices

Benefits vs creating own website :
  • Clean the parent /Custom hardware/ sub, making place for new development
  • Benefits from bitcointalk's reputation system.
  • Lower barrier of entry for customer support.
(not all business have the resources available to run a safe and functional forum)
