You won't get to see a new child-board if there isn't more relevant activity. I think you'd have more luck if you'd wanted a new child-board for signature campaigns and related stuff. I actually had suggested this a year and a half ago, I'll bump that topic in the Staff section and link to this topic, signature campaign threads are crowding out other content.
I used to be a home miner in 2011-2012 so I can relate having made many a stupid mistake, thankfully people smarter than me did the electrical wiring in the house. I also lost a portion of money I invested in a hosting operation back then, when various projects/investments related to mining and hosting were being undertaken, IIRC all other investors lost almost everything after waiting too long to quit (the guy behind the whole idea was a massive moron).
It's not only mining where newcomers tend to keep making the same mistakes over and over, btw.

All very fair points and I appreciate you taking the time to reply. However I'll stand by my proposal that hosting, just like pools, is an important mining specific service. It might be a chicken or egg sort of thing, while yes, we do not see people asking it just might be that they do not know it's an option.
