If the coins were that popular then they would always be at the top so decent ones wouldn't be 'lost', but why would they need their own entire sub? So they can have about five dead threads in? Take a look at the Litecoin forum. LTC's (arguably the second biggest coin) forum is completely dead. The others are worse. It's pointless having their own forum and it's pointless having their own sub sections here.

Why would they need to buy their own section when they already have an entire subforum to post in? I really doubt theymos cares that much about alt coins having their own forum - most of them are completely dead any way.
They as in the 500+ altcoins?
Besides the generic catch all category that is altcoin general discussions, each thread gets put in the ANN section like a needle in a haystack. Improvements could be made here.
Correct not much caring going on around here.
Like how Theymos don't care that
Spammers and Scammers run wild.

Satoshi left this forum, theymos ended up being the de facto owner. If you have other infos please provide.
I've decided not to create an official announcement thread today. But I will answer some questions.
I've answered this before.
The forum was created by Satoshi and Sirius. Without any explicit agreement or assignment of ownership, it came to be the case that I am now chiefly responsible for forum management. The domain is owned by Sirius. I have no way of forcing him to do anything with it. (Though I recently did gain partial access so that I can change DNS records.) I control a lot of the forum's money. Sirius cannot force me to do anything with this. Various treasurers control other forum money; they're bound by the treasury agreements.
I am not a lawyer, so I can't say for sure who the forum's owner is legally-speaking, and this is irrelevant to me unless I'm dealing with legal stuff.

What if the administrator of this place, (bitcointalk), allowed coin communities to have their own subsection for a price?
Alot of coin communities label bitcointalk as toxic. They then start their own forum. Traffic leaves with them. Why not encourage their traffic to stay.
Rules could be:
If a coin announcement has been here for 1 year and has x number of views then the coin community would have the option to buy a subsection of bitcointalk dedicated to their coin.
I'd imagine the altcoin section would still have a general discussion section like now but in addition, a coin community could buy the rights to have a subsection in the altcoin area where they could post dedicated threads to that coin.
Could generate some extra money for the site. And who doesn't like money?
Thoughts?
