... Company specific Child board in /Custom hardware/

[Transisto]

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)

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?
