Ditto as it is. While trying to figure out where I should be posting a thread I'm tweaking, I have not seen any particular distinction between the two subforums as they are now. Both have posts about hardware, both have posts with people having problem getting it set up, both have posts about people finding a new store that sells existing solutions and debating whether or not the store is a scam, etc.
However, I think there's some room for 'custom hardware' when we're actually talking about custom hardware. E.g. discussions of new chips (whatever the underlying tech), new reference boards, people DIY'ing a miner using chips on a breadboard (why not.). If somebody makes a new EverythingIsAwesomeFury miner, this would be a fine place to present it. But any discussions about problems with them, people selling, people buying, etc. that is not strictly discussing the hardware could be moved to whatever subforum is appropriate for those (For example, Beastlymac set up a separate support thread for the Ice Fury in /mining/mining support), even if that does end up being the main /mining/hardware subforum.

Actually what we need is a subforum for announcements for hardware preorder scams. Save them the trouble and make it easy for them to know where to post their announcements given the large volume of them appearing.

The problem with this is I work with several pre release companies who are legitimate, but are scared of putting anything on here for fear of being wrongly branded a scam. We need to step back and be reasonable about how we treat a new company. Obviously if its registered to XYZ Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigeria, we can probably guess which way it is. I would propose custom hardware turns to hardware, and then GPUs are considered a subforum.

Well, without wishing to derail this into a subject on pre-order hardware, those companies do have the option of sending out a unit for review to a trusted member of this board; there's several that have proven that they are trustworthy (to both vendors and potential buyers), fair, and know what they're doing. Any time a company says they can't send anything out for review - or worse, can't even show pictures/videos - they're really applying the broad-brush-of-scampainting to themselves.
Back on-topic, a new hardware announcement sub-forum would make sense, even if just so there's some official threads for the things that can easily be found without having to navigate the waters of group buys, technical issues, general inquiries, etc.

Seeing as the distinction used to be gpu vs other. Why not split it like that, make a gpu mining sub forum and make custom the main forum for hardware
Agreed

Agreed Because as you all seem to keep ignoring, GPU mining has nothing to do with bitcoin mining any more - that's precisely the point of this forum thread. Altcoins for GPUs, sure, but that belongs in its own forum subsection and not bitcoin mining.

By the way if you have had your forum thread moved to archival -> cpu/gpu mining and think it's still relevant in this hardware section and want to keep the thread alive, the opening poster is free to move the thread themselves. If you are not the opening poster and wish it moved back here, you can report the thread to a moderator for it to be moved here.
