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?

It almost certainly wont happen. Bitcointalk is labeled as toxic because it doesn't care about Alt Coins one way or the other and for whatever reason, people don't like that. This is Bitcointalk, the forum's objective it to allow people a place to discuss Bitcoin related topics. People have proposed ways to "vet" coins for special privileges here to separate the longer lasting coins from the new, but as stated, the forum staff/admins don't really care to. We have been trying to encourage people to create their own communities like we have created here for Bitcoin, because we can't appropriately serve multiple niches.

Bitcointalk's indifference towards alt coins only changes to disdain when it interferes with Bitcoin discussion, which is why it was given its own section. Removing the Alt Section would just lead to people posting about alt coins in Bitcoin related boards, which would be even more annoying.
