I think the request was because Asus already has a dedicated sub-section on this forum.

My request was for just the major motherboard brands, not PCs built by boutique shops.

I did not include Biostar and various Chinese manufacturers without a major US or EU market presence

MSI has a very active user forum. Gigabyte no longer has an official forum but there are a number of forums dedicated to Gigabyte.
You could make your suggestion to the owner, John @z3r010 but IMO he has tried to keep the subforums here to a minimum since this forum is dedicated to Windows 11. There are so many categories when it comes to hardware, it would be overwhelming to make a sub-forum for all of them. (Mobos, cooling, power, all brands of graphics card, etc) but that's JMO.

I'm one vote against adding a ton of forums, the clutter is too much. I've been the admin of a number of forums and still handle one, and I resist adding forums as they just make it harder to navigate the site. They always seem to just take up space without pulling their weight.

I'll agree with removing the ASUS forum. :lmao: It's been here for a few years, not exactly a busy place!

Asus sub forum is here only because a place was needed for @MoKiChU to provide up-to-date drivers and software for Asus boards.

If someone wants to do the same, at the same level, for MSI, etc ...

No from me

Otherwise post to the do-iit-yourself and motherboards forum.
