The stickies aren't always kept up to date, and they don't answer questions comparing specific models. One user might have experience with a specific platform they could share. However, one could also argue that these types of posts should appear in the appropriate forum, AEGs, Shotguns, Long Rifles, etc. That's what those forums are for, gear discussion. Should I get this AEG, or that AEG? That's Gear Discussion.
How would it be any less annoying if it were on a separate forum? The little red flag will still be there to show you there's new posts in that forum. They'll still show in "posts since your last visit."
Might be something to consider later on, but generally those types of discussions should actually happen in the categories already on the forum like AEGs/Electrics, Bolt Action, Shotguns and Launchers, etc. When I have a question about a specific product, I post it in one of those categories.
