Any reason why Samsung?

Just wondering why we need only a Samsung forum. Any plans for other brands?

One of their reps wondered in one day...

"Mr. Samsung" covered it in his introductory post, citing his increasing presence being noticed by Samsung's upper management, which then decided to strike a deal that gives Cnet advertising revenue and Samsung a broader reach into the community. The hope is others may follow in the future, but I haven't heard of any other 'exclusive forum' propositions yet.

I think this could grow and become a problem...

As more and more companies come to the same idea, you'll see competition. Especially among "fanboys" of certain brands. It really turns into a battle on the forums. Keeping separate forums is an ok idea, but NEVER allow each brand to entice people to their forum.
