It would help take some clutter away from Tech Support. It could be a subforum actually located withing Tech Support (like I've seen in some other forums) or listed on the main page with the other forums.

That might actually be a good idea.

Actually, I would suggest titling it "Boot or No Boot?" and put it into a gameshow format.

Seriously though, have you asked the regular mods in that forum? If they'd be fine with it I don't see why not.

Well, it should be possible to create a sub-forum within tech so that each question wouldn't just cloud up a single thread, but I'm open to options. Again, I'd like to know JM_Kurtz's opinion as well as others who help mod the tech forums.

I like "Boot or no boot" more than "Boot or not". But call it whatever it needs to be called.

I'd say to make it a subforum of Tech Support so there's less clutter on the main page. Most people will come into Tech Support for bootleg identification purposes anyway.

Maybe it would be better to just have a dedicated thread, stickied too.
I agree. I don't feel that a subforum is needed. What we do need is a good spam free thread on the subject containing information on common boots and how to spot them. As well as other information on the subject like pictures...etc...etc..

I think that either one would be a good idea and could help many of the members on the forums.

Many people have no idea what to look for when spotting a boot, and others on this board can spot it (with a picture of the boards of course) in a matter of seconds. That's where I think the subforum could be helpful, people post pics of the boards to get a more educated opinion on whether it's a boot or not.

Perhaps the section could be used to spot conversions as well (just thought of that).

Though I have absolutely no expertise in spotting a conversion, it would be appropriate for such a forum.
