Should there now be a separate forum for video enthusiasts?

This is a photography forum for photography gear. For video a video camera is going to be a lot more useful with quiet lenses and better zoom. These large high mega pixel sensors are not really optimum for video.
Also this is not just a NX forum and the thought of it filling with 4K fans talking moaning that a camera does not have codec 42.5.6.8.92.3.93 and 70 fps, or the lack of a microphone jack or stabiliser and of course lens noise does fill me with dread. If Samsung put in 5 axis stabilisation that will cause problems with people who think these are video recorders.
I realise there are a group of people to whom photography now is just just taking 5 minutes of 4K video on the random chance they have a 8 mp frame in it that is a keeper but that is depressing also.
Um, you do realize if you own a NX1, your "photography gear" is a video camera. And a pretty damn good one at that. I use mine professionally for both stills and video. I do like the "buy a video camera" curmudgeon posts, they have a nice, cranky "get off my lawn" feel to them.
If video isn't your thing, why not just ignore the threads instead of advocating a forum personalized toward your specific interests? Its really not that difficult to simply scroll past a video thread without clicking. Try it.
There are already 30 forums for the various cameras, splitting them by stills and video would make an already bloated site even larger. If m43 can't even get a Panasonic/Olympus split, the far less active Samsung forum will remain unified, sorry to burst your grumpy bubble.
Why is it grumpy just to have another view to your own? As Allan, the moderator, alluded it might be possible to have a general video forum rather than Samsung specific.

I am confused - there is already a general video forum - "Digital Video Talk" - here. It is not camera specific.
