This should probably go into a general Ben thread as it's not about GIB.

I would guesstimate that there are about 0.0001% hands played on BBO with other types of robots than GIB.
That said, it';s perfectly fine to do standalone thread for any type of robot, as long as the poster specifies which kind of robot that was.

When Argine was introduced over a year ago now I made the same suggestion and you wrote:

About 200 posts to the Argine thread have followed since then, documenting tens of bugs (several of them multiple times because there was no specific thread to locate and reopen).
I doubt that Ben will be much different: BBO forum members are curious and stubborn, as the continued bug reports for GiB demonstrate

Thanks for raising. I will take a look at it.

QFP. Possibly the most exciting thing we've heard a BBO robot developer say!

These forums are basically dead. Half the subforums haven't seen a single post in YEARS. If anything, many of the existing subforums need to be combined.

Forums in general are dying, replaced by more "modern" social media, and the BBO forums are no exception.
That doesn't mean we should give up reading or writing in them should we so wish.
Generations of bridge players have learned a lot from this forum, including now obscure subforums and posts made decades ago.
Combining forums or subforums rarely makes sense, it does nothing to save space or make the information easier to navigate (look at the "Dealer and Full Disclosure" forum if you want an example of the needless confusion that can arise).
Structuring information costs nothing and is invaluable for navigation and research.
If/when a subforum no longer has good reason to attract posts then it can be locked if necessary.
