I received a response from one of the moderators, and I'm grateful for that. The main reason they have not yet received their own section is that the moderators are not sure that this work is "mainstream" enough to represent the interests of the members. Because members collect primarily Bowen, Sideshow, DC, Gentle Giant, etc., this is the focus of the "professionals" section. If people want the focus to expand, they will need to make that clear.

What are we meant to do to prove we would like to see a dedicated section for these artists?
Should we persistently harass the mods by PMing them on a daily basis?

Maybe pm's to the mods with strong arguments in support of a space for the Bobbys is the way to go. I've sent my pm to Galactus requesting the space.
As I explained, I think the lifesize pieces and custom work is the way this hobby is going. Given the volume of mass produced pieces in the market, many collectors will be turning to the work of artists like Bobby C and Bobb D to get them unique works of art. Not to mention, I'm dying to see progress shots of their work on an ongoing basis. Mike Hill has turned up the heat on the "professionals" section. No doubt these guys would enhance the section significantly.
If anyone has other strong arguments in favour of these artists being represented, they should articulate them, or pm the mods with their position. I think, at this point, the mods are on the fence about it.

I don't see what the problem is. All that has to be done is creating a thread for them, why is that so difficult?

You're asking the wrong guy. I don't really understand it myself. I thought a vote or a thread would demonstrate a genuine member interest. I think the boys (Bobby C and Bobby D) have been posting on the forum for some time now (clearly members of the community). It's a bit like the Academy Awards. Sometimes the ones who truly deserve it just don't get the award.
