Because nothing has been achieved yet deserving of its own forum. Forums are granted to devices when there is so much going on with them that there's too many individual threads scattered about the place that it behooves the people that organize XDA to contain them all in one place.For example, one of my phones, the Samsung Galaxy Light. This phone has a "how do I root" thread, a discussion/development thread (with accompanying Q&A Bot thread), a couple different modified stock ROM threads, a TWRP development thread, and a CyangemMod porting thread (and accompanying Q&A thread). That's like 9 different threads, give or take, plus several more asking specific questions. All scattered throughout the place, but it apparently it's not enough yet to warrant its own subforum. There are many other devices in the same boat.At this point, all the ZMAX has is discussion. No root, no recovery, no ROMs. Everything there is to talk about with this device is easily contained within a single thread. Turning OP control over to someone willing to maintain it is something I should have thought up a while ago.Realize also that new forums need moderators to monitor and micromanage them. So if you ask "well, why not just make a new forum?", that's a big reason why not. The forum software can handle it. It'd reduce confusion and clutter. But someone has to herd the cats.
