I'm struggling with the forum groupings

3. That page is obsolete and shouldn't be there

It will be removed soon. As for the other groupings, it’s pretty straightforward. Here’s how they are described on the feature list:

• Issue Forums: Debate-style forums where people can discuss various political issues (eg. Economy, Environment, Gun Control, Religion, etc.)

• Culture Forums: Forums for people who are interested in discussing the arts and other typically non-political subjects (eg. History, Science, Photography, Sports, etc.)

• Alliance Forums: Safe-space forums for members of various political or cultural groups and their allies to talk about their issues (eg. Asian Group, LGBT, Jewish Group, etc.)

• Region Forums: Forums for people who are interested in discussing subjects connected by geographic area (eg. all the state forums, U.S. Territories, United Kingdom, etc.)

• Support Forums: Safe-space forums for members who want to give or receive assistance with various personal issues (eg. Addiction & Recovery, Cancer Support, Mental Health Support, etc.)

• Help & Search: Site Announcements, DU Community Help, and General Computer Help can be found here. If you are a Main Forum Host or MIRT member, links to those forums also appear here. This page also contains options for searching DU.

When you visit any of those pages the forums are sorted by most-recently-posted thread, but you can alphabetize them by clicking the Forum Name table header.
