Several of the forum domains appeared to have been hijacked.
Please see
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29478
and bring this to the attention of the sysadmins.

Why do you think those domains have been hijacked? Those domains never belonged to us (Mageia.Org) - if they are expired, then they are sold by the registrar, there's nothing we can do about that.

The forums https://forums.mageia.org page presents those forums as official
Mageia assets. If a forum is not a Mageia asset in my humble opinion it should
not have a link in that location but perhaps on the Community page under a
heading of external forums or some such.

The forum links are clearly listed under "The community" - "Forums of communities supporting Mageia". I can't nowhere find a hint that they are "official Mageia assets".

"If" they would be "official Mageia assets" they would have to follow the Mageia design/artwork guidelines. If you look at the different forums you will see that they all look different. So they are clearly community forums and no offical ones...

It certainly does not show that when I look at the web page!!!

The subforum reads: Supporting communities forums - Forums of communities supporting Mageia...

Where does it say that those are "official" Mageia assets, as you said ?
