@glitterbag,
It's the confusion about the use of the word forum on a2k that has people going.
Look at the top of the page/dark blue, and click on forums.
Back in the early days we had some (I'll guess 15, but I'm making that up, basically not very many.) Then, in 2008, we changed to the tagging system. All of the tags are considered forums.
You and others are using the word as the equivalent of the word 'site', which is not how it is used here, ah, since 2008.
To check this out, put a tag word (for example, baseball) into the space at the right of New Posts that is titled
Search Forums. You'll find your tag is a forum.
