It’s time for forums.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ to cease executing bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org.. This is the final component on WordPress.org running bbPress 1.x that I’m aware of. It’s not PHP8 compatible.
The mobile forums were deactivated a year ago, and the locale forums 7 years ago.

In r20481-dotorg I’ve added a new file, index.php to the forums public_html.

2. Remove all bbPress rewrite rules from wporg-forums.wordpress.org, replacing it with a singular rule that directs all traffic to public_html/index.php
3. Add a DNSDNS DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System - how you assign a human readable address to a website’s exact numeric coded location (ie. wordpress.org uses the actual IP address 198.143.164.252). A/CNAME entry for forums.wordpress.org (Apparently this doesn’t have a DNS entry)
