Many of the links on the forums are dead. Riders of Rohan, global service etc were de-activated when the forums pertaining to them were no longer required. There are many, many posts on these forums about the lack of support given to the forums and the problems of being logged out constantly, slow loading, I could go on.

What you see is the same as everyone else, the only forum you will ever be excluded from is the Bullroarer test server where all the beta's take place unless you are actually in a closed beta.

We have been promised new forum software later this year, the outcome of which may be interesting.
