Since this isn't really relevant to the game, I'm not sure this is the place to ask my question, but here goes:

What are forum numbers 2, 9, and 26 through 28? And what happened to the other forums? If you look at the URL of each forum main page (where the list of thread within each forum is shown), it ends in "forums/#/ShowForum.aspx", where # is the forum number.

 Here are the forums I know:

1= Report forum (where reports for inappropriate posts go for mod review)

2= ? Requires permissions (according to error message when attempting to access)

3= General Discussion

4= Announcements

5= The Halo-Verse

6= Game Suggestions (Mostly deleted; forum posts exist and ratings can be viewed, but content cannot be reached. Cannot create threads)

7-8= ? currently non-existent (according to error message when attempting to access)

9= ? requires permissions

10-25= ? currently non-existent

26-28= ? require permissions (Alpha/Beta testing feedback?)

29= The Library (The Halo-Verse subforum)

30= Single Player Campaign

31= All Things Multiplayer

32= ?  currently non-existent (probably never existed)
