           Summary: Remove link to spam-infested Google Groups page from
                    http://www.winehq.org/help
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dimesio at earthlink.net


The Forum section of http://www.winehq.org/help currently includes this
sentence: 

"An alternate way to access our forums is via the Google Groups page at
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine."

This is simply not true; the Google Groups page has nothing to do with our
forum, and never has. While the group may at one time have been a legitimate
site for Wine questions, at present it is almost entirely spam, much of it for
porn. We really should not be directing users to it from our support page.
