How to Choose a Category When Posting

We have split up the forum into Categories to help keep everything organized. They are pretty straight-forward. It may be the case where your topic overlaps multiple topics, just do you best to pick one. It may be changed without warning, it’s ok if this happens!

If for whatever reason, you are not interested in a particular topic, you can mute that entire category to block future updates from it.
