Yes, that is my plan. What I'm asking is HOW to determine if a forum is a forum? I want to programmatically exclude posts that are not forum posts, but there's no way to tell in the forum table, from what I can see. I don't want to just exclude forum id '3' in the code - hardcode it - I want to be able to determine if an entry in the forum table is actually a forum and not something like a comment thread. I don't want to include/exclude based on the title, because the title can be changed.

The documentation talks about a form "category" - but I don't know how it makes that association. Is there another table for forum categories?
