Thanks for the answer. So, we should then go with the blurb without the 
"and can be found by searching online" part.

Here it is:

"You can get support for LibreOffice from various independent forums run 
by LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org users and supporters. These forums are 
mature and heavily trafficked and offer quality support to LibreOffice. 
LibreOffice does not offer an official forums board at this time. An 
official forums board is still under consideration."

I'll post this blurb on the website list and ask that the "Forums" 
section be updated to this new blurb.

Cheers

Marc
