Are you confusing .com with .org?

It's a fake site. Official site is qbittorent.org.

By the way, above each entry/entries is a comment to the relevant issue that caused it to be added.

@gwarser Interesting. Recently I've been working in some PRs, where I have been told by other project members to use forum.qbittorrent.com in preference to https://qbforums.shiki.hu/ in documentation links.

That forum exchange is 3 years old. I wonder if it still accurately reflects the state of affairs, and if it does, I wonder if the other project members are not aware of the situation. I'll investigate further, thanks.
