    Yes, Technical issues are directed here. Support issues are directed here. Feedback is taken from here. But it is still a social forum. The amount of social content handily outweighs the amount of support content on a post-by-post basis.

    Is this the official support forum? Yes. Does that mean it does not also function as an official social forum? No. It serves as both. This update may only be relevant to the social functions of the forum, but that does not mean it is irrelevant to the forums as a whole.
    The point is it was primarily marketed as a communication conduit between SE and the players--the players have molded it into a more social environment, while it has continued to be presented by SE to be more for a support role than a social one. The forum guidelines are even crafted to keep posts restricted strictly to FFXI related content,and give them the right to remove any and all personal, social, political, religious, etc. content from the threads.
