Arch Linux is a community-supported OS, and the bbs is appropriate as a support URL. > Personally I don't use the forums very often, but do make use > of the mailing lists and the *really* great wiki much more heavily. > Furthermore there are the various IRC channels, which probably are used > by some of you. > > Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be some sort of a landing page, > summarizing all the different ways you can ask/look for help, e.g. > something like "https://www.archlinux.org/support/";.

As always, you can send a patch against https://projects.archlinux.org/archweb.git/ to include that landing page or submit a bug to the "Web Sites" category via https://bugs.archlinux.org/newtask/proj1.
