i see a problem in the "branding". debianhelp.org is not the intuitive domain i would look for. i would expect a .debian.org address to be the "real" place. cant we point forum.debian.org at debianhelp? it would not need to be in any way "trusted" as far as security is concerned. irc.debian.org is not, either.
