A quick history of these forums as I remember it. There was a BSDforums or maybe FreeBSDforums, but whatever it was called, it was primarily FreeBSD. It was privately owned, and the owner became quite ill. The forums started getting tons of spam, and by that time, there were only a couple of moderators left, and they more or less gave up. (This is my memory, lots of it could be wrong). A couple of people looked into buying it from him, out of affection for FreeBSD, not profit, and talks were started but the guy disappeared, and didn't answer any attempts at communication.
At that point, a gentleman named Martin started daemonforums.org. It was meant to replace the defunct (or maybe just spammed to death) freebsdforums.com (I think, but I really don't remember what it was called), and it began attracting the people who had been using the old, privately owned forum. Then, I don't remember how long afterwards, these forums came into being and if I remember correctly, they were official from the start. So, people who had been posting about FreeBSD on daemonforums, gradually moved here, and daemonforums became mostly, (though not exclusively) for OpenBSD.
So, these forums were official, whatever that means, from the start, and grew out of the fact that a good forum, the former bsdforums.com, had its owner more or less abandon it. This is all from my memory and I may have some specifics wrong, but that is generally how these forums came into being, supported by FreeBSD.org
It's easy to reproduce but likely not something noticed unless you're looking for it (I doubt anyone looks at FPS on browser 4K@60Hz vids (less-so on FreeBSD) and it looks relatively smooth even with the FPS issue/unsuspecting)
