The idea is to merge ldc threads into Core.  You could use a 
[LDC] label in the topic to differentiate ldc-specific posts, and 
since there's not much traffic in the dedicated ldc forum, it 
wouldn't add too much to Core.  It might even give ldc greater 
visibility by the core team.

I think gdc should do the same, but they have some automated bot 
that cross-posts comments from their bugzilla, so they may want 
to keep their own forum if they want to keep doing that.
