They were very intentional about that. Does LO even have a separate forum?

THe OOoForum has been plagued with spammers since the forum itself has 
not been maintained so spammers can access it at will. It seems that the 
spammers have hit it hard enough that it is always slow. When I connect 
I feel that I can be sure that I will see hundreds (or more) new spam 
messages since my last visit and not much else.

I visited one of the forum topics today and the first 4000 posts on that 
topic were spam. There are so many that it is not feasible to control it 
without some level of automation. I gave up trying to keep up with the 
spam and disabling accounts because I just do not have sufficient time.
The official AOO Forum, however, is well maintained and usable.
