...so maybe someone at GOG can make them stop being wrong.

The following are the ones in my library that just link to this forum:

Earth 2150 - Escape from the Blue Planet
Earth 2150 - The Moon Project
Earth 2150 - Lost Souls
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Edition, The
Elder Scrolls: Arena, The
Elder Scrolls: Chapter II - Daggerfall, The
Shadwen Demo

...but I know there's got to be quite a few more, most probably among the various "unbundled" titles.
Let's see here...
American McGee's Grimm
American Conquest
American Conquest: Fight Back
An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire
Avernum
Avernum 2
Avernum 3
Avernum 5
Avernum 6
(Just to note, I did not forget Avernum 4 and Escape From the Pit, they are correct)
Battle Isle
Battle Isle 2
Battle Isle 3
Beyond Zork: The Coconut of Quendor
...and that's the first page of 11 in my library, I think I'll let someone else go through everything beyond Be*
Anyone find or notice any others?
Shouldn't this be possible with MaGog?
Presumably the wrong link always points to General Discussion so you'd just need to search for a list of games whose forum is General Discussion.

Then tell Judas as he has been known to fix these things in the past.

mrkgnao might have info on which ones have incorrect links, but he chose to present product packages (like those in GOG's store catalog) in MaGog's catalog, with no individual game entries. He seems to have manually corrected any wrong forum links as part of his "rebundling" process (which makes sense, since he was trying to improve on what GOG had done), so MaGog itself is useless in this endeavor.
EDIT: Minor correction

Here's a full list of the ids that have the general forum section linked instead of something more specific. I've also created a shorter version, as I've included the payload data as well in the first and it is rather bulky and hard to read... unless you're using an optimized editor.

You'll have to excuse the quality of the data extract, but I didn't have the time to do much filtering except to answer the issue at hand. Expect lots of obsolete/test product entries to show up. Also most entry data is from 2-3 weeks ago, so if anything was corrected in the meantime (which I think is unlikely) I do apologize, but bear in mind that I'm a GOG astronomer of sorts - as a constant remap of the API space is not something I can do, the things I look at on the GOG sky are images of what those things were in the past.

To be honest I don't think GOG needs any data extracts from our end, since it would be rather easy for them to query their own product database and find any discrepancies... or one would think so. It's just not at the top of their priority list at the moment I guess... and possibly won't be in the next decade.

Thanks :)

Now we just need to ping Judas to fix them :)

Thank you. :)
Had a quick look through the short version -- there is, indeed, a ton of test/garbage entries and entries for unreleased stuff.

I can, if you haven't already.

Judas has now been pinged. :)
Kinda reminds me of YouTube videos that do not contain within them at any point, the image you saw in the listing that drew you too it - OMG i hate that!

Thanks again for your help, guys!

So, is this problem largely solved? I just checked for the first time in many months, and the only game from my list in the first post (or, indeed, of any of the ones I've added to my library since early 2017) that still links to General is the old Shadwen demo. Can anyone else say if any others that previously had this problem are fixed? Any newer releases that also have this issue? (I know the Jill of the Jungle package doesn't even HAVE a forum currently.)
