+The Scala Center operates two Discourse forums:
 
-For now, these Google Groups remain active:
-
- * **[scala-user](http://groups.google.com/group/scala-user)**: The main forum for questions and discussions, including beginner questions, about programming in Scala. Any question can and should receive a courteous and insightful answer.
- * **[scala-announce](http://groups.google.com/group/scala-announce)**: Announcements of new Scala releases, tools, libraries, and other resources.

-Other discussions are now on Discourse, here:
+ * **[users.scala-lang.org](https://users.scala-lang.org)**: The main forum for questions, discussions, and announcements about programming in Scala. Beginner questions are very welcome. Any question can and should receive a courteous and insightful answer.  (Replaces the old scala-user and scala-announce groups.)
 
  * **[contributors.scala-lang.org](https://contributors.scala-lang.org)**: For anything related to moving Scala forward; from Scala Platform library discussions, to Scala Improvement Process discussions, to development work on the Scala compiler, standard library, and modules. Core maintainers and open-source contributors are both welcome, as well as those who want to see what’s coming down the pipe and would like to be involved.  (Replaces the old scala-internals, scala-language, scala-debate, scala-sips, and scala-tools groups.)
 
 Discourse is an open-source forum and mailing list platform. You can participate via the web, or you can use "mailing list mode", where you receive posts in your inbox and can reply to them via email. The web interface provides statistics, upvoting, polls, and other features. Posts can be written in Markdown, including syntax highlighting.
 
-All of these forums and lists are covered by the [Scala Code of Conduct](../conduct.html).
