Isn't the citadel forum against the 'Rules for User Made Mods and Edits of PDS game'?

Paradox has stated that modders should not have an external public forum, but for some reason The Citadel forum is still up and actively running. I'm not here to say that it's bad and you should close that forum or anything. I just want to know why that forum can still exist while the download page of M&T got shutdown. No ill intended, I'm just curious.

This mod and many others are grandfathered as they existed before the rules were codified which I believe was the release of EU4.
As long as the CK2 AGOT mod is an active project it remains grandfathered. A hypothetical CK3 AGOT mod would be considered a new project and thus be subject to all the rules.

That's my understanding of the rules as explained in that thread.
