What's "child forums"? Is this the forum otherwise known as the "Lounge"?

It means subforums, like the Political Lounge is a child forum of the Lounge.

I guess so. I am hoping this wasn't more condescending class system silliness.

Yeah I read through the thread. I guess that was too dry for Fridays.

We have not bothered with fixing or altering every single word that came with vBulletin. The term "child forum" is indeed the same thing as a subforum. Technically, it is correct, and I really think that anyone would have to work very hard at it to take offense at a database term.

On the search form, where you can select which forums you want to search, it includes a checkbox as pictured above so that you can choose a forum and have its subforums included in the results.

Child forums are those we have set aside as safe for children. They are limited to PG-13 material.
If you believe the above, I have a bridge investment available...
I have not visited the Political Lounge recently, but I have confidence that everyone is respecting this with their posts.
