Answer 1

if not mistake:

var list = from forum in Forums.DefaultItIfEmpty()
from post in Posts.DefaultItIfEmpty()
where forum.forum_id == post.forum_id && post.ParentPostID==0
select new 
{
    forum.Title,
    forum.ForumID,  
    LastPostTitle = p.Title,
    LastPostAddedDate = p.AddedDate         
}).OrderBy(o=>o.ForumID)
