I think you have to have a look at Rails basics. A basic forum would
be something like:

forums has_many categories
categories has_many topics
topics has_many replies

then you have has_many routes like /forums/1/categories/1/topic and in
your routes.rb you would do

map.resources :forums do |forum|
  forum.resources :categories do |cat|
    cat.resources :topics
  end
end

You could add :has_many => :topics but if you need members and/or
collections later its better this way.
