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.
