@forms.count won't work because @forms will most likely be an Array  
object, and an Array doesn't respond to count... it'll respond to  
size, tho...

@forms.size != 0

or you could do this

unless(@forms.blank?)

None of these will do a db connection because @forms contains objects  
which have already been loaded (if they're from the database).
