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.
