A simple forum application written using Rails 3 Seth Holloway (www.sethholloway.com)
This example differs from the Rails3-Forums-Without-Nesting project by using extra routes. This application has forums/id/topics/id and topics/id, while the 'without-nesting' example had only forums/id/topics/id.
This forum application contains forums, conversations, and comments. Forums are high-level topics; conversations are threads within a specific forum and comments create the conversation.
