I love love forum Ross! I would really like Sub-forums. Is this something you are planning on adding? Erik

Does anybody have suggestions for URL's for nested forums? Right now, URL's are in the form of /forum-base/forum-slug/thread-id/. If we added nested forums, I assume this would become /forum-base/forum-slug/subforum-slug/further-subforum-slug/thread-id/ - which is much harder to match in an urlconf. One option is to allow alpha-only slugs for forums, not numbers. Another is to have forum listings at /forum-base/forum/forum-slug/subforum-slug/ and threads at /forum-base/thread/id/, however I don't like the lack of URL hierarchy here.

Why have the hierarchy in the URL? The result is that moving a thread causes links to it to break, and maybe that moving a sub-forum causes links to all of its threads to break.

Personally, I like the URL-based hierarchy: eg /forum-name/thread/. Your point about moving threads is very valid though. How about using /base/forum-slug/subforum-slug/ for forums & subforums, and /base/thread/99/ for threads? That retains the forum hierarchy but gives threads only one possible URL, even if they're moved.

I just committed a change that moves threads to /base/thread/[id]/ and provides support for subforums. The HTML isn't the cleanest, and it contains duplicate code blocks in thread_list.html and forum_list.html, but we now have sub-forums. When you go into a parent forum, sub-forums are listed below it. I've tested this to four levels (First Forum > Child > Grandchild > Great Grandchild) including posting & replying at each level. Thank you to Erik for the suggestion, and jshaffer2112 for the note about hierarchy in URL's.
