I’m updating bbpress.rb to have it deal with attachments (now it inserts a link to the attachment on the original site) and create permalinks for the old URLs. The old format is `/forums/topic/slug’. For anyone who knows how to write an Nginx redirect, it’s pretty simple to redirect that to /t/slug…
