> So basically you’re saying to use the idea of “Categories” to segregate a forum into subforums (where category is a synonym for topic and a forum would have different topics of discussion).

Hard to say. Your terminology here is quite confusing.

Going back to the Meta example. The top level, [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org), is the “site”, or “forum”. Within Meta there are different “categories”, like support, bug, feature, etc. Within each category are “topics”, like this one we’re interacting in. Each of our replies within this topic are “posts”.

> Is there per chance a way to customize appearance on a per “category” basis in order to give different CSS options for each one?

Yes, you can absolutely customize each categories appearance separately via CSS. A good example of this is [https://forums.funcom.com](https://forums.funcom.com). They use a different category for each of their games. Notice the different appearance of the [Conan Exiles](https://forums.funcom.com/c/conan-exiles) category than the [Secret World Legends](https://forums.funcom.com/c/secret-world-legends) category.
