Redirect for Defunct Forum ID Number?

[jnr]

In the course of reorganizing my forums, I created some new forums, moved various threads to them, and deleted the old forums.

Problem is, I now realize that this of course killed the links to those forums that I had included in a press release that I had previously published.

I see from an old thread on vBulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=158449) that it would be unwise to try to re-number forums (even if I knew how).

Is there any way to redirect requests for the old forums to the new ones?

Thanks for any help.
