If you want to re-direct your named boards to forum folder this will work for you.
in your named baords root .htaccess file place this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([/]+)$ forum/$1 [L,R=301]

make sure you test the .htaccess re-direction rules thoroughly before making your site live, you can try using this link to test your redirects:

Which is the best way to do it? In each named board or in the root htaccess?
