That might work. You might also be able to create another plugin using hook online_location_preprocess and change $filename (if you can figure out how to know when you're on your homepage). For example, if you set a THIS_SCRIPT value in your home page (maybe with value 'homepage', then use this code on online_location_preprocess:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'homepage')
{
   $filename = 'homepage';
}

Then in the online_location_process plugin use case 'homepage'.

P.S. For the Plugin online_location_process:
switch ($filename)
{
case '../':
Would '../' be correct, or would it need to be './' if I'm trying to evaluate the case of a file outside of my /forums/ directory?

I'm not sure - I'd probably need to set up a test and then print out the value to know for sure. But if the above works, then it won't matter.
