Use the route filters function: https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/route-filters/

haha. i always wanted smaller urls. i never thought of exploring this feature.

what happens if i remove a route filter... would the new urls become dead? or redirect automatically?

They would become dead, but then you can either use server side redirects to fix them, or some magic with extra route-filters which is actually mentioned in the docs:

If you wish to create a route filter that is uni-directional, you can select the Incoming URL conversion only option. This effectively allows you to redirect an old route to a new route without changing the value of the new route. If this is selected, any user visiting a route that matches the replace value will be redirected to the find value automatically.
