ah, I see what you ae getting at – not sure how this site does it, but you can create a link to a page in your site and put

[bbp-topic-index] in that page – that will show the latest 15 topics

If you want better than that, then

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>shortcode
