…it does keep the paging intact but counts for all the forums (fora?), even the excluded one(s).

To get round this requires amending the function bb_latest_topics_pages() in functions.bb-template.php.

$bb_latest_topics_count = $bbdb->get_var('SELECT COUNT('topic_id') FROM '' . $bbdb->topics . '' WHERE 'topic_open' = 1 AND 'topic_status' = 0 AND 'topic_sticky' != 2 AND 'forum_id' != 3;');

//  AND 'forum_id' != 3 - filters out forum 3 on front page paging count.
