Just found an earlier thread which hits on a similar problem with shortening the bbPress URL:

nicer slug url rewrite plugin (done!)

In the thread’s example. In shows you how to shorten a url like:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/forum/pets-discussions/topic/my-sweet-dog

to:

http://www.example.com/bbpress/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog

Now, if it could also be shortened to:

http://www.example.com/pets-discussions/my-sweet-dog

That would be even better.
