This forum has the same argument on replies. For example my URL for this post after I click submit will be:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/592?replies=2

Only consulation in short run is the URL works fine with yanking the replies part off the URL if you quote a thread somewhere else:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/592

The URL works as a way to show how many posts are in a thread, works as a way for feed readers of RSS to know which post is which, works for others to know as well. Not sure if Devs may have a better way to do this, but thanks for bringing it up!
