   There exists a hot tags page that is set up by default in BBPress that isn't linked to in the default theme, and it's a shame because of the SEO potential.
   Here's I got it working, and how you can too!
   The contents of ROOT/bb-templates/front-page.php:
   
<?php bb_get_header(); ?>

   <?php if ( $forums ) : ?>

   <div id="hottags">
   <h2><?php _e('Hot Tags'); ?></h2>
   <p class="frontpageheatmap"><?php tag_heat_map(); ?>
   </div>

   <div id="discussions">
   <?php if ( $topics || $super_stickies ) : ?>

   <h2><?php _e('Latest Discussions'); ?></h2>

   <table id="latest">
   <tr>
   <th><?php _e('Topic'); ?> — <?php new_topic(); ?></th>
   <th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>
   <th><?php _e('Last Poster'); ?></th>
   <th><?php _e('Freshness'); ?></th>
   </tr>

   <?php if ( $super_stickies ) : foreach ( $super_stickies as $topic ) : ?>
   <tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
   <td><?php _e('Sticky:'); ?> <big>"><?php topic_title(); ?></big></td>
   <td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>
   </tr>
   <?php endforeach; endif; ?>

   <?php if ( $topics ) : foreach ( $topics as $topic ) : ?>
   <tr<?php topic_class(); ?>>
   <td>"><?php topic_title(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><?php topic_posts(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><small><?php topic_time(); ?></small></td>
   </tr>
   <?php endforeach; endif; ?>
   </table>
   <?php endif; ?>

   <h2><?php _e('Forums'); ?></h2>
   <table id="forumlist">

   <tr>
   <th><?php _e('Main Theme'); ?></th>
   <th><?php _e('Topics'); ?></th>
   <th><?php _e('Posts'); ?></th>
   </tr>

   <?php foreach ( $forums as $forum ) : ?>
   <tr<?php alt_class('forum'); ?>>
   <td>"><?php forum_name(); ?> — <small><?php forum_description(); ?></small></td>
   <td class="num"><?php forum_topics(); ?></td>
   <td class="num"><?php forum_posts(); ?></td>
   </tr>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </table>

   <?php if ( $bb_current_user->ID ) : ?>
   <div id="viewdiv">
   <h2><?php _e('Views'); ?></h2>
   <ul id="views">
   <?php foreach ( get_views() as $view => $title ) : ?>
   <li class="view">"><?php view_name(); ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   </div>
   <?php endif; else : // $forums ?>

   <h3 class="bbcrumb">"><?php option('name'); ?></h3>

   <?php post_form(); endif; ?>
   </div>

   <?php bb_get_footer(); ?>


   we need to change line 6:
<h2><?php _e('Hot Tags'); ?></h2>
   to:
   <h2>Hot Tags<h2>
   Of course, you'll need to replace my URL with your own.
   Works a treat!

   In some cases, you will need to do more than just create a simply .htaccess file, and may need to navigate to /bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and copy the output to an .htaccess file.

   For me, the output looked like this:

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^forum/([0-9]+)$ /forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^topic/([0-9]+)$ /topic.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /tags.php?tag=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^tags/(.+)/?$ /tags.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^tags/?$ /tags.php [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)/([a-z]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1&tab=$2&page=$3 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^profile/([0-9]+)$ /profile.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /view.php?view=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^view/([a-z-]+)$ /view.php?view=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^rss/$ /rss.php [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^rss/forum/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?forum=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^rss/topic/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?topic=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^rss/tags/([a-z]+)$ /rss.php?tag=$1 [L,QSA]
   RewriteRule ^rss/profile/([0-9]+)$ /rss.php?profile=$1 [L,QSA]
   </IfModule>

   Hope that helps!
