 Essentially every post keeps track of it's own forum_id in addition to
 it's topic_id. There is a bug in the orignal design where bbPress only
 updates the forum_id in the topic table and not the post table when an
 entire topic is moved to another forum. This causes internal tracking to
 get out of sync as the topic has one forum_id, but it's child posts have
 another forum_id.

 If I am correct about this being a bbPress bug, not only would it have to
 be fixed but a repair routine would have to be written to go through every
 single topic, loop through every single post per topic, and make sure it's
 assigned the forum_id of it's parent (the topic's forum_id). Otherwise any
 topic that has been moved in the past is technically out of sync.
