Comment (by fel64):

 You could probably make quite a neat bb_meta table to take care of all
 metadata. Columns ''meta_id, object_type, object_id, meta_key,
 meta_value''. object_type would be 'topic', 'forum' or 'post' or anything
 really, object_id would be the topic_id or forum_id or post_id (enabling
 per-post flags), the rest used just as they are now. Queries could easily
 select meta for anything, and it would end this inelegant use of topic_id
 0 as options because you could have an object-type 'option', too (and the
 object_id would be disregarded in that case). The only thing that this
 table couldn't meta is users, since that would break integration with WP.
