Comment (by sambauers):

 I never considered putting it into taxonomy... I think it would be more
 awkward and possibly more expensive using taxonomy, as it has to be called
 during the forum loops. Having it pulled into the forum object during
 get_forum/get_forums and being part of the cache makes sense to me.

 I think maybe we need to setup a guideline for ourselves which says what
 goes where, taxonomy or meta.

 The differences as far as I can tell are:

 * Taxonomy allows many to many relationships while meta is one to one
 * Meta is appended to the basic objects and cached automatically, while
 taxonomy is not (???)
