Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 See: `bbp_trash_topic_replies()` and `bbp_untrash_topic_replies()`

 When a Topic has some action taken on it, some other action needs to run
 on the children Replies.

 Unfortunately, you cannot simply blindly take action on all of them,
 because some of them may already be trashed, and you don't want untrashing
 something to accidentally bring things back from the dead.

 See the `_bbp_pre_trashed_replies` Topic meta key, as an example of this
 juggle. It makes sure that when a Topic is untrashed, that previously
 trashed Replies do not suddenly also become untrashed.

 (The same happens when marking a Topic as Spam.)

 My recommendation is to mirror this behavior for Topic Archives, and mark
 the replies as `archived` as well. This may require a bit of finesse,
 since Topics generally expect their replies to either be "public" or "non-
 public" by default, and Archived kinda walks the line.
