Does deleting a forum post delete the related bb_meta as well?

   If a plugin writes some bb_post meta in the bb_meta table when a post is made, when deleting a forum post, is the bb_post meta supposed to be deleted as well?

   Or is it the default behaviour to keep any bb_post meta even if the forum post is deleted?

   Since deleted posts are not really deleted, I would guess that the meta stays. I didn't verify that, but that seems to make sense. They're not really deleted, they're just MARKED as deleted (by changing the status.)

   That's a great point Chris!

   Maybe that's why bbPress doesn't have native support for full post deletion... cleaning up the meta data would be a pain!

   Thanks Chris and John for the replies.

   Cleaning up the meta data would be great in a future version of bbPress.

   I didn't verify any of this, just guessing.
