The overloaded use of message_seq, for both forums and threads, to represent
both the next id and the count means that:
- for moderated forums, the message count is inaccurate if any messages
remain unmoderated
- message counts for forums are innaccurate if any messages have been
deleted (including messages that were denied during moderation)
- last message for forums doesn't work properly if the last message is
awaiting moderation

... and probably a few more. The code is messy and could really stand to be
refactored, and a seperate count attribute is probably necessary.
