 * Hello. I noticed that in `../includes/bbpress.php:28`, you are using a deprecated
   function `bbp_get_topic_subscribers`. Firstly, I suggest you change that to `
   bbp_get_topic_engagements`. This will automatically solve another problem I had,
   which is that if a user does not explicitly subscribe to a thread, even if they
   have replied to it, they do not receive a notification.
 * I am scratching my head a bit here because there should be a way for a user to
   unsubscribe from a threat, and obviously, if they are automatically subscribed
   using the suggested function above, there will be no way of unsubscribing them.
 * In that case, maybe it is better to automatically subscribe a user to a thread(
   and maybe add that as an option in the admin dashboard), then a user can unsubscribe
   if they want to – in which case they will no longer receive notifications. Either
   way, we will still have to find another function, apart from `bbp_get_topic_subscribers`,
   because that one is deprecated as mentioned before.
 * Thank you. Great work.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for letting me know. I’ll update that function soon.
    I’m not too sure
   about notifying users about replies in topics they’re not subscribed to, I may
   add a way to save users who have actively unsubscribed, preferably using the 
   same bbPress unsubscribe button for email notifications.
 * Thank you and and let me know if you have any other suggestions.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve added an option to notify any user who replied in a topic, even if not subscribed.
   
   So people can opt out, I suggest adding some form and saving user preference 
   as a user meta field. I’ve added this hook ‘wnbell_bbpress_receivers’ so you 
   can add code to loop through users and only notify users who didn’t opt out.
