Comment (by r-a-y):

 > I'd like to see us build our own theme-side AJAX handler, without the
 cruft of using admin-ajax.php, which sets WP_ADMIN and calls 'admin_init'
 also.

 Did this recently for an upcoming plugin.

 However, unlike `bbp_do_ajax()`, I use an external file and not hooked to
 `'template_redirect'`.

 Here's a gist to look at:
