Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Originally, the reason filters were removed from 'the_content' when they
 were, is because some functions in bbPress were using the 'the_content'
 filter in a way where it was possible to accidentally nest them. This is
 still currently possible with bbPress's shortcodes, which is why the
 output buffer start and end methods
 [http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/common/shortcodes.php#L139
 conveniently remove and add] bbp_replace_the_content() from 'the_content'
 before putting out content to the output buffer.

 Since we're not using 'the_content' anywhere else in BuddyPress at the
 moment, it's possible we can dial this into more narrow actions. I'd like
 to shy away from create_function() though, since I suspect we'll need to
 add more logic to these new functions over time.

 A few things to consider here:

 * Are there any issues with 5021.02.patch and loop_end and loop_start
 firing on all query loops?
 * Does this accidentally trigger those actions on sidebars, etc?
 * Are we accidentally running content through the 'the_content' filter
 twice? Or, are we skipping it on accident now?
