Comment (by thebrandonallen):

 Just to throw this out there. This is one of many deprecation and PHP
 notices that show up with the legacy forums component. A good number of
 them are related to the bbPress 1.x branch. I say we either fix them all
 (which I'll be happy to work on), or leave them as-is. Unless, of course,
 they're bringing upon the wrath of the white screen.

 > Can you confirm that the retired forums still function with this change?
 I recall esc_sql() not being functionally equivalent to
 WPDB::escape_deep().

 They are functionally equivalent, but I haven't tested yet to be sure.
