Comment:

 The issue lies with bbPress not changing the forum privacy when a
 BuddyPress group's privacy is changed (#BB2599).

 There is a fix in that ticket, but it is not released yet, so you'll have
 to manually patch bbPress or run the latest developmental version of
 bbPress to get the fix.

 For all currently affected forums attached to BuddyPress groups, I believe
 you'll have to manually change the forum privacy and remove the private
 forum-related activity items in BuddyPress.

 > If I set them to private, will the site users be unable to access the
 forums?

 Yes, that should protect the forum from being accessed directly.  However,
 as I noted above, the activity items (if any) that were published during
 the group status change will need to be manually removed.

 > If you can point me to a page with some clear info on this I'd be
 grateful as I wasn't able to find one.

 There isn't one that I am aware of, but I agree that this is an annoying
 issue.

 I'm going to mark this a duplicate of #6198 due to your feedback,
 @terranova23, since you have the exact same problem as listed in that
 ticket.

 Please reply to #6198 if you have any follow-up responses.
