I needed to delete a forum but wanted to save the posts in that forum. So I used nodetype.module to change those posts to type=story, and I changed the category of each one from the forum topic to a non-forum category. When I deleted the forum I was warned that all posts in the forum would be deleted, but I expected that the posts would not be deleted since they were presumably no longer associated with that forum. No such luck... All the posts were deleted along with the forum they had formerly belonged to.

This is not a bug in nodetype.module. If a blog belongs to a form is determined by taxonomy terms (A forum is a special kind of vocabulary) and not by its node type.

There's a hint of a workaround in #210728: Converted forumtopic deleted after deleting forum.
