It makes no odds and GDPR is very clear on this and it makes sense. The data controller has to control how all data is looked after.
This stems from the huge number of companies that ask for every bit of info they can when you buy some insignificant item then keep your info for years on end sending you emails once a year. But when quizzed as to why they do it they turnaround and say "you always had the option to remove your data, on page ## sub section ###. "
This removes that situation, forums are not the target of GDPR but do fall into the catchment as they hold data.
