If you join this forum, you should operate under the assumption that your username and posts are permanent public contributions.
Note: If you're curious about my personal (and quite blunt) opinion on GDPR - here's an article I wrote about what it really means for small websites like this one:
GDPR vs. Common Sense
We collect some or all of this information in the following cases:
This data is anonymized and used solely to understand and improve the forum's functionality and performance.

No, we won't search through all the posts to see if there might be any of your personal stuff published anywhere on the forum. That's your job - if you yourself posted it, or see someone else has posted and it has somehow slipped past the moderators. For any such stuff, contact us with a link to the "problematic" post(s), and we'll see if it's OK to edit or outright delete it (or if your request is utter nonsense). We try to be just and reasonable, but can't promise to delete stuff just because a member thinks it should be deleted.
You also have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. Please contact us if you would like us to remove your personal data. However, deleting your posts, especially if they have replies where your posts have been quoted, is a very tedious undertaking that might even break forum's functioning (flow of conversations for sure). That is why we advise you don't disclose any of your personal information that you don't wish to see disclosed (i.e. think about what you post before you post it). The same goes for your username - pick one you are not (going to be) ashamed of and that doesn't infringe on your privacy.
Again, we can't promise to delete stuff because a forum member requests it to be deleted.

If you do not agree with this, do not register or post.
