GDPR doesn't include a blanket right to delete your data.
And forums already had to protect against eg people under 13 registering, or people under 18 sharing nudes. Both of those pose significant risk to online services, but people cope.

Forums only had to have a checkbox or user agreement saying "you must be over 13", and are protected from liability for users posting illegal content in the US by section 230 of the CDA.
