And I would think that the forums themselves could provide evidence of premeditation.

It's not homicide nor manslaughter neither, and has no concept of "premeditation" at all. It's was a 10 page years old thread on an obscure gossip website.
He was not doxxed (no one even knew his name), did not have threats posted there... I fail to see how it can even closely be related to "murder".
It’s usually, when criminally charged, been charged as a lesser degree of homicide (typically some form of manslaughter), but that's because its hard in that kind of case to prove premeditation, as the causation element is the same between murder and manslaughter.
If there is actual premeditation, it fits within the definition of murder.
