As far as I can interpret the the regulations posts are not personal data and even without all of the above issues would not constitute something that would need to be "given" to the user.
My view, and that of many others, is that anything that you post on a board is "in the public domain" and that is where is should stay.
I totally agree with you. I sincerely hope that those who have established and those who will apply the regulation are aware.

According to the GDPR, any data transmitted to a platform by a user must be retrievable for possible retransmission to another platform.
It also seems to me that in a detailed text concerning the GDPR I read that this data should be able to be recovered in cvs format.
I think you mean any
personal data must be retrievable, not any data.
Yes, I was talking about personal data. Sorry for my imprecision.

The ability to "retransmit" the data is another pointless statement. If you have a csv file of your personal data from a phpBB board how would you handle it being transmitted to another phpBB, or any other, board - there is no facility to import a csv file and if you could do it then it would be nonsense.
I had the same interrogation. But in Article 20 concerning "Right to data portability", you can read :
The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided,
I find that completely ridiculous, but it was written by "benevolent" people ...
Taking inspiration from the idea of tas2580 concerning its extension, it could be possible to have an export concerning the so-called "personal data" which would have been
transmitted or collected:
Information of the profile and any information that would have been collected during the user's navigation on the forum and that allows to identify him (like IP address).
Then a second one, listing all the subject links where the user writing something. This would allow him to do some research to see if he has written information that he no longer wishes to leave (Article 17 Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’)).
At first glance, this is not mandatory (for the moment), but it would be a good alternative to the built-in option that lists all the user's messages.
