MyBB gives you the option to export and erase personal data. I suggest you to educate yourself before educating others.

MyBB should include the ability to delete your own account - which was the question I was responding to. I run a MyBB forum and often have to respond to requests for full account deletion - that function should be built in, along with a GDPR compliance statement for both users and admins. MyBB should be proactive about compliance with legal standards... the disucssion for which began 2 years ago, and like v1.9 is still not available:
