The first rule of GDPR is you do not talk about GDPR.
The second rule is...

Ye I get that, what I'm wondering is, what's in those topics that would breach that ? Folks names/addresses???

Perhaps people getting fighty?
Threads only get deleted when people can’t help themselves and get abusive, contemptuous or similar.
Thats the way I see it.
Random irritations has gone though 
. I'd become attached to that thread, it was a place to let off steam about life's little annoyances, not the big ones.
BiM has started a new one, don't know what triggered the deletion but whoever kicked off needs a slapped wrist. That thread had become an institution. (okay I am getting a bit melodramatic now)

Do the new GDPR rules mean that you have to delete a persons data if they request it? If so, could it be that someone or more than one person has left the forum/deleted their account and has requested all of their posts are removed? In that case the threads would become almost unreadable as there would be posts missing, and replies quoting those posts, so it's easier to delete them and start again. Possibly.

So, GDPR, an EU Regulation, gets the Article 50 Thread deleted.... oh the irony!

Wow - loads of big long-standing threads gone. What a shame.

That's what I was thinking, basically calling on their 'right to be forgotten'
GM might need to revise T&C so that registering to use means accepting the forum history wont be deleted or developing a system solution to allow them to delete a user in isolation to a thread/s

Is it because people may have ticked the Data opt out box that keeps appearing at the bottom of the page.???
Just read it. A shame as there were some cracking long running threads deleted.
I'm sure they will start up again.

Having read Mike's post, can we assume that Homer's post count has been reduced by 50%?

Why would anyone care about post count or is it like attending forum meets, you're not seen as one of "us" unless you have 40k+ posts :rofl:
seen another serial posters cut in half to, all that hard work gone to waste:rofl:

Not so, but Homer is a special case - genetically incapable of resisting the urge to comment on any topic whatsoever.

And the reason for deleting the Art50 thread is? (forget my question on the phoenix thread as it's more appropriate here)
