Well, "technically" the GDPR applies to any system that has a european who uses it - including those outside of Europe. But your point is valid - are they going to come after you apam, and fine you because your "BBS" has europeans on it and you are not following the law.

I personally dont care too much about it - european or not. If we in Australia had such a thing I dont think I would behave differently.

My response would be, "you have the choice to login or not - you have no rights here (but I'll do my best to respect you, if you do too)."
