Any comments in your forum are anonymised through a nick.
If someone wants to you to delete all personal data: you delete the profile with the email address. All comments under the pseudonym can stay.
(At least that is what our lawyer told us at my office...)

IP is any case logged on webserver in logfiles, something you cannot switch off. I do not know if the software I use is compliant (or can be made compliant), in best case it could be done by changing preferences but there I am not sure. Older systems (no longer supported) certainly have a problem now. Regarding what lawyer tell... nobody knows exactly until there are decided court cases because the rules are not precise in many cases.
