This Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) while beneficial for empowering the control/privacy and regulating these miserable personal data gathering and commercialization business practices, due to its depth and complexity is also doing a lot of collateral damage for the nonprofit organizations here in Europe.

The forum was basically dead before, no traffic, old software
So I would put this DSGVO reference under the topic 'a well appreciated excuse' ......
Because there are still very man forums in Europa that work great and GDPR conform without problems.
communicating in a foreign language can be very time and energy consuming
English is the language of the internet anyway and you don't even need to speak it perfectly to feel comfortable in a tech forum. Perhaps the problem is smaller than it looks to you at a first glance? Not to mention that this forum seems to have the official status, so the quality of Slackware answers here are the highest compared to any other online resource.

Would you be able to get help in a Chinese or Arabic forum?

I wouldn't make such an assumption. This is just a forum that Patrick Volkerding visits regularly, as well as most Slackware users. No one systematically checks the quality of answers as far as I know, and having posted and answered a lot here, I can say that the quality depends on the person who answers, not on the forum.
