Wikia does not provide central policy on this subject; I would personally recommend preserving the old forum or talk page content as an archive, e.g. in a subpage by moving the obsolete page to the appropriate title. For instance, 'User talk:OhgodIhaveabunchofmessages' would be moved to 'User talk:OhgodIhaveabunchofmessages/Archive One', and then the user would remove the redirect from their user talk, thus allowing continued use.

By making such content still accessible as records, it can be useful in handling disputes or digging up useful information.
