If your forum’s server already has IPv6 configured, adding an AAAA record to your forum’s DNS will not impact your forum itself in any way, it will only give your users another way to connect to it.  
If you don’t have IPv6 configured on your server yet, it’s harder to be sure, but users will definitely not be logged out as a result of enabling IPv6.
