How newsfeed?

The newsfeed items are automatically removed by the cron after a certain amount of time, i believe it is 90 days with no activity.  I would not recommend you mess with those in the DB.

 

To add one table that i did not see above, forum and group posts alike are also posted in the forum_post table.
