If you use cPanel or just CentOS and want to upgrade to lastest version of Mysql or PHP,
Just following these guides
How to upgrade MySQL to latest version
How to install and upgrade PHP 7 for CentOS and Ubuntu
I also just upgrade my PHP to PHP7 and it improved pretty performance for my hosting server and loading speed for web pages on my forum. I would suggest you should have a try to see how it works and how it will help your forums.
Hope that helped!
