Getters aren't for everything. But for a basic CRUD case like above, they're a nice way of having a clean OOP contract by demarcating a clear difference between properties, which are pieces data attached to the object that the caller can read and write, and methods, which are the caller can change the object's or app's state, or perform actions with possible side-effects. Very often for a typical CRUD app, I as the caller don't really care how we got the `LastForumsPost`. It's just an object mapping that comes from some data source like the database. And if I do care, I could get it outside of the object, and set it myself.
