Been there done that. Simple legal change was found. Forum is now hosted in the US, with an American "admin". Water tight laws protect all but the actual poster of defamatory material - but the Admin also can't be compelled to provide the identity of a poster.

After an attempt at suing a dozen members of annother forum of which I am a member this change was made.

I believe that the company involved has now dropped legal action against the forum involved.
