Along with a few friends, I am currently looking at setting up a website and attached forum; don't worry, it's nothing to do with computers (sport, if you must know!) and therefore not a competitor. 
I was wondering if anybody had had any experience of running a forum, and if they know what the legalities are? Based on the little research that I've done, it seems that most of what goes on on forums comes under "freedom of speech", and therefore can't be classed as libellous.
If anyone could shed any light on this I'd really appreciate it
