ou've said just about everything that can be said.

Everything else would likely just be unsubstantiated opinion and conjecture, and potentially defamatory, so goes against the rules of the forum.
But considering on the now deleted thread someone had a car on SOR and was trying to determine who the administrators were it might be useful to allow some form of discussion, also can you defame a defunct entity?

In fact if the company has ceased to exist then the serious harm cannot exist ergo they cannot be defamed?

A statement is not defamatory unless its publication has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of the claimant.

Harm to the reputation of a body that trades for profit is not “serious harm” unless it has caused or is likely to cause the body serious financial loss.
