I'm not sure how legal that would be in the UK, is there I way I can remove personal information (e.g., my email address)?

There is no law against it, the forum and its content are owned by a US company and operates on US soil.

You should be able to edit your profile and edit email in the user control panel.

When in Rome I guess then - I subscribe under the conditions of the laws of the country from which the company operates!

The Data Protections Act in the UK would prevent a company from holding in addition to inacurate and/ or incomplete etc. data, information that they do not have an actual need to hold inorder to carry out their business.

You cannot delete accounts. An email address isn't really considered personal information. Really, I don't give two farts about UK laws. :)
