Okay... in a broad sense, yes, anything that gets posted on the forums sort of "becomes property" of the "web site owners" but technically, that's not 100% the case. The Red Dragon Inn (and/or it's staff, administration, owners) have absolutely NO intention of hijacking any intellectual property, story snippets, etc from any of it's Innmates. The blurb in the TOS that's got Flanker all up in twitchy-town is there to primarily protect the Inn (and/or its owners) from any sort of legal drama where actual copyrights and what not are concerned, not to "steal ideas" from it's members or anything like that.
Technically, the posts you all tack up here become property of the Inn (inasmuch as
some posts may need to be edited or deleted for one reason or another) and, if you happen to contribute anything to the Audalis Campaign setting that, at some point in the future, actually becomes part of that setting, it will likely become "property" of the Inn wholesale (because the Inn was, after all, originally created to be a "home" for our beloved Audalis). Your games, your posts, your characters, etc, are still
all yours, gang... I'm pretty sure this is addressed elsewhere on the forums... I know I've seen it discussed more than once hereabouts, anyway...
Post away folks... I promise, none of the characters that show up here will end up in any of the Big Budget Summer Blockbusters that
I'm working on.
