It’s a rights grab so any content you post can be re-sold, licensed or modified without your permission or recompense.

So a huge image archive that is now owned by whoever owns the forum.

The wording of the T&Cs seems to allow at least the possibility that anyone can re-use the content, not just the owner of the forum.

Yeah totally.

Because there's an lfgss app made by someone else, and that's intentional, the site is API first and the UI is implemented as a different layer, and I hoped this would allow a kind of federation, the ability to seed new communities from small but relevant parts of another.

So yes, it is broad and essentially says the content can be used however by whomever.
