Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Might I add a slightly tangential question here seeing as matters of copyright are being discussed? I often wonder about the copyright position of contributions to the 'Downs, particularly RPG games - many of us might want to take things we have written and use them elsewhere. Who technically owns these?

I know that in my work, anything I write belongs to HM Government - despite how much effort (or not) I may have put into it. So would posts on the 'Downs effectively belong to the owners of the 'Downs?

If this is in the wrong place, I do apologise, just wanted it to be seen by our resident experts.
