T&C cover this and say user still owns post:
USER'S GRANT OF LIMITED LICENSE
By posting or submitting content to this site, you: grant pwnMarketing, Inc. the right to use, reproduce, display, perform, adapt, modify, distribute, have distributed, and promote the content in any form, anywhere and for any purpose; and warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content and that public posting and use of your content by FlopTurnRiver.com or pwnMarketing, Inc. will not infringe or violate the rights of any third party.
I guess "right to use, reproduce, display" means that if you did edit something and remove it FTR would have the right to put it back up.
Pretty sure it's different to a lot of other forums which do take ownership. Here's an example from another forum:
||Ownership of Content Submissions||
All legal content, information or any other form of member submission, that conforms with the site rules/terms of service, immediately becomes exclusive property of xxxx
