Depends on the site you post on. Technically you should own your own material, be it writing or photos. However, some site will take copyright ownership if you agree to their terms of service.
The quote you list above would tend to indicate that the user retains his/her rights over the material posted.
BTW, I think everything posted on Y!A is owned by Y!A.

Each website is different it is important to read their terms of service agreement, typically though most sites will state in the TOS that you will be giving them the copyright on any material you upload onto their website, an example of a TOS is below:

nicely, counting on what version of the bible you relatively adhere to, some publishers could have copyright, yet customary use King James Bible, as written over 1500 years via as much as and probably greater suitable than 40 distinctive authors, is unquestionably public area. maximum variations stands out as the comparable, so I doubt this could be a concern. SOPA is evil for greater than a number of motives, that don't relate to this question, which relate greater to training, and the expansion of unfastened theory and suggestions, which technically will harm athiests and agnosticism in a spiritual context.

You own the copyright. No matter where its hosted or published, you retain ownership of any poblication or image you upload.
If you want any type of recourse should your publication or image used elsewhere (for profit) without your permission, then you need to register your work and apply for a copyright.

It means, if you take any of the data or copy it you could face criminal charges.
It's called electronic data theft.
