Copyright disclaimer:
People donating material here may not add further restrictions, such as "oh, you can't use my background because I want it to only be featured in good games." or "You may only use my character if you have already released at least three games I can look at".
If you wish to remove your link, just say so. As long as it's here, anybody is free to use it.
Practically, you don't have traditional copyright, since you can't demand people that have used your character in a game to take it down.
Still, people are urged to include the originator in the credits. Failure to do this may result in their name ending up on a black list.
I don't think a forum post is enough to retain from copyright in the law of all nations. You should agree on "as long as it's not sold".
