From the forum rules. Doesn't that legally make the HRP 3DRs?

No, it doesn't, for the same reasons that make EULAs unenforceable in court. You can't legally hold someone to the terms of an agreement for which you have no proof (e.g. a signed contract) the person actually agreed to, and it takes a lot more than a sentence on a website to assign copyright. The text you quoted is just there to cover 3DR in the event that somebody posts a game idea they like and end up using, et cetera.
