I'm very much not a lawyer, but I believe that bit allows them to put your posts and whatever on the site. For a forum to work, they have to make copies and publish your work. Without that licence, they couldn't.
Very similar wording appears in the T&C of many web sites that have user-contribution like this.

I have what I think is a similar problem: even with friends that I have known for years, I still ask myself why they could possibly want to have anything to do with me, and can't find an answer.
I usually won't approach people, because I'm convinced that I have nothing to offer them and don't want to face any kind of rejection.
CBT might help. It's good for breaking down those deeply held mistaken views that we have of the world and our place in it. And this view is mistaken - I have evidence that some people actually enjoy my company. I'm sure the same is true for you.
There is certainly nothing wrong with wanting to make friends. There isn't even anything wrong with being shy. And I suspect even the most outgoing people have their quiet days, when they just want to shut the world out for a while.
Look at the people you know. Do other people think things of them that they should worry about? What do they have that you don't? I'll tell you the answer: nothing. There will be a few things, since we're all different, but if you're honest you'll find plenty of likable characteristics in them that you have yourself.
You will sometimes do things that other people don't like. You'll be wrong, you'll look a fool. Everyone does. The important thing to realise is that this isn't bad. It's OK to get things wrong sometimes. Don't let it make you forget all the times you get things right.
I realise this post is more about me than about you. That's because I know me a lot better. Still, I hope there's something in there that helps.

Mine usually come from books. If I come across something I like in a book that I'm reading, I'll change my signature.
The current one was from a partly-overheard conversation. I just wish I knew what they were talking about.
I read many signatures, and there are some that I quite like. They're usually an interesting thought expressed in an interesting way, and say something about the poster. Length, colours, and pictures usually put me off. And I think I'm sufficiently out that I don't even notice that the in-jokes are in-jokes.

i wish i knew how to make it myself!!!!
It's quite easy. You'll need some seaweed, sushi rice, rice wine vinegar, and mirin, all of which can be found in the 'strange foreign food' section of larger supermarkets. You also need a bamboo mat to roll it, which you'll need an Oriental supermarket for. And of course whatever bits you want to put in it. You can get creative there. And a good sharp knife.
The packet the seaweed comes in has all the instructions. Cook the rice, add the mirin and vinegar, stick it on the seaweed along with the fillings, roll, cut, eat.
It's a bit messy the first time, if, like me, you put too much rice in. But it still tastes good.
Yum.

I love the ESC. Am I the only person who watches it without the aid of alcohol, and wishes Wogan would shut up?
As for the UK ever winning it again: I have a cunning two-step plan. Part A is optional.
A. Start acting like we're a member of the EU.
B. Enter a song that isn't shite.

i say this as even local non sensational papers get "facts" wrong.
Even the BBC has been known to put words into mouths that in fact never said them. Here's a trivial example: . You can't even rely on quotes. They're often not word-for-word, and sometimes invented.
Without knowing who fed the story to the paper, what spin they wanted put on it, what everyone involved really said, thinks, and did, I don't think there's nearly enough information to pass judgement.
You don't read a newspaper to find out what's happening in the world. You read it to find out what someone wants you to think is happening. You choose the paper that presents the version of reality that you want to see.

Hello Sugar! I remember you 
Could you pop me down on the reserve list, and I'll get my highly trained team of assassins to work on the five ahead of me.
(Just in case the police are reading: No, I don't really have a highly trained team of assassins. If anything happens, it wasn't my fault)

Who knows, in another millenia we may have integrated various Arabic phrases and words?
Words like alcohol, sequin, lemon, coffee, or gerbil?
OK, those ones probably came into English along with the items being traded. But it is true that if you have two language communities in close contact for long enough, words will be permanently 'borrowed'. A huge amount of current English came from French after the Norman conquest.
A too quick search doesn't bring up any references, but I do remember hearing about blends between English and various Indian languages used as slang in parts of London. Some of it is bound to stick and spread.
It's a natural part of how languages evolve, and doesn't in itself say anything either positive or negative about anything else.

The female obsession with shoes is very easy to understand, once you know the cause.
It's a neurological disorder caused by chromosomal deficiency. This results in a progressive (and sadly irreversible) dementia. They simply forget that they've got three thousand pairs in the wardrobe already, and when confronted with a new pair think "Ooh, I need some shoes!".
This explains the phone calls and nagging as well. The poor dears simply don't remember what information they've already communicated, and must repeat the same things over and over.
It's the only possible explanation.

I wouldn't put it in an ad (if I had an ad) because I'm not the one who should be deciding if I'm good at it or not.
But it is true that men enjoy it. Some men, anyway. I'm sure there are twice as many reasons as there men. There usually are with these things.
For me, it's partly the pleasure of giving pleasure. With my penis at a safe distance, all of my concentration ends up in one place. Then there's the feeling of control, reading her reactions, deciding when to tease and when to surprise.
And don't forget that it looks nice, feels nice, and tastes nice.
But if the woman doesn't enjoy it, well, we're not exactly short of other good things to do. There's no point carrying on with something if you're not both enjoying it.

Shared secrets? I wouldn't go as far as saying that secrets define us as individuals, but shared secrets definitely help bind a group together. So do shared ideals, shared experiences...
Anything that provides some common identity for members of the group, and excludes outsiders.
