MOCpages is not like Lugnet or Amazon. It involves creative works potentially
of significantly greater effort than a user of Lugnet would contribute there,
or a reviewer on Amazon would contribute there, and it includes graphical
content. In short, it's a medium of content creation and not simply a medium of
communication, and the user-supplied content is potentially of considerably
greater worth.
Of particular concern is the third-party clause. As written, your TOC gives you
the right to, for example, publish a "100 Cool LEGO Projects" book, or
grant/sell permission to another party to do so, and allows you to alter the
presentation of those projects, without consent or compensation. Also, and this
is the big problem that I have, most print publishers do not accept submissions
that were previously published, so even a magazine spread featuring something I
posted to MOCpages might prevent me from publishing it myself.

I'd consider the other clauses of your TOC to make this addition essentially
wothless.
Don't get me wrong. I think MOCpages is really cool. It has a ton of features
and is nearly bug-free right from the start. Good work.
