Much of BoardGameGeek's value lies in the many (unpaid) contributions from its users in the form of articles, reviews, videos, and images, which together make a comprehensive database. If/when BoardGameGeek does get sold, do those who have contributed to its value have a right to some of the money?
There's some interesting similarities with the case of the Huffington Post media web site being acquired by AOL, and a subsequent lawsuit filed by the bloggers who had contributed to its content and value. Does this parallel what BoardGameGeek users do for BGG?
