Sometimes I wonder why someone gets paid forum posting to boost their forum. My values have always told me to get any name/fame genuinely, that is on your own hard work. While I understand that its initially very difficult to get people onto an empty forum, is this the only reason?

I also feel, people who are paid to post, don't put their heart in their work. Hence the result is a forum with many half-hearted posts. Of course, I do forum posting too, but I put all my heart n soul in whatever work I do.

Anyways, my opinions on this subject have been changing. Who knows I might start a forum and ask for paid forum posting.

It's obvious that starting a new forum isn't easy. You have to put much work (tweaking, moderating, etc) and time in order for a moving community. Paying for someone to make posts is just a good way to give a head start on the forums. It's also very important to stable your forum fast so you don't spend more money in the future. I find paid forum posts to be effective, and affordable. You just have to make sure the posts made are not useless irrelevant junk.
