Honstly how could a forum really last if they were paying .25 cents a post. The only way I could see them able to do this would be limit the posts to two a day and only in certain sections. And than they would have to have a high payout like $20 or higher to make sure thye could make enough to pay there posters. But like you said drowned the forum is no longer paying. Just could tell that was gonna happen.
