You can keep people in your site by allowing some people to benefit your site freely ,and try to rewards people with benefits without compusary payment.
What about if the contents are the same like you have said but the pay is higher, would you still choose to leave or would you stay to work on the site?.Well, in order for a user to stay on your site / forum, you need quality content. for example, when I choose a new forum, I will not stay on one that has the same categories and posts as other 2,000,000 forums on the internet. you have to come up with something new, original ... a new theme, a new category, etc.

Hahaha I like your honesty, you are right though, our primary reasons for being on these forums is to make money before we think of interacting or learning.no, I would work on that forum as well. anyone I think would do that ... same content but higher pay. after all, we're all after that. whatever other users tell me, I'm sure they don't just sit on the forum just interacting with other users or reading articles. they like the idea of being paid for this work and that's why they are so active. and of course if another forum appears where it pays better, they go there too
