Other Webmaster Boards

I love the pay to post boards. The owners seem surprised that they get threads like..."I smoked some "buddah,ganj,mary jane " last night", "First 3 things on your to do list..." and "Who makes the best coffee?". Netpond, being one of the first to pay for posts, seems to have gotten past this nonsense (somewhat)

What I don't understand is why do sponsors advertise on these boards? When obviously the largest percentage of their posters, post there to get paid. And, what does it say about the people that post on these boards? Are they really that hard up for cash?

I have often thought of paying per post. But, it really is hard enough to keep a business only board, business only, without the added trolls that would come around for 5 to 10 cents.
