Staff should be paid. USMB makes enough money with their continual ads and donations...so hoarding it all for themselves is pretty sucky. It doesn't have to be a huge amount, but it should be SOMETHING.
Maybe they should look into extra income from companies that PAY posters to contribute to boards. You get paid if you post whether you are staff or not..and they get a percentage as well. Or, man up and PAY YOUR EMPLOYEES.

When I had my board, I paid my staff. 3 admins with me as head admin, 1 moderator. They each got 20 bucks per month...mod got 10. This was back in the day...way long ago. Nowadays, mods should get 20 to 25 per month, admins at least 40. This comes out of the DONATIONS members paid to keep my board afloat of which I was the major contributor. I had money back then. Not so much now, no, but still...I paid those who worked for me AND my board.
