Do you think that the low pay makes some reputable posters to leave the forum in the name of no freedom of speech and censoring? Or I am just wrong about it.
There are many reputable posters who have never been in a signature campaign since the forum began. Check the technical board and you'll see them. While some have left, some are still here and money was never the motivation. I don't know what their motivation if as it could be one of many. The thing is, for some of them it wasn't the pay, maybe they got bored of the forum and decided to move on to something interesting.
One thing I know is that as some people will go, some people will come.
I agree with you.
