I am also an unfortunate member of that site and my dues are also still pending . But since there is no way of getting them back, i stopped visiting that site but occasionally visit them to find out whether they started paying now. And also my friends are there and i find some good quality and informative posts there . Mylot friends only educated me how to withdraw money from Paypal step by step, which i can not forget and i owe them a lot.

i think paying staff is good just because it helps ensure they stick around and take it seriously, since it's an actual job.

I think no one want to work for free wasting their valuable time unless it is his social work . So it is good to get the work done by paying so that we can demand for quality work and also they stick around

I always believe that you have to pay your staff no matter what. Now saying that does not mean you have to pay when you are starting the website / blog or forum. I agree with Raees people who work for free their dedication will be more but the question is how long. Once your website is a success and you are making money, then I would say start paying people who have worked hard to make it a success. Everyone need s money.
