Paid to post on message boards?

[Evil Chris]

This seems to be creeping up all over the place.

First you have some boards out there who pay their registered users to post. Obviously this is done to keep their boards busy with posts, new threads, and also keep their boardtracker and alexa rankings up.

Failing that (or even coupled with that) you have others who actually outsource to companies to bring people to post to their boards, which is absolutely ridiculous!

Imagine using a service to bring 2 or 3 people to your board for the sole purpose of posting/bumping threads. The hired people aren't contributing ANYTHING to the board except numbers. SCREW that. This is something I would never, ever do.

What do you guys think about this??
