If we can generate enough income/revenue, we only plan to pay the core staff (2 admins, and 2 Veteran moderators)

Other then that, it's completely volunteer.

I have a freebie forum where we all get free gifts by getting referrals for our freebie sites. So I pay my moderators by switching between them for our Special Offer on our forum. It's hard to explain how it works. But lets just say they get there free gifts like a free ps3, xbox 360, ipod touch, iphone very quickly. Alot of them just take the 250-500+ cash as well. So this is a great way for me to keep them happy and let them all know I appreciate what they do on the forum. And they do alot of work as well. People are always trying to post referral links where they do not belong. So we have moderators for different sections and for different times of the day and night.
