Let's play devils advocate

...

If the staff of vB.org is paid, who will be the ones who'll pay them? If it's Jelsoft, it'll place the company in an awkward (and legal) position. By that I mean Jelsoft will then be obligated to support the content that are posted here at vB.org.

Another huge factor is the econimical side. Heck, with paid employees come benefits, insurance, work compensation and so forth. Employee liability = $$$.

The way it is now, Jelsoft can legally wipe their hands clean from vB.org; but the company is pushing it. Here's why. They have (paid) staff members who are the bridge to vB.org. From my understanding they support the internal structure and have helped in the past whenever problems arised. In a way, and in the eyes of many vB community members, Jelsoft supports vB.org.

This is why I've made some suggestions on post #4.
