I can't imagine this position doesn't exist, so I'm just assuming it does, so...how does the pay scale work? Is it based on which version of vB the forum is running? Is the pay grade based on number of members or threads or posts?

How is a "Professional Administrator's" base pay determined. The base pay obviously does not include any moderating or custom coding. I would assume the base pay would include basic maintenance, back-ups, up-grade installs, fixing bugs in up-grades as they become available and any other routine tasks.

Contrary to the attitude of some here, I do not believe the lack of ability or desire to perform these tasks precludes anyone from owning a forum. That attitude vastly reduces the market for the owners/developers of the vB program. My daily life is consumed with running three businesses and I simply do not have time nor the understanding to properly administer my forum.
