Anyone use a paid posting service for a more niche kind of forum? Who did you use and what did you think?

using a paid posting service?
IMHO..better wise to void it...
they may go agaisnt ur theme..
once i tried "post exchange" i got 10 thread out of 15 was useless

.. .and usually, they are posting only for cash, not interests... your board have to be a place where people are interested to be... not the opposite!

Most reputable posting services will post according to your site's topic. They're a reasonable investment to get a newly started forum off the ground a bit. Realize they aren't going to create a community where there isn't one -- they just help get the ball rolling a bit.

For interest's sake, http://www.inb0x.com/ is one of more reputable companies.

Using paid posting services is a tempting quick fix but at the same time, unless you can keep the cash flowing, it's just that - a quick fix. These writers are there to make a buck, not to have a conversation with you or your members. Once the amount of posts has been reached they'll bugger off, which in turn will make it look like a popular member has abandoned your forum. There's two sides to this.

It's not intended to be a 'fix' of any sort. Like I said, it wouldn't create a community. It simply provides relative user generated content to 'get the ball rolling'. Relying on it for anything else is just asking for dissapointment.

The Paid service should be more oriented. one you can explore is http://www.forumsposter.com.

The paid service help you to cross the critical mass, and there is no easy success otherwise.
