I just go on forums to discuss and learn from other members. It is why I also belong to a lot of forums because I am there to learn about new things and how the world is evolving. Making money from those forums are secondary to me because there is no how I can base my source of living on them.
Well, if it's possible to make earning from paid to post forums a means of stable income, it means the the forum owners are billionaires from their forum investment but that's not the case. They don't make enough money to pay others in a way it's going to be a stable income for them.
