History of Paid To Post
Forum in internet exist since long ago.
At the time,
people just join forum to chat, search information and asking.
Some forum script have extra function like credits system,
which credits user virtual money for joining the community.

Some person open a new forum some days,
with the new of his forum,
he found that he have less traffic and less member join his forum.
He then think of a new ways to have more member and traffic,
pay member to join his forum and posting.

Of course,
with this new idea, he bring a lot of member and traffic to his forum,
but some tragic happen too.
He run out of fund to pay his member.
This is a big problem in Pay To Post forum.
Pay To Post forum with no guarantees for the webmaster to earn.
Webmaster can only earn by putting ads around his forum.
If the webmaster didn't control the fund well,
he/they will just run out of fund in no time.

I'm afraid it's a huge problem in the paid to whatever industry. About 5 sites that I know of went down due to lack of funds. It can be done, it's just really hard to get the balance right. Most paid to post forums seem to go down due to spammers, or they simply aren't making enough from ad revenue.

For paid to post forums, it is inevitable that strict rules need to be applied as time goes by. When the forum gets bigger, more spammers will come. There will be more moderators needed as well. A good forum has more than one person behind the scene for sure. When the forum is new, members need more motivation to participate at different threads. But then certain sub forums are a disaster for paid to post. People are just posting all sorts of stuff. Anyway, I just hope the admin here has more than one way of earning other than adsense.

and some site shutting down everyday too,

To establish a paid to post forum is easy but you need to do some estimation about the cost. Some paid to post forum do provide high pay rate to get the member fast and finally they are fail to get revenue from their advertiser and down

Another way to fix this is giving high rate at beginning,
decrease rate when there are too many member.
But of course this will cause some flaming.
