Well I think this is a double edge sword. Yes you will get more users and more people posting but for how long? So you will get some content and your forum will like somewhat busy but will you draw in the users during that period to keep them around....

So do I think it's a good idea, yes to an extent but never give up trying to get new users...

And if you have used a service that does this please give some recommendations.

I've found a team of posters to be very useful at thye start of a forum. However, they do kinda lose the effect after a while.

Yah prices usually range from .10-.15 per post.

I don't care if you pay me :glasses:

Pick me! Pick me! :p

On a serious note: It might be worth it if you've got someone who really knows the stuff..
