    Default Are Onrpg staff paid money at all lol?

    I was wondering if the mods and writers of Onrpgs get a paycheck.

    If so, what do you guys think it is??

    I think Sandman and the admins are (not sure, though). Regular staff are not paid.

    I think I read somewhere that mods are volunteers.


    Seriously, is it like 600 dollars a month?

    I'd be glad to answer this question for you.. but may I ask why you want to know?

    Writers get payed by article, but otherwise, most admins and all moderators do not receive compensation. They do, however, get to rule over you all.

    because the mods have to put of with so much crap...logically I figured they must get paid to do it.

    And power over a website doesn't seem like enough motivation for me.


    What do writers get per article...guessing like 50 dollars. Lotsa money!

    how doyou know no one ever reads them? you forget onrpg is a gaming site, and is for actual games. Thus, people need articles written about said games. This is just the forums.. place for us to congregate and spew random crew. That being said, the mods are just to control us, and all they get is a powertrip from doing so

    Writers do get payed . I'm not going to tell you how much.. but it's great. There aren't many active writers, but a few of us still have seniority.

    Mods have fun! It isn't all work.
    No one here actually reads the articles though...and when I first came to this site I never read them...but whatever.

    and ya I figured gabe does since he owns the site.

    Lothia is on here more then Sandman and FabainN combined...yet he doesn't get paid?

    that doesnt seem fair.

    Fabio_r, not Fabian xD. Fabio works at the Holland office with Spilgroup, the ones who run the site. I'm honestly surprised Lothia isn't compensated. He is a huge asset to the site.

    Without the moderators the amount of stupid would build up unchecked and cause a rift into the Dungeon Dimensions to form, and the earth would be destroyed. Duh

    EXACTLY lol

    Without the mods this site would be full of porn. It wouldn't stop there either. Hackers would probably hack the writers ads who get paid in the first place lol

    LMAO @ putting mods on the spot like that.

    Whatever guy, if they get paid for lurking in random threads then that's a pretty sweet job.

    Um, I highly doubt that.

    Maybe gabe(ownder) does? I think he lives at home with his parents and is 25(onrpg member told me in yahoo).
    Thats gotta be an awesome salary for that!
