Nobody is paying anyone to come on these boards. It would be complete waste of that persons money because nobody is going to sell based on some message board posts. Would be a really bad investement to pay a poster. Especially on a board like this with long term investors they are not going to be scared into selling. People may be shorts or have some other motive like the company fired them, etc but the whole paid posting thing has yet to be proven anywhere from what I have ever seen.
