If you see all these movie streaming sites, all these
forums over the net.
They have communities etc.
They usually have staff places available such as linker,
designer, Moderator etc.
It happens every where nearly, a good example is
Freeze-subs, they are a anime subtitling
group , who sub new releases for free, people all around the world joined their
team,
they had someone install the forum and design it,
someone upload the series that come out, bunch of people subbing it, others
encoding it, people testing the quality, and distributors.( so much
more)
And guess what, they all do it for free....
that's just one example, might not be
relevant.

Subject: Re: Free vs. Paid Support
Do the core developers answer questions in the PHPBB support
forum? I honestly don't know the answer to this. I want to make it
clear that we will not remove free support, only that core developers (Hugo and
me) will not answer most questions there. If volunteers want to answer
free support questions, that's great. We will support this by giving such
volunteers access to premium (paid) support.
The reason we want to
reduce time spent on support is exactly to pass PHPBB and other software in
features and customization. We can't do this if we spend all our time on
support. We also plan to make our source available eventually.
We
looked at Google AdSense and it can't generate significant revenue for us.

you hire someone for free? I would love to do that.
