Assume that one person works full time on it. $5,000 a month is $60,000 a year. Subtract hosting costs and it's a relatively low income for one person who has the skills necessary to build and administer such a web site.

> not too shabby

It is actually a little shabby.

Perhaps in many parts of the US, but plenty of places elsewhere in the world, this is a really attractive salary.

hosting 15,000 users a month is trivial for a forum use case. building a forum is also trivial. you can literally do the entire thing in 15 minutes (buy a domain, use cPanel, install phpBB, done). I think 5K a month is more than appropriate.

you're greatly overestimating the difficulty of setting up a forum and the costs to have 15,000 active accounts with 1 hour viewing time.

Given the above is true, I have a proposition for you: I will pay you whatever you consider fair payment for fifteen minutes of your time to set me up a web site with an income of $5,000 dollars a month.

What? I didn't say finding 15K users and getting them to pay a cent an hour was easy. I said setting up a website that can easily support 15K users is.

I've already provided instructions on how you can trivially setup a phpBB forum using cPanel.

This statement is incorrect. You haven't provided instructions on how one can trivially set up a phpBB forum using cPanel.
