Why do so many small forums offer a VIP feture

[jrh2002]

GREED the cheek of it All the money that we get from VIP goes in to help pay for the radio hosting, the shoutcast hosting the forum hosting and the hosting for habbox and the u.s. habbox.There has been alot of money put into this already and the vip members help but with everything we pay for we dont make any profit and will make sure if there is any spare cash in the future we will put it back into habbox.

Of course it has need to make money, the owners greed makes sure of that.
And sort your typing out :eusa_snoo

I didn't mean HABBOX FORUMS, I meant every small forum in general.
If it wasn't there, there wouldn't really be much point in the site, because the site wouldn't be making money, it'd just take time and effort to keep it running.

im talking about small forums, like on IF, if you have a vbullint forum you are paying for it, and therefor need to ither post ads or use the vip syetsm as habbox does. alot of big forusm do it. its a good way to keep a forum running.
my question is why do "small" forums do it? i see alot pf small habbo forums with teh vip feture, many with no reward or even method of payemnt. and some of them are copying habbox as thers a tendecy to have exscatly the same forums/ forum names in exsatly the same order in some. im not saying all.
i just wonder what people with small forusm hope to gain form it. i own a IF free forum? threfor i dont adverstise on it. i just try and nurture the community, until its big enogh to be able to stuin itself on a properly non free forum i plan to get when i can affored it.
