Volunteers, yes.

Fun? The forums are just as fun for us as anyone else. Banning people isn't fun, just necessary to make sure the rest of the people can continue to have fun.

When Bungie moved offices, they sent us some swag, but I have no idea if they've done that since.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

If you count getting hilarious PMs (such as those found in WAAAHMBULANCE) as a form of payment then yes, they get paid quite well.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Do bribes from Exalted Mythic Members count as "pay"?

You get less in bribes if you talk about it. It's in the contract.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

They get paid rage messages, appeals, and demands for info on Bungie's new game.

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Urk gingerly caresses their chiselled jaws as he swears that he loves them once a month.

Yup, volunteers.

Make choices, and don't look back.

No, they are volunteers. But this tweet:

We hand selected each and every one of 'em except Qbix. He pays us.

Makes me wonder. It's probably an inside joke I don't understand.

They get paid in Yoozelbux. This is, funnily enough, also the only form of currency usable in a donation to a Forum Ninja.

Ninjas get paid in the blood and bitter tears of those they ban.

When sipped from a silver chalice, they are succulent and sweet!

The more I say Chang the more asian it sounds.

You see, it's almost like a conscription for these poor ninjas. They must sacrifice their free time, sense of humor and their firstborn for the better good of the Bungie community.

Be grateful for that sort of commitment.

Yoozel states that they accept donations

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”

Their payment is the plethora of kind, heartfelt Private Messages that they get daily from the adoring members of the Bungie Community.
