I noticed that $0.00 postings are now allowed on Guruza ...how will Adam and Rich make a living if reward-less questions are asked? Furthermore, doesn't this significantly increase the possibility of spamming?
People succeed in answering Dave's questions 50% of the time (2 successes in 4 attempts).

We prefer to give users the features that they want and then adapt to issues like how we are going to make money and deal with spam. As it has been said before, parasites are the sign of a healthy ecosystem as long as they don't be dominant ;)
I think Guruza can be both entertaining (people answering questions for free) and financially rewarding (questions for money).
In the next few weeks we are going to roll out a search feature. You will be able to create a search that includes a minimum reward. Each search will have an RSS feed. Experts will be able to use these feeds to see only questions that match their criteria. This should help experts see only the questions that they are interested in.
