Why? Rent, food, ISP charges, etc., etc.

I wasn't thinking of it quite like that. If PerlMonks simply provides a "meeting room" atmosphere, then no, they shouldn't get anything in return. If, on the other hand, vroom goes a step further and creates a section that's more of a mini-sourceforge for projects, then I think he (or rather, the site) should be compensated in some way. Judging from how much he's added to this site since $day1, I wouldn't bet against a lot more than just a meeting room.
