Some thoughts on propping

[Red_Diamond]

Getting a very high RB is great, but my question to other's who have propped for ages, is what happens when/if the site you are propping for ever gets enough traffic that it doesn't need shills anymore?

Am I correct in guessing that in most cases, the props (who were solely responsible for holding a site together during the growing years) get the boot? Or is it an issue that depends site to site, with some getting to keep their original plan as a token for being loyal and helping out during the ruff times.

Stories good & bad anyone?...
