CHV Lives On

This is true, but then, I don't see the articals being republished either. Not unless the writter intends on selling it elsewhere.
Thanks for the input.
Ps. I still have no example work from anybody here.

You have a whole board of sample work.

yes, which I will look at when people email me some work and saying they are interested so I can see their normal work :P

The fact that no one has really expressed interest at this point should be telling of one thing or another. I may or may not express interest when you've got your prices sorted out; also, I think re-using media from a dead site you had nothing to do with is something of a mistake. not allowed

Exactly. You would only be buying the right to publish it. If you want exclusive rights to an article, you should be prepared to pay a professional price, because you could gain professional interest. At the very least, be willing to pay a sum equal to the expenses+labor the writer would amount for the work.
After mulling a bit, maybe you should accept volunteered submissions, no payment, just open it up to the entire public. They might lack the quality of a professional writer, but you would get them for free and can claim exclusive rights in a submission agreement. Less paperwork too, like for tax reasons... it would just be easier I think, but no guaranty of quality.
