Actually you're way off. I'll give you that the 'scene' does it for notoriety, but when you say forums you're talking about an entirely different thing. The forum uploaders do it for money, big shock eh? Sites like Storage.to, depositfiles.com, etc. PAY uploaders based upon how many downloads they can get. Get 1000 people to download a clip and the site will pay you $10, now spread that out over a few 100 uploads every week. Cha ching!
Other sites like Rapidshare don't pay for downloads, but you do accumulate 'points' that you can use to buy premium accounts which you can then turn and sell for profit. And Rapidshare just recently started a referral/affiliate service.
The cash hosters are such a problem that even the users of Pornbb.org recently voted to ban hotfile.com uploads, though the vote was so close that pornbb.org elected not to ban hotfile as a host.
