From what you have so far stated in the question you already have the resource but have not yet utilized it. On every forum you will have multiple users who are avidly active posting on blogs giving their opinions and in general helping the community off their own backs.

If it's mildly popular, and you are looking to pay editors, you might be better off concentrating your funds to pay just one editor. Writers are often pretty reliable, so one should be plenty.

If there are any repeat commenters or authors in your community, the best (and cheapest) option is to crowdsource this. i.e., get one or more volunteers. Make it worth their while by giving them some extra perks and swag, and they can make an impact by helping your community.
