Funnily enough, this board is the most active place on the site. It's not Main, it's not Mission, only Random could match its activity rate.
Its kinda befitting actually, our predecessor intended Dollars to help people in the real world. They might've envisioned us as a non-profit charity organization, perhaps they envisioned us bringing supplies to the victims of natural disaster. Or gathering enough people down the road to raise awareness about something, they dream big. And for some, they probably wasn't able to see that dream realized.
This board was made from a submission, unlike the rest of the existing boards which came from the decision of the central influential members back in the days, by observing what kind of thread was frequently being made. Animation board was made to accommodate the members who frequently posted about anime and cartoons, Introduction board was made to redirect the flood of new members from making "WOW IM A NEW MEMBER & THIS IS SO COOL" thread on Main. But Personal board wasn't conceived because there were an overwhelming amount of people asking advice for their personal problems, the opposite in fact.
[More on that if you wanna read the entire thread about it]Some of the said influential members were a bit skeptical about it, but it did sounded right for that kind of place to exist in Dollars. After a bit of bickering back and forth, it was conceived. lo and behold it has remained and still is helping people until now, a decade long after its creation.
