I've only been here a bit but I've been thinking about this ever since I got here, and I thought I would post it.

Durarara introduced us to the idea of "The Dollars", a colorless gang that has no rules or leaders. However we have already become to implement this into real life. And the idea of "The Dollars" is solid, but it would need adjustments to actually thrive in reality.

Instead of "A colorless gang with no rules or leaders" we become more like "A colorless organization with no rules or leaders, but upholds the ideals of those who wish to help others".

This has already begun to happen. And it could continue to grow easily. The Dollars doesn't have to be a secret club, it could be exclusive but open at the same time. Do the research or happen upon a notice or letter hanging around from the dollars at your school, campus, workplace, or etc? You're welcome to join us if you want, if not, you can let it go.

I personally think the concept of The Dollars is too much of a good idea to go to waste. Especially since it has already come this far in reality. We could seriously help some people or this could just be a safe haven where people can talk.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. And sorry if it is a little jumbled, it's late over here.

-ASA

yes but some people will think it is just a fan club in a way i think

We're public, so we aren't really any type of secret club. We've had many many missions where we're publically giving out the URL to this site and some missions where they either give the password out or not give it out(no idea why though, as the aforementioned public site status). We're helping people, and the world, one mission at a time. Slowly but surely. And that slowly is reaaaaaaal slow. And there are literally tons among tons of people here to consult you about your life problems, we have a couple of threads addressing it on the Random board.

So... Is that all that this thread is addressing? Because... We already have all that, and probably more. Yeah, it's a bit jumbled, but I think I got the gist of it.

That is true. It's pretty obvious that once you get past the password screen, this is more than just a fan club for Durarara.

We aren't secret...?

My point when saying "secret club" is saying that the concept of "The Dollars" could have ended up being a secret club. However it isn't, and people hand out the password and their own discretion. Just the clear that up.

The point of this thread is to discuss the concept of The Dollars in reality. Because the original concept of The Dollars does have a place in our reality I believe. Which is exactly what we're doing now. I just wanted to see what others thought is all.

Oh okay.

Well, the concept of having no rules and leaders is all good and well, but I believe that there has to have some kind of rules. Leaders, we can do without though. As we have shown before, we can self-moderate ourselves and lead ourselves instead of having an appointed leader do it for us.

... That last sentence didn't sound right. But whatever, I hope you got that.

Anyways, onto the rules part. People make constant mistakes or whatever. And other people will get annoyed. So we must have rules. Like... No spamming. Or duplicate posts. Or put things in the right place. But I guess those wouldn't be our rules, it's more like common internet etiquette shit. But whatever.

Those rules make perfect sense to me. I think it would be fair to also include no slander, no rumors, no massive insults. We are meant to be a group united, even if we all cannot meet each other in person. Of course the rules I suggested are also slightly common internet etiquette.

I think the Dollars could be a positive force, something that could change the state of things. At a low scale of course. I'm not ever going to expect to see entire wars stopped or as massive drop in violent crimes. But doing what you can, such as donating your time to help those who are less fortunate, or doing things to help people who need it. Then you spread the name of the Dollars, spread the password, more come to our group and find support, find people who are willing to listen where others around the person are not willing. But I also suggest that in no way are we supposed to baby people. We can be soft and kind, but dancing around the hard facts is an insult and could do more harm than just coming forth with the truth. But that is just what I believe, so I don't expect it to be completely followed.

I believe that The Dollars are simply a group for justice.

You know what, once we get enough members perhaps they could lock new members out by giving all current members their own unique user name and password to join, then it will be secret. And if the numbers drop then simply open it up for business again.
Although that has its faults its just an option.
OR perhaps we should create pages for individual locations and meet up sometime.
I'm just voicing my current thoughts at the moment so try not to criticize them too much =].

I agree with this. The Dollars in reality isn't just a group, or a fan club because of DRRR. It's a group for justice. It's a group for CHANGE. And it's we time we make a move for this change. Everyone wants to change the world but why not start with ourselves? Why not start with little things that can make a GREAT impact?

It's our choice if we would spread this site and give the password or not. We just have to maintain the peace here.

Anyway about the leader. I don't quite agree on not having one. I mean, yes, we can interact with one another without any problem but can't we have a leader to manage this site? Like the creator can, right? He'd be like the monitor of the whole group just to see our progress but not actually the LEADER who would dictate us what we should do. Guys get me? :)

Hope you all do. ^ ^
Thanks for reading this. :)
God bless.

Also everyone could buy a ps vita and tag locations with 'The Dollars' with that new app on ps vita....Lol.
And yeah we need a purpose, however gathering people is a good start.

We just have to be careful... Not everyone is seriously a good person.

agreed, be sure to see if they are really good people.

>>10 Manage the site? Basically an admin? Or mods? Because we can have that. Or like, the mods can be ourselves. We moderate ourselves, make sure shit doesn't fuck up. And why do we need someone higher on top to monitor? Can't the whole group monitor?

>>8 "suggest that in no way are we supposed to baby people. We can be soft and kind, but dancing around the hard facts is an insult and could do more harm than just coming forth with the truth"

THIS. THIS. GOD ALMIGHTY THIS.

>>9 >lock out new members
>Anyone can join Dollars, regardless of age, status, etc.

Glad there wasn't much post after my post before I went to sleep.

Regardless of where the Dollars came from, I would say this is a great method to recruit members.

Well, I thought I better contribute to intelligent discussion for once, rather than just lurking. Bear with me a bit here, as I tend to come off as a bit pretentious, so if I offend anyone somehow I apologize (unless I was really trying to insult you, which I'm not yet).

I've seen people here before waving the description "A colorless gang with no rules or leaders" as a way to justify being a general dick or doing the wrong thing. In a way this can be compared with Communism - a theory about how to organize and run a substantial group of people in a manner that is fair and efficient to everyone. Both were legitimately good and beneficial theories in regards to the people who made up the group, but both theories ignored one random, immutable factor - the human condition. Not every person acts rationally, not every person has the same sense of logic, not every person will do the right thing. Both of these theories will never be useable in real life in the manner they were envisaged simply because they are especially vulnerable to corruption by the human condition, and hence turned into something that may in fact be harmful to the individuals that comprise the group.

But anyways, how this Dollars site is now. Sure, we have a collection of jackasses and idiots, as well as intelligent people, those trying to keep order, and everywhere in-between. But we do have rules, even if they aren't always immediately obvious, and they help us to keep order and not become a massive backstabbing, self-destructive rabble. We may not have an official leader, but we can organize and get things done, with different people heading (and hence becoming leader of) these projects. We may not be what people thing us to be when they first hear of us, but we still get things done in our own way. We are just a group of individuals who happen to access the same site, but we still manage to keep order and not become a general hive of douchebaggery and kiddie porn. Despite all those things that could have gone wrong, this site has still been able to maintain its original purpose and thus remain a possible prot of call for problems and suggestions. Got something that you discuss or get off your chest? Got a problem that needs solving? Just want to help someone in general? As long as you aren't some douchebag waving the "A colorless gang with no rules or leaders" banner, there will be someone here to help and give advice to help you on your way.

tl;dr - We may not be as originally envisioned, but with some modifications we've managed to get it to work bitches.

>>16 Impressive explanation, and short summary of it at the bottom. I wholeheartedly agree with just about everything you've said, and +BUMP+ this thread

Lolwut?

Well, to be honest, The Dollars didn't really do anything. They just hung around. You could just do whatever you wanted.

i defnity agry

I agree completely.

>>20 Yes, The Dollars didn't do a single thing in the anime... *sarcasm if ya can't tell* Completely incorrect. Kyohei Kadota, Walker Yumasaki, Erika Karisawa and Saburo Togusa. Those four people, those four members of the Dollars, prevented a few of the awful events going on throughout the anime. So it's not like all of them sat around on their arse and did nothing. Plus lets not forget Celty.

Now all that aside, and the obvious fact that we sure as hell ain't gonna have a Dullahan working for any of us, I'll still stand by what I said earlier.

dollars= dara = lazing around + reality = true

I suppose this topic should be bumped for others to see?

We are secret in our own little way, not everyone knows about the dollars or what we are, although many people know we excist and what we try to accomplish for the world, there still is a high percentage of people who think of us as "ghost" so to speak... I've done my own personal missions around my town, and although some people may speak of such incidents, they dont know who did it and for what cause... The Dollars should be kept a secret for the sake of it.

Yes i think it would be a very good idea make The Dollars a real organisation but i dont think people would take us serious if we dont have a leader, or any rules for that matter. but I really like this idea of yours.

you lead your own crew

>>29 That might turn us into gangs though, seperate cells that only report back to their leader and leave the rest of the Dollars in the dark.

>>30 true i think that would be the biggest problem if you want the make The Dollars real. if someone has any ideas plese share!

The Dollars ARE real. And you're a part of them. We are real people trying to make a real difference in this world. And we don't WANT the world to take us seriously, because then our group would be infiltrated by a bunch of assholes that just want to ruin everything. Yes we all have different cells (our friends, and people near us), but that doesn't make us separate gangs as long as we all continue to collaborate and contribute by keeping communications with these forums.

>>32 Agreed. This is real. It's here, and there are many people here who are doing things to improve their communities and/or the world at large.

Why should the Dollars shove our name in people's faces when we do good things? You don't like people shoving what they've done in your face, do you? When you do that, it screams "Acknowledge me! I did this!", like you're overcompensating for lack of presence.

If you do the good deed(s) anonymously (MAYBE just leaving the Dollars name), they're done and hopefully the world will be better off for them. And yes, some will ignore them. But others will be inspired by them, and be inspired to do good things themselves. And when they do good, someone else may be inspired, and it keeps building and growing. ...Well, in the best case scenario anyways. But I don't think that's too far-fetched to happen to some extent. There's some term used in positive psychology to describe that kind of thing, but I don't remember it. >..>

Darn it! The dumb thing took out a lot of my post! Anyways, I'll try to re-type it as best as I can:

I guess what I'm saying is that it's not a hindrance if we don't put our name with our deeds. Rather, I think it will be better in the long run. It speaks well of our collective character. We're not looking for recognition. We want people to want to do things to improve the world whether or not they're in the Dollars, right?

If you think about it, the Dollars are really just a motivational/inspirational point that serves to help people become motivated to do good. Some people gain a lot from coming on here and reading about good ideas, or about what others have done. And that's great. Others don't need that. And that should be fine too.

I think the bottom line is that it doesn't matter if they're with the Dollars. It just matters that they're willing and able to do what they can to better the world.

Bump to get shit off of Main.

Woah!! You put that quite nicely. You're very right about that.

well when you put it like that..
i have to admit that you are quite right about that.

>>41 What does tdlr mean? >.<

>>44 Too long; didn't read

It seems like an ok idea I believe more of the dollars need to be team players

i agree with u!!! ASA.!!!

So, having read this entire thread, I must ask: when is it appropriate to advertise the Dollars in association with good deeds and when is it not? Thoughts? Like, is it okay for me to mention the Dollars when helping at the food bank, but not okay to wear a hoodie with a Dollars insignia when I serve at the soup kitchen? How colorless are we?

To talk about the Dollars when asked why you're doing something is good, but wearing the insignia is too much :P Also, talking to your friends (the nicer ones) is a good idea, whereas telling a well-known troll our password or even about us would be a pretty bad idea.

>>48 Our openness about our group is very open-ended. Everyone will interpret being colorless in a different way. While it is good to spread the word or at least create curiosity about the Dollars, you don't have to go telling people about us. If you want, you can mention the Dollars when you do community service. The thing is, despite many of us here wanting to do good in society and the world, we are not exactly a service organization. Although you might get the motivation and idea to help out in the community from the Dollars, you are the one who did the work. I mean, you'd do community service even if you weren't a Dollar, right?

...Well, I'm not sure if I got any point across. But anyways, wearing a sweater with the insignia is fine in my opinion. You're technically free to do what you want here. Just act according to your own discretion and judgement of what you think is best.

I'm thinking more along the lines of what >>50 said, " or at least create curiosity about the Dollars" It's like people will see the good deed and if they're inspired or motivated to find out who did it and why then they'll look up the Dollars.

bump

Hey, new member here.

Anyways I definitely agree with what has been said about the need of some rules for a basis for the gang to function. Although i do believe that we can moderate for ourselves without having to bring in a "leader". We should be able to trust our fellow Dollars to not screw up this opportunity for a change in our world.

On the subject of spreading "The Dollars" name to other people, I say that we shouldn't be afraid to put out the name of the group, not for some sort of recognition, but for others' curiosity to spark and check out what we're all about.

I believe The Dollars have the power to change this corrupted world, and I know I'm going to do everything in my power to keep it from crashing and burning.

-Rinai

Rinai, in the Dollars, the concept was "no rules or restrictions". I do like the idea of helping the world. I'm not saying not do that. I'm just saying that that shouldn't be our focus or our "mission"

I don't see why it shouldn't be, I mean, isn't that what life is all about, change? why shouldn't a goal for The Dollars be a change in the world? That should definitely be something to strive toward.

I understand that some members aren't about that sort of thing, which is completely fine, but isn't that what The Dollars were made for?

-Rinai

The Dollars were made for amusement, honestly... this Dollars, I can't say exactly. But no, we're not world savers. Plus not all life is about change. Some people reach that point where they are completely content. Haven't met any yet, but I'm not going to deny they might exist.

I also will never believe that we are some completely united force. People will always have their differences. Also, this is just what I believe. The world is damned to die. No amount of effort will save it. Best just enjoy your time on it and hope you're dead when it finally goes BOOM.

I'm completely content with my life. Nah, I'm lying. Only thing I wished to change is how dumb and sometimes illiterate people are. That's the only thing I'd wish to change(referring to people on this site). And when that change happens, then I'll be content and you can all kill me in your anger with me.

If that's the way that you want to see the world that's fine, but human kind is the only thing that can ruin the world. So if we change the direction in which human nature drives us, then there won't be anything left to do the destruction/

-Rinai

Hardly. The planet itself is on a timeline. How long it will last is anyone's guess. But truly, earthquakes, the natural ring of fire that caused the Japan earthquake/tsunami, other natural disasters. Even if human kind was never given this planet, it would still die. A bit slower, perhaps. But that is the nature of all living things.

bump

At first, watching Durarara!! I did want something like the Dollars to be real, in my perspective; they were cool, easy going, and invisible. The person next to you in homeroom could even be a member, and that's why I liked it so much.
After joining this, I wanted to do all that I could to help spread the good name of the Dollars.
So I would send letters to people, and put cards around the mall with the Dollars sign on it.

I completely agree with you. It is too good of an idea to be thrown away, and ignored.

We have to think of other ways to spread the name of the Dollars. :)

I watch the member count all the time, and I can see it gradually increase.
Because of everything we've put into it.

>Tokumei<

bump

Normally I just lurk around, but this topic has sparked some real interest in me. A little long, but bear with me.

First off, I completely believe that the dollars don't really need a main leader. People have the ability to be common with people. We have the ability to moderate and admin our own decisions. It's seems like a bit of child's play to have some sort of boss telling us what to do all the time.

As far as the Dollars in self, I do believe that it has multiple purposes. It really depends on the person that you are responding to I guess. To me, this website is all of the listed above. It is a fan-site that I can talk about an fantastic anime that is common among most of us. It is a sort of organization headquarters where a mass of good-hearted people plan to reduce world suck levels. It's also a place where people can just be.

I think that the Dollars want to do good in the world, but it's not the only thing that we strive for.

>>63 I like this answer a lot.

>>63 I totally agree.

>>63 i agree too~

>>63 Couldn't say it any better.

i also agree you truly put it in perspective its as thogh read my mind

I agree in your opinion of thought.

>>63 Great point! I think it's important to remember that even though there are a lot of us who feel really strongly about the helping and bettering aspects of the Dollars, not everyone here is like that. It's the very reason that there's more than just the "Main" tab on the left.

As a side note, I really like this discussion.

bump.

About doing good and affecting change in the world, the way I see it is that there's two kinds of action a group can take. Each member of the Dollars here can be proactive and do small, good things in our daily life and not be world heroes or anything.

But what the original Dollars showed seems to be that the importance is having a network built so that when a crisis does happen, there will be people within easy contact who can be mobilized. So if you just want to do some good deeds in the world in the name of Dollars, that's fine, and if you just want to stay with Dollars here to socialize, that's also fine, but it's a matter of personal allegiance that when the time comes, you remember that you're a part of Dollars and reflect well upon it.

ASA i like your idea but, to really change things this website is not for you. Half the people here are just durarara fans. So if you want an orginization to help change something, your best bet is to make a new website. Without the name ''Dollars''.

Yes We need some changes , We Need to help membres , we need change our idea , we need to do somethings of good , we need power not only in america & australia but in all around this word
We need recruting & projects goooood idea , +1

I think if we really tried and we could get our name out there publicly, like on the news or something. We could be like a nonprofit organization. These are just some thoughts.

>>94 Then everyone would know about us and the point of a password on the entrance page would be voided. Because you can find the password anywhere if you know what you're looking for. We are supposed to be Secret. Word of mouth colorless gang. Going on the news, doing publicity. Why? There is no point.

>>95 It begins to make me wonder how we recruit. Would we go about it by giving a password to whoever desires to join? Or how about the people who happen to find our messages? How would they get the pass?

>>96 As one of the missions suggest, we would write the site address and the password. As for other methods, I guess you can just give the password to whoever you desire. But it's not like we've been told to recruit as quick as we can. Also, for people who find our messages, they can easily google the site if they are interested.

>>97 Yea... but im mostly trying to recruit people who have given up on life due to the cruel intentions and crimes. Im merely showing them the true path of happiness.

>>92 Probably because they think it's an interesting topic worthy of of continued discussion.

>>96 Well, first off, I think a lot of recruiting has been done indirectly via the anime and subsequent google searches.

Second, I personally don't think that recruiting should be a goal. The point of the helping side of the Dollars is just that: to help. It's not about getting more people. I think most of us found out about this site via internet searches ourselves as opposed to literal word of mouth.

If any recruiting should be done, it should just be by example and inspiration, not "Hey, wanna join the Dollars?" And also by just dropping the website as kind of an afterthought in a mission (not the password IMO). If people are curious enough, they'll be able to find the password. I just did a google search to check, and it's really easy to find the password. One of the first hits is to a DeviantArt account where they pretty much spell it out for you lol.

>>98 I'm not trying to burst your bubble or insult you so please don't take it that way. And I'm not disagreeing with you inviting friends who you know and trust to hopefully keep them from hurting themselves. I think this site can be a good remedy for that. But saying that we're the true path of happiness is more than a little presumptuous, and it really over-exaggerates what the helping side of the Dollars is. I guess what I'm saying is try not to give a false impression of what we're about.

I see helping is happiness Im merely forging a path with my own perspective.

I completely agree with this.

>>100 i like how you said that lol

BUMP

>>100 Oh, I see what you mean. I misunderstood at first. >.< Yeah, I'd agree with that lol.

Ive put up a small poster (and by small I mean business car size)on the college bullitin board advertising the dollars. all it has on it though, is the name, and underneath, my old mobiles phone number, with the line "Confidential, help for those, who are treated badly and need someone."

Ive already got 2 phone calls, one from a quiet girl who always seems to be alone at breaks, and another from some idiot trying to be funny.

Its a start...

Business card*

bump

y not?

wat about bandanas??

dont change the dollars, the dollars is suposed to be based off Drrr and if you change it then it wont be the dollars anymore if you want to change the dollars make your own gang, we already know that we help one another out, if we make the dollars an organisation then its not as cool as a gang we would sound more professional and remember most of the people on the dollars are mainly teens. and those who agree that we should have a leader i strongly dissagree, if we had a leader to tell us what to do and what not to do then it wouldnt be our own actions helping all those out there, then there would be the problem of who was the leader since this is not the only dollars website, the part of the dollars is that we are already helping people if you wanted to make an organization of helping more then you are going to take on a very difficult mission since the dollars are everywhere and all the problems cant be known by one person to assign to people. what makes the dollars so cool is that its a secret thats why they have a password and all that, if everyone knew about the dollars then the dollars wouldnt be special. THE POINT OF THE DOLLARS IS NO RULES AND NO LEADERS if you want rules and leaders then you really dont belong in the dollars

We don't want the Dollars to be the next 4chan.

>>109 What? That's not the point!

Correction, having a leader is 100% fine, however the position can only be used to issue missions that involve good deeds, whether you follow the mission through is your choice as a member.

I had originaly asked this very question on the topic on "Where can I watch Drrr" But for some reason its not coming back to the main page.

Ok so here is my question, How can we, make the dollars legit as a real organization? How can we as a community make ourselves know to the world and to get peoples attention? What can we do to help the world?

For example, the name of my school is called Y.E.S. prep. Y.E.S. stands for youth engaged in service. So in a way I was doing the Mission of the dollars way before the dollars were even created. We need the dollars to real, not some wanna be fan site. Lets do this, whose with me?

We could turn it into a not-for-profit charity organization.

I'm not 100% sure on how you would go about that, but grant writing is a part of it. I do have a certificate in grant writing, but I've never actually sent a proposal to anyone. And that's a step for when the organization is actually officially a not-for-profit. I think you need some kind of certification for being a not-for-profit organization charity thing.

>>114 Why did YOU join? Did you think this was a fansite? Clearly you don't know what this site is about. *sigh* This isn't a wannabe fan site. Just read the 'About' page and you should see that clearly. We exist and are real. Just because we're called The Dollars doesn't mean we're a fansite. Yes, we took the name from the anime, but that's because the people who started this site were inspired by the idea and decided to make a real-world version of The Dollars, expanding and fleshing it out from the snippets the anime showed to be what they believed it would be if fully developed. And we have a 'Mission' page for crying out loud. And people post new missions and all that, implying that they are at least somewhat active doing good stuff.

>>115 You would also need the approval of the vast majority of members, if not all of them. And I'm guessing they wouldn't give it. We're not some charity organization. I don't think anyone would want us to be. The Dollars isn't just about doing good. It's also "a place for general discussion of shared hobbies and interests" (quoting the 'About page). There are sections of this site dedicated to different things for a reason.

Right now we're too divided. There are too many people in too many separated place. (Not that it's a bad thing) But the main reason the Dollars in DRR worked out was because most of the members were gathered in one place :/ I would say to make the Dollars a real life organization we should focus on separation problems first... Just my opinion though, no need to take it seriously...

OP: Sometimes, it really does feel like we're just a fansite; the Dollars I know IRL haven't told me of their endeavours or stuff. As for me, I've been helping set up charity events at school but I can't label as 'Dollars' as it's a part of another organization already.

Also, isn't there a Google map with member pins lying around somewhere? If we gather large enough groups, we can establish brances or something. Distance isn't really something that can be overcome.

>>116, I'm also part of the Harry Potter Alliance, and we do have a forum where we talk about things that aren't charity-related at all. So it's not as though that aspect of the Dollars would be sacrificed by becoming a not-for-profit charity.

It's just a suggestion, of course. It might be too much of a hassle, I don't know.

pardon if imma spoil the party...but a clan with no rules no leaders is a performative contradiction..."No rules" is essentially a rule in itself...n.n please think it again...rules may denote superficial "Order" but that's how the world works...Even in the internet...one can enjoy relative freedom here because of anonimity but that's it...because the limit is all that is posted here are just fragment of the "virtual" world...Yes it's good that there will be no "bossy" because there is no boss at all but...to be ruled by the rule...is another story...

there's always potential for the hopeful, and its never a bad thing to believe in the better things in life.

However, those who believe, don't ever look away, not from nightmares or the truth.

You have to remember about some of the realistic things in this world, despite how bad they are, but once one learns to accept it and why, then they can find others with like minds, and help counteract it.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/05/politics/occupy-wall-street/index.html

i really do like the concept of the dollars. Even if this tree has a few rotten apples. The others are fruitful and bright with color

>>116 Many ppl do see it as a fan site, they post stuff on the main page like "where can i watch drrr", "i need more information on saika" ect. i mean what the hell. It obvious that many ppl dont take us seriously. thats all im sayin.

We know from Durarara!! that Dollars isn't a secret 'gang'. They were clearly saying that you can tell anyone that you are from the Dollars. I have already begun sticking post-it notes with “The world isn't as bad as you think it is” and our URL everywhere. I've also written that on Dollar bills, leaving them at random places. I plan on sending text messages from a secret number and emails from a random email account. Just things like that.

I joined the dollars to change the world.

yeah it would be great.
and not just help people, but do a lot of other stuff.

Well, we're a community, so we have our casual discussions as well as helping change the world.

Bump

bump from beyond the grave

The Dollars is made up of people, we can make it real if we want to. Even if it's just cleaning up garbage. Small deeds have their meaning to.

Bump. Dollars!!!!

I agree with ASA man we needs to do this

I really want to get together and talk to one another, but people from all states are so far away that I can't reach them! T^T

This sounds Awesome!!!! I am soo up for helping

That's a good idea.

im up for this

bump

This seems logical, why not...after all, the world is quite currupt, no? why not put a little effort in a growing organization to change a little, with enough people a little becomes a lot

I like this idea!
Introduce your friends to the Dollars, even if they've never watched DRRR!

I'm up for it.
Lets get to it.

ide gladly get on board with this im new here but i decided to look up this group after watching Durarara figuring that a group with this good of a idea as to make a difference in the world had to leak into the real world and here it is lol. if we can uphold the idea of trying to change things for the better and try to make this world a better place then lets do it.

alright, I half expected to be shot down on my first reply here, but alas, a place on the internet where people aren't d**k-heads...lol amazing, it's already working!

I think this just might be a good step forward in the dollars and what we are trying to get after.If this goes as planned.. bump this!

I think this basically sums up everything that needs to be said. But now we need to stop talking and do something, even if we all do live far away from each other we can still make a difference!

This is what I am try to do on my thread, so can tpye that on my thread

This is what I am try to do on my thread, so can tpye that on my thread

Why not make a chatroom on this? Doing this groups in people who can assist with your idea.

Since we are so scattered, let's fix that. Why don't we make divisions in each of our towns? I had an idea to print out fliers and put them up around town, as well as personally involve my close friends in this, I'll tell them to spread the word too, with word of mouth and some minor advertising, I think things can go a long way. To keep the divisions connected, we can post things we do to better the community on here, that way we can motivate other divisions to do things too, as well as keep the Dollars global and connected.

Well, >>154 This wouldd work Pefectly. The only issue is that, if we advertise at all we can say obviouly there are poeple out there that will just take the information and put it some were that's tottally public and ruint he whole idea of transperancy of the dollars. So the flier Idea would probably fail. Although directly telling close friends could increase the numbers of the dollars greatly if we all do it. WE just have to make sure they don't go around advertising it aswell.

>>155 You're right about the fliers idea, I wasn't taking the transparency into consideration, but we should still spread the word to close friends, and have them do the same, it'll just be up to us to pass on the invisible idea of the Dollars as well, to avoid anyone else advertising. I plan to tell two of my close friends about this today, and do something small to help out the community in a noticeable way. I'll post a thread if it all goes well, I have some ideas, but I'll need to actually talk it over with my friends. But there's nothing stopping this from happening, sure it started as an idea from a show, but the reality could spread global.

The thing we NEED to avoid is Telling people about the dollars in any other way other then a face toface conversation, if you contact sombody with private info via text or email or chatroom they're moer likely to spread it even if you ask them not to. Just watch your backs kids.

I was talking about face to face, and I assume he was as well.
The flier idea was just a thought that passed through my head, it's been dropped. Relax.

i agree...but many people have already planned for this..i don't know if dollars will really come to life. but if you're really in it..i'm in also :D

>>159 you are totally right.

oh yeah, one more thing,this is something i found interesting: http://www.takepart.com/ready-to-takepart?cmpid=tp-ad-2011-10-17-ready-to-takepart

the dollars in reality would be interesting cuse the whole reason of the dollars is to have people expose the side of the world that is unseen by others and expose the true you in shadows,so yes it would be amazing to see the dollars as a actual organization

>>168 ...I think you missed the point of the entire thread. We are an actual organization. We have organized, as a group, although I have no idea where you heard "the whole reason of the dollars" was something something shadows. But you're entitled to your own interpretation, and that's the whole point.

>>170 ppl like him dont read the entire thread

bump

Bump

bump

same

interesting and true

bump

I think that the Dollars as a literal entity is just that, an entity. An entity without form, but also without a definite structure. I think we should never use the Dollars as a novelty, never say "Oh, i'm part of the Dollars isn't that so cool, guys?", because it's demeaning to those who come to this community seeking consolation or otherwise actual matters of importance. Members of the Dollars should never try to represent the Dollars, if we are to be a group with no image, then we can't have people speaking for us, this again goes back to not using it as a novelty. To some, the Dollars may be a community for roleplaying an anime they are a fan of, or just a silly fansite, that mindset isn't inherently wrong, BUT, there are those who see it as a community of those who want to help others and make a change, no matter how minute, to the world. That again, isn't inherently wrong. Why? Because the Dollars doesn't have an image, or a face. If we say that the Dollars are without color or face, then we can't conform to any set of ideals and actions, that would be losing the concept of faceless entirely. The Dollars is a group of people, nothing more, nothing less. However, what we are able to make of it is solely up the people involved, those who call themselves members.

We are The Dollars, we have no face or color, we have no ideals and convictions. We are a community of anonymous people. And what we make of this community is our role. Whether the Dollars grows or sinks into nothing is our choice.

With all that said, I love this community and I think we are graced with an opportunity to make something great of it, all it takes is action.

wow, what i think we are is just people who care about things

>>178 wow that was deep. but what happens if we want to recruit some more members?

>>200 lmfao hahahaahahahahaaaahahahahahaha

we need a pure otaku members here and we need to opose a highly oaku sidedrome , during i entered every chat room they always tuckle such a love and i thought i could get updates from anime bu probably no im just like having a love romance exposure

..... Pure otaku? Well if we do start that, you can kiss my ass good bye.

>>203 I'm extremely sorry for the rudeness that I'm about to direct at you, but are you stuck on stupid? This isn't a fansite, and that fact has been pointed out in countless threads. "Pure Otaku"??????? WHAT THE FUCK? We're not a group dedicated to the obsession of all things Japanese. Whether it be Otakus or Weeaboos, we can live without the constant stream of anime talk, Japanese products, etc. Personally, I read manga, eat Pocky, and drink Ramuné. But you don't see me going to any of the boards posting shit like "GUYS! All of the Otakus need to stick together on the Dollars,, blah blah". Hell, if I felt like it, I could be a dumbass and get all the Grammar Nazis together, and pwn half the members. Honestly, if you want an Otaku group, start one on fucking Facebook where only people that WANT to deal with it have to.

-My rant ends here, my apologies for the profanities and atrocities that it contained. Please take my words into consideration, however, and have a nice day/night (depending on what part of the world you happen to be in).

>>205 This. All of this.

dollars is for everyone...not just otakus...

>>207 yup i agree with you.

i agree.

>>207 i agree

Happy Halloween

>>211 Yep, that relates...

Agreed

Ofcourse we should become public! But, what I think is that not all of us live near eachother so it would be hard for us to meet up, but, that's just my feelings. I'm trying to put up some posters and notice papers up about the dollors, but, it's kind of hard, because I want to do it anonymously but, I'm gonna try!

>>214 just invite your friends

>>215 is right. >>214, posters will just attract too much an wanted attention. Invite people you think you can trust, not everyone :P

I totally agree with this.

lolz, bbs made you double post again. that sucks :< but oh well, it's still AWESUMMMMM.

bringing this up because, well, there's two dumbass...er....i mean, just some people

Le fucking bump

Well, that is not a bad idea.

doing the same things just like the anime could be so incredibbbbbbbbbbbble.I've just recently decided to post my comment,ideas or concepts that I want to share to everyone else. In my opinion, every school/area should or could have a DOLLARS group so that they know each other. I mean.. all the members of the group can interact and make projects that can persuade other people to do a good deed a day.right? That can be possible if we don't doubt the ability of the universe. Law of Attraction yo'

I honestly like an idea of a place where it is without rules and without leaders, no matter how philosophically hypocritical it seems. I'm new here, and to be honest, I don't care that much about the ones who are treating this as a fan-site and those who aren't. I really hate re-digging up an annoyance such as "otaku this", but let's just face it. Most of us are here because we were inspired by the storyline and its concepts. Some of us are here because we are simply curious, and just want to add something interesting to our short time on this planet. And just because someone is a fan of the show, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The Dollars should be a place where all walks of life can freely interact with each other, and place in their own contribution. I have the feeling that this will be a special place, and although I might be the only member in my area, there will be some day in which I can do something that can change a small part of society. All in all, I think that this should be a place where we can all just do what makes us happy, since happiness will spread more happiness, and that's all we really need in life, isn't it? At the end of the day, it all depends on whether we are enjoying the experience.

Sorry if that was too long, but I just mainly think that all of us has the potential to do the morally right thing. It's the tolerance and fun of this group that actually pulls through. Remember, we're clearly colourless, and to do that, we have to accept many colours within our spectrum.

As for the matter of recruitment, I have some people in mind who might be interested, and don't worry, they're people I trust to not abuse the invisible system that we seem to have.

We all are here because we really like dollars. Everyone is free to do what they want and everyone is welcomed here. I think that you idea is good but it is one thing. It is fun because it is a little secret and that people don't know who we is. You should be intressted in dollars to be a member and not just look at it, write one thing and then never come back. I am I think most of the other people here want everyone to be serious. That's why it is a password and not so well know in the world.

>>221
bump for dumbasses

The majority of our members try to spread a little more love and peace in the world, but I don't believe the Dollars should really have an official purpose. The gang was created because it could be and we're in it because we can be.

i agree with ultispy

i think that this describes it perfectly!!
ba-bump!

bump

again

You know, I think I'm liking some of these suggestions. Especially ultispy's comment. Maybe we don't really need a purpose? Like the Dollars in the anime, we could just hang around and "dara dara". Mainly, I just believe that the combination of these ideas would work well to define us as a group, but I agree in that we don't need a purpose for ourselves as of yet.

bump

bump

I know! Why don't we recruit people who are less noticed? That'll make them feel better. :)

Also, I think it's fine if this will be kept as a secret. It's so fun to keep a secret about an organization that does good things to improve the world! ^^

^^ Agree, Catheleya.

bump

>>238 This website isn't a secret, everyone who watches the anime would know about the Dollars. Hurr durr.

>240 I guess you're right, this site is not a secret but it is unknown to many. I'm also a fan of Durarara for many months but I just discovered this site just this month.

the show is known but it took me a while to find the password to get in. I like cracking codes like that.

so, from what i can gather the majority of the responses to this question as to how we can/should recruit and what our goals are as a group should or should not be, and that the argument as what the Dollars from the anime would or would not do/ stand for. while i rather enjoy the idea of the Dollars and all the possibilities that come from a united (for the most part) force of people from various places all over the world, i think that some people are getting a bit carried away with this. The people that are saying that the Dollars should be used as a means to alter the world on a more large scale with goals of "thinking big", i agree with the concept and it is something that i would normally agree with BUT i think that the whole allure of the dollars in the anime was that they had no goals and ended up coming together as a community. everything they did was rather small scale, but really influenced the place that they lived. i think that this is where WE have the advantage. The Dollars in the anime were centered in one place, whereas we have people EVERYWHERE. the people saying that we should be a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people, we already are. we help people because we want to, it's never a large thing but we do make a difference whether we seem to or not. i believe that there is a sort of humility in remaining colorless, faceless, and unkown, because if we DO become a large scale deal money and media attention, then WE get glory in return for helping people, which goes against the altruistic nature of helping people.

That being said, i am not saying that we need to stick EXACTLY to the way that the dollars in the anime are, i think that change is important for any group. not only that, but some people have previously mentioned (sorry, too lazy to find the post numbers of the people that said it) that in order for this to work in reality, things have to change from the way that it works in the anime. as for recruiting, i dont know what to do. seems like there are pros and cons to any sort of pla we come up with in that department.

sorry, forgot something, going off of the whole "we have people everywhere" part, all of the small scale things we would do internally would add up to become a big change worldwide, but at the same time people wouldnt even realize it, and that's ok with me.

Like a blue star whale :v

We don't have a purpose. A lot of people in Dollars want to make the world a better place. That's not a bad thing.

I'm not sure if this was already voiced, but:
1. If everyone moderated the site, then it would be kind of like the neighborhood watch y'know? everyone looks out for each other.
2. The meet-ups. What f we have members from all over the world..? and how would we meet up.? Some people cannot afford tickets, or are too young and cannot leave to go anywhere. This problem might be solved through video and voice chatting though.
3. How would we keep the peace..? As we seen in the latest episode, the Dollars didnt do anything, even though the Yellow Scarves were picking them off one-by-one...how would we defend ourselves and maintain peace..?

>>248

1. Everyone can moderate the site, and its generally encouraged to do so once you feel like you've got a good idea on where things are supposed to go and what not. We went for an entire year without anyone having actual "moderator" powers - And some members just took it upon themselves to start keeping things organized.

2. Meet ups happens on a case-by-case basis, threads about them get made now and then for conventions and such. There's even one in Random right now for New Yorkers.

3. It's fairly important to remember that the majority of the community tends to dislike when people try to compare our Dollars to the anime. Not a fansite, etc... Some things simply don't translate well from the source material to the result you see here. This is one of those things. Its better to think of us as a community than a gang.

Alright i'll do my best to help.

i like how everyone's so nice!

That was actually Mikado's intentions after the dollars were accused a couple of times.

Bump

I am new to the dollars, and I too think it's a good concept that should be brought into reality as an organization working for the betterment of society from behind the scenes. That's why I joined. So we should work together to make this thing a reality.

i agree to

i agree as well, we should definitely introduce the dollars to the world, and start getting recognized, get people saying "I heard the Dollars were behind that"

I agree, but we will also need some measure of security for this site, considering the fact that I was recently (about an hour in a half ago) hacked by 2 people under the name "Kanra~" copying every last sentence I wrote. The people I was chatting with couldn't recognize me! It really upsets me too considering that I just made new friends on this site. I cant even get into the forum now to talk to them.

hm, i dont know about the idea, but maybe we should try accounts, so you would have to use your tripcode as a password

Apparently a huge number of people didnt actually read the thread. Fuuu
and to 257, there is nothing we can do about the chat having "hackers", which they arent, theyre just clever. Retlair(i think i misspelled that) does not read moonrunes, and cannot make a permanent ban system for it. Ignore the trolls, n get on with your life.

hacked. It's not hacking. And... Can't get into the forum? You're on the forum now.

And people really should stray from the anime names, it will get taken. And in my opinion, we shouldn't get accounts, we've done fine without them.

So, I'm new here and first of all I want to welcome everyone.
Next thing is that I agree with that opinion "no leaders, no rules" We really don't need them so I think is ok if someone want to wear the hoody with The Dollars logo or something else. Is also ok if you come here talk with others, is also ok if you want selling drugs or killing people, but why? For Money? For fun?(I don't think so that kill someone could be funny). Human nature is not evil, human are not evil from the start. It is all the ill society fault. I think we should do the good things and give the example for others. We can show is the other way, the better way. We don't have to be even a united group to do those things. You can do individually help someone on the street. On the world are only two evil things which makes the people bad. There is a God and Money as you can see all the conflits are becouse of god or money. I kill you because my god said me that or I kill you to have more money. I don't really want annoying someone. If you want belive, belive, but belive that to no hurt somebody. I think that what I said is inside everyone man and woman in the whole world and this is the way to save the world. Start doing good things, step by step startring from yourself. I like this quote from assasin creed "Nothing is true, everything is permited". What you want to do is only your choice. Life is too short to do nothing. I'm just 20 but I think i can live my life on 2 ways. Try to do something and on the end of my life be proud that I have done something really good or just do nothing and saying "there is no hope, we are all gona die" and leave that world with the sorrow that i don't do anything. I don't belive in any god and end of this life is end of everything so why noe leave something here, something good what I done before in my past.
Thank you all for reading this and think about that what i said.

>>260 "And people really should stray from the anime names"

but i dont want to change my name :<

>>261 Dear fuck, learn how to use paragraphs to structure your ideas. TL. DR.

I'm not really going to read through all these comments, however, it would be nice I guess to help others... If they need...
Although, I don't think this site will really change anything to be quite frank. There aren't that many members, and when divided by the countries these members belong too, that's even less.
Nothing gets changed without enough people supporting it...

>>262 It's too late for you now. And I haven't really seen another Firo, guess Baccano isn't as popular. That, or it's not Japanese desu enough for these people.

bump

bump

bump

personally I joined Dollars because it's NOT a fan site. Its' an actual place where people try to do things to make the world a brighter place
>>264: we don't need lots of people to make a change, one person really can make a difference, maybe this site won't make a huge impact, but maybe it can be enough to help a few people out no?
Anyway this is my personal intake on it. We shouldn't do things to get our name out and publicize ourselves, but we should do it for the betterment of the society we currently live in.

haha i totaly agree!!! asa we should be open!!! but at least not in a bad way...the dollars became reality!!!! in any case do not give the dollars a bad name though...

having gotten to the 71st post from 1 down i think its safe to that more people should check this site out. just tell a friend to check it out or just spread curiosity. i myself am very intrigued by this and feel the need to bump.

bump

bump

I think that we need more order, we need a way to contact everybody in the world. However it will be a lot more difficult because we aren't in a central location like Ikebukuro. We need a solid leader that has connections to the world. A way that we can help the entire world and not just a central area. Since in all reality we are a world wide organization. We need a solid leader. One who can message everybody at once and everybody can make efforts when they receive the message.

I consider The Dollars as an 'organization' not a gang. Yes in the show its a 'gang' but in real life if me make real efforts to help the world than we should all consider The Dollars as an organization.

We need somebody who can take control of The Dollars but who can stay in control and meet everybody's needs.
We also need a situation where everyone doesn't need to go online to read up on The Dollars.

In all seriousness we need a LEADER. A real leader.

really, everyone has access to the whole world now days..but it may be better if we were to meet up somewhere.....like all of the countries..to I don't know..strengthen the bond between members..? Get toknow each other?

^
i vote California, USA. Since everything else happens there anyway.

Mikado needs to step up and take control!!!

Huh??
Seriously we dont have a boss yet? O.o??
Heres the question of the year, how does one become the boss of the dollars?:/

Beats me but will this change when we figure that out. I mean like will we like him or her and how they take charge? Many questions so very little answers

276>> I agree and people who cannot make it should Skype or something.
277>> Yes >:T
278>> Very carefully...?

Well the leader could the one who made the site
Just like in the anime the person who controls the website basically controls the Dollars
But just like in the anime he/she could be someone who has no real desire to lead

In that case shouldn't the leader be the one who rarely speaks? Too many people to figure that out. So they should come right out with it, I mean it's not like we would jump him or her right? Lol

that is true.

Love this idea. The idea of an organization like this could make the world a better place. Who knows what "The Dollars could accomplish.

Theres one issue... How will we do it¿

Taro Tanaka has anyone ever talked bout this? I mean it is a strong topic and i think some people can agree to actualy vote on a leader right? That's if the original leader doesn't take responsibility. Right or wrong any ideas?

I was thinking the same thing, and a way we could do it is just have people in certain areas spread stuff about the dollars, and give out site information to certain friends and tell them to give it out. thats how we could do it. What do you think?

Hi all of you. You must be new here.

The Dollars do not require a leader for reasons we have discussed at length. We are a very open organization, and a common misconception here is that we are out to do good in the world.

We aren't. We have no overarching, mandatory goal.

Given we don't have an official goal, there is no point in having an official leader. But feel free to go ahead and do things with other Dollars in your area, if that strikes your fancy - you don't need a leader to do things, nor do you need a stated goal to do good. All that does is add an unnecessary "excitement" factor that ultimately amounts to taking orders from one person... which is hardly an open, self-moderated community.

Lol I guess when you look at it like that then it would be meaningless to have a leader with all of us spread out like this huh? Then yeah I guess your right lol thanxs :)

>288
you suck.

>>290 because he cares? ok.

>>290 Seriously. Are you asking to get raged on?

I fully agree no leader but... Yea i typed but...having no plan or idea on what we shud do will lead use to chaos an soon a death of the dollars. ... So »288 i think your only half right. Cheers have drink when u read this o_O °.D

>>290 kay :V

>>293 Well, we're built off the idea that we have no goal, which, rather than restricting us, gives us the ability to do everything rather than nothing.

It isn't a RULE that you have to do nothing to fulfill that goal. We have a lot of philanthropists on this site, particularly in the Missions board. You're allowed to do anything you want - there is no restriction on that, nor is there a driving point that you are obligated to fulfill.

Chaos does not necessarily lead to the death of a site. We've been going on for a whole year strong, and it's been fairly successful for what it is - an online community, and nothing more. Hell, the fact we have no expectation to meet means we meet expectations 100% of the time, heh.

Hey ummm whah do i do if i run into any yellow scarves?

Good one, do they exzist?

I like the thought of being a group full of people that holds the ideals of those who help others but at the same time i think it's good that we have freedom to do what we want...because thats what the ideal idea was...although I haven't been here for too long...so thats just how i feel

I think they do. I really dnt kno

lets look for them, if they exist then avoid them...

yes the yellow scarves do exist!!! they have a group on facebook there is also the blue squares too! haha and in my opinon i want a leader!!! it would be soo cool if we had one!!

We. Do. Not. Care. About. The. Yellow. Scarves.
We. Only. Care. About. The. Dollars.
Get. Out. If. You. Think. Otherwise.

How many times do I need to say this? Here, I put a period after every word that you need to memorize.

Which is all of them.

"This is not a fansite. If the yellow scarves want to act like the hormonal fucks they are and start a war, good for them, but I doubt they're going to be able to track all 70k of us down. If we stay colorless, they won't know who we are on the streets even if we see them with their puke-colored goddamn bandanas." <--there is that reassuring?

i dont think the yellow scarves exist anywhere where i live, or the blue squares

>>302 I don't care. This is the Dollars.

Why does everyone feel the need to bring the yellow scarves into our conversations? We're not a fansite and therefore should have nothing to do with them.

>>302 TAKE YOUR FUCKING SHIT ELSEWHERE.

we can bring it up if we want to. and for >>301 i.dont.*beeping.care.if.you.dont.believe.and.your.not.the.boss.kay
see i put period after every word that you need to memorize.

so keep your shit to yourself!

Calm down guys and don't they monitor these websites for language?! I mean seariously

Plz guys hear me out I've only been here for a couple of hours and I've seen how pple fight. I thought we would make a difference here but We won't if we keep fighting each other k? That's all ima say

Aw, are you mad because everything I say is correct?

Sorry to break it to you, but your posts are worthless trash.

fine, ill do it cuz you seem like a nice person. lets see if the other will stop too..

Look, if you can't follow simple instructions, or read any of the actual helpful posts that were SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR NEW MEMBERS, then you can FUCK OFF.

Why the fuck should people have to put up with all of this BULLSHIT from new people just because they were too fucking lazy or ignorant to read a few posts before posting their SELF-IMPORTANT CRAP ALL OVER THE PLACE?

You just wasted a post. We the Dollars are a colorless organization and we stand stong. There are no rules so we get to choose to whether we could help the people in the world or not but that would go against what we've beleive in. Read some of posts and you'll understand whatthe dollars really are!

>>317 Are you talking to me? Don't turn yourself into my next victim.

>>317 learn from other noobs mistakes, you fucking idiot.

>>305 You're not the boss either, and if you're going to misuse periods, state the reason and misuse them the right way. However, I speak for many members of the community by saying that it is a pointless topic that we should have nothing to do with.

>>317 ha!that proves it your the one that makes us fight! so stop being an idiot and shut your mouth!!!! its annoying and who cares if people are new!! i swear people like you will never understand the world!! it makes me laugh how stupid humans can be

>>317 Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

>>321 What. What useless shit are you sprouting now?

Try thinking of jaws music and it should help you be vary afraid.

May I join the convention?

JJust because of that name no you may not.

>>321 Excuse me, but did they just recently release you from the newly founded idiot ward in the pediatric hospital, or did you just get back from a brain surgery that went horribly wrong?

I am a member so I put dollar boy. Is something wrong?

YYes, the name shows extreme amount of fandom and makes me want to shout at you. But i do not know you, and i would rather not have to do that. Sooo before commenting on anything read the desc&faq thread, theres an index to all the important stuff you need to know on the near to last post, and just lurk for a while

Oh sorry for making u mad. I didn't know I really need to read the FAQ thanks

>>330 This... I... I have no comment on this.

>>331 at least he did it once he was directed and didnt just shove it off

yea

>>332 True. I'm just wondering how someone could not know to read the FAQ.

The dollars are so awesome, ^_^

hey kida im kida-kun

Read the FAQ first. You don't wont to piss anyone off.

:DD the dollars are amazing !!! :DD

Yeah welcome to the Dollars

Fuck reality bump!

Nbump

BUMPITY BUMP!!!

Heck yeah. The Dollars will become reality!

Heck yeah. The Dollars will become reality!

I know how you feel and I would love nothing more than the concept of the DOLLARS to become a reality. We could do so much but the DOLLARS seems to be nothing more than a silly little fan club. I was recommended here by my friend who joined for just that reason. We need to spread out more. We need to actually look for people around us who would actually benefit the cause of the DOLLARS. We need more good samaritans and less fans of the show. We need people willing to better themselves for the good of others. We should find those who would go out of their way to do a good deed or those who are willing to at least try. Otherwise, the DOLLARS is nothing but a lost cause. It is upsetting to think that an organization with as much potential as this should be doomed to fail because it was involved in an anime. It shouldn't happen. I have seen protesters waving dai-gurren flags to represent their cause. It can't be hard for a bunch of people to go out and do a little good. If we could branch out more and break away from being a fan site, I think the DOLLARS just might survive.

>>353 Tell that to the fans =o= But don't diss the site all together. There are those of use who care and do major missions and help others out. You just have to find your niche in the community and move on from there. Of course, not everyone is going to do missions, and we probably have total assholes on this site who want nothing but to rant about the anime, but there are people who are helping out.

>>354 I know this, and I am not at all disrespecting the site for what it is now, I just think the site could stand for some expansion. We should add those who would actually do missions or help people out. I just really don't want this site to be just a fan site. I think the DOLLARS could be so much more than what we are. I know I only recently joined and I don't have much room to talk, but I would love nothing more than to see the DOLLARS reach their full potential.

Bump

Bump

>>355 Pretty sure that its been stated that WE AR NOT A FAN SITE, despite all of this recent shit that's been posted from weaboo douchebags that have just watched the latest episode from adult swim and then google their way here.

I like this place and I think if we help a few guys here and there I say lets keep going do good and just be help when we can

Look, realistically, you could pass out fliers with the website url and password. The Dollars have no real rules. But, if you were to do that, you would attract many weaboos, trolls and spammers, and we would all have to kill you.

It's fine to invite people you know personally that would be good for the Dollars. They don't need to know about the anime, it could clear some things up but is in no way necessary. Just give them the site, the password, and tell them to check out the FAQ ASAP, lol. Also, tell them not to spread it like a dumbshit.

I think it's better as a secret web.

I think the website should remain a secret, but to people who aren't part of the dollars, we could try spreading little rumors, just to get us a bit of recognition.

not only the website but the Dollers to.

We should try to make it get the same reputaition like it had in the show!

>>1 i feel it is already a safe haven where people can talk as for us commercializing it by posting ads I'm not sure if that goes with the idea of being colorless, its like were saying he we are!! were that black poster with multicolored dots that spell out "DOLLARS" however i think that is cool to tell your friends about it ya know, word of mouth can be a all entirely potent means of making information accessed by a bunch of people.

>>364 Yeah, totally!:D That's why the Dollars were made into reality! Woot!*Fist pump*XD

bump

>>1 I agree with you. The concept of the Dollars can indeed help a lot of people, especially if we all work together to accomplish this. :)
ASA-san, thank you very much for posting this thread so as to inform the others that we are not just some fansite :)

it would be good but the idea of it being a organization is just way to big in my view. it should stay a gang. and if you want more people or want people to know about it just tell them. because where i live ppl would think it is over rated or just plain stupid.

Bump

Bumping idiotic bullshit off of main

Whoot, back up bump! ^_^x

Bump

Bump-tastic

Pretty cool!

I say keep it somewhat exclusive, but only SOMEWHAT

>>381 well, I say invite anyone you feel would understand and embrace the Dollars way. But besides that, I don't think the Dollars should advertise as it might bring in some...less that savory characters.

I always loved the Dollars in the anime and always thought they were the best out if all the gangs. That's why when I heard there was an actual Dollars website I immediately joined. I don't like how people think we're just a fan club because we're the real deal! And I'm proud to finally be a part of it ^^

You see, I was thinking about this the other day... I want to spread the Dollars throughout my school, but I'm afraid people won't take it seriously, or that it won't be exactly special anymore due to the fact that everyone will know...

Spreading the Dollars around you entire school doesn't sound like too great an idea. I mean, it's special to us all in some way or another, and I feel like it would lose some of that if all of a sudden everyone just threw the name around and what not. That isn't to say you just shouldn't tell anyone, just tell those who you think would understand the purpose. We all need to be a part of something. And this isn't just about an anime anymore.

I agree. We may not be a secret group, but we don't want to attract the wrong people.

bump~

Morning dollars! May I suggest all new members please read the topics concerning the FAQs and what this site is about may I also say I'm glad the arguing in this topic ceased and that a vote for if this a good idea should be done. :3 I'm also going to suggest that SS dollars if you haven't already go check out the countries tab and find out how many dollars are near you I think a good idea would be for the dollars in those areas to meet and come up with ways to 1 get members who won't be trolls and want to help involved and 2 establish bonds so that when something does go down in your city or town dollars can actually help and do something about it yes we all are all over the map but we need to make groups within cities within states that way if something major happens we are prepared

bump

I agree, agree, AGREE~~ I just would like to see members being more proactive, Dollars take a hand in making this world a brighter place and let it be known that the dollars are to be held responsible :D

>>391
How about no?
We're not wanting to be known. We don't want them to know who is doing anything. We're meant to be hidden, colorless. Invisible. Non-existent to the rest of the world. If all you're here for is to be seen by everyone in the world as a Dollar, leave now.

That's just my opinion. I'm not saying for you to really leave us. just my opinion on how you're acting.

I personally think we should simply continue to do things for others, but without making ourselves known, if we do, it has to be discrete, we are invisible, not meant to be spread throughout the world. That would defeat the purpose if we became more known

we can be invisible and still do great things. you said we don't want them to know who is doing anything, but that doesn't mean we sit here and do nothing. we can just do our part to make this world a better place and be good role models for other people which is what good citizens of the world should strive to do anyways. by being a member of the dollars we just have a larger support group. (:

The dollars to me means family. And if you wanna join, but I don't think we need publicity. It brings a smug smile to my lips when i finish a mission. Because 1) I'm helping and 2) I'm ninja lol
I think if we were to go public then the schools may try to disband us, block the site, shut down our missions and think were just up to no good....

You all keep acting like we don't do a damn thing. We've been doing shit. If you want more, do it. Don't constantly make stupid topics speaking the obvious. That also means for you to read the damn Missions tab before posting at all. We are doing good enough as it is.

Bump because we are doing something the Dollars are making a difference.

I am new here but I can already see that this is a group of people that just want to help others and the world.

You people make it sound as though we do things. Hahaha the Dollars are a great group, or at least we could be but we really don't do much. Just a group of people who want to do something and never.

>>DwebER you still don't seem to get it. THe Dollars do make a difference! If it's only one person at a time.

It takes a lot more then one to change the world my friend, and we have a lot more then one we just don't do anything about.

>>402
We do stuff, or are you just blind?

Not blind, like I've posted before I'm just realistic.

Your so called realism must be in your head.
We do what we can, and have always done what we could.
You must be blind to what we do, or else you'd see it instead of being a stupid Troll.

im pretty sure no one actually does anything, and just likes DRRR. calm down strange overly hyped fans who are pretending this is real.

>>406 Finally someone who talks with sense thank you Eden.

>>406
You should either stop trolling or GTFO if yoo believe that bullshit.
We have done stuff. Your opinions are just bullshit, which can't prove a damn thing. Either deal with it or leave us.

You*

lol i totally agree, eden

>>405 I agree that we do what we can

Also, how is it talking with sense? It's just trolls being trolls against people making the effort of working to make the world a better place.

We have proof we do stuff, whereas all you do is spew out the shit that is your biased opinion, that can't even be proven.

so what do you do then, out of curiosity, over then get overly sensitive at your fandom. i mean im here cause i like DRRR, you can just admit it thiamor

>>411 So tell me what can you do?

high five, dweber. high five.

If you're too retarded to read everything that proves it, then I'm not going to bother when all of the needed info is put on this site.

I also don't care who likes what. If you think otherwise about us, then what does that do? What, does your opinion have fucking power over us? Can it magically make us stop, whereas countless morons before you, failed? Learn your place before you think you've the power and right to tell us what we are. You'll fail like every other troll has failed and we'll continue on with our job. Doing what we can do, when we can do it.

go on and play your game of "We're a fansite" and see how far you get, and see how far WE get. See what we do, while you're crying in that corner, screaming we're nothing but fans on a fansite. We'll move on, while you won't.

Now, learn your place among us. See what power you actually do have, then turn tail and fucking get out of our way, or help.

>>414 Check out the missions thread for ways you can help and make a difference

i have decided to come out with the truth and admit that im just a fan. i am sorry everyone, really. i just cant stop lying to myself.

>>416

I like you. I remember you did stuff at some point that made me not like you, but I can't remember what it was.

I like you now though.

>>406 We are real and not a fan site. Its getting annoying that this keeps getting brought up.

>>416 Way to go Thiamor I havn't never agreed with anyone more. As for you DwebER instead of compaining why don't you try yourself.

Name: Eden : 2011-12-12 21:08 ID:LB0dM23h
Name: Thiamor : 2011-12-12 21:16 ID:LB0dM23h

You're new to the internet aren't you?

>>418

You do realize people can easily tell you're not me. We're not idiots like you think, kid. Most of us, are pretty fucking smarter than you're giving us credit for.

lolol obviously not, i just knew youd take it seriously and its very funny

>>419

It normally takes everyone a while to get used to me, where they can start liking me.

>>424
Kid, how do you know I'm taking this seriously? I've been around 4chan for a long time. I'm used to them. If you think you've pulled one over on me, I've already realized it. Kid, you're not on par with any Troll I know of. I've been laughing my ass off at your failure to realize this. It's pretty funny.

scooby doo.

>>427 Can we please get back to the purpose of this thread and stop clowning around.

>>425

Nah, I think its because I saw you being yet another one of the white-knighting assholes who show up preaching the whole "be nicer!" thing. Or maybe you didn't read a thread... I don't really know, to be honest.

Until someone does or says something I approve of, I can't be arsed to remember their name or identity. So I could be wrong, and mistaking you for someone else.

Probably when I thought someone was being too rude to a person. But I'm too tired to care, so I gave up being nice.

This group and it's point is simple, fix the world we live. Make it better. Nothing more my friends, Nothing Less.

J.P. like I have said before grow up

>>432 he grows at the same rate as everyone else, telling him to grow wont make it happen any faster. Idiot.

Everyones very defensive here arent they? Why not join a charity or major organization instead of one based on an anime and making it more serious than it is?

>>434 Eden I like you

>>435 glad someone gets it

its an idea with good intent behind it, but it seems more like a bunch of people who want to be in the DRRR dollars since it doesnt have much organization and you can, like, join any other charity or antidescrimination group if you care as much as theyre acting like they do.

>>436 Deeply offended by this. It's like you decided to be the most controversial douchefag the moment you set foot on this site, with no regard to actually paying attention to anything that didn't serve the purpose of denouncing our community.

As a whole, we do not actually require anyone to take part in philanthropy, and we aren't trying to become some sort of well-known charity organization. Where you got that idea is baffling, considering not only do we explain in detail in several parts of the site the true definition and lack of direction we purposefully take, but we actively discourage association with the anime Durarara, which was inspiration and nothing more.

I understand if you made presumptions based on meeting only a few members on this site, but you seem to have read this thread, and it's likely you've read others. The fact you chose to ignore everything but the most fanwank of comments is nothing short of disheartening.

I don't consider it my duty to explain to you what exactly we are, nor do I find myself in the right to. You can figure that out for yourself, unless you choose to continue down the path of being the incredible douchefag you have purported yourself to be, believing our sole purpose to be the emulation of an idealistic group of do-gooders based in a single city in Japan - something already far from what we have since grown to be from the very conception of the site.

>>437 Sometimes people tell me I am too wordy, or my thoughts can be condensed in an easier to understand manner.

In light of that, and your astounding ignorance, here's a tl;dr

Fuck you.

>>437>>438
I'm going to high five you real quick..

o/

>>439 How can you not want to? Misuto is awesome.

>>402
I agree with you considering HOW MANY OF US THERE ARE. However, even though the percentage of those actually doing stuff may not be large compared to the percentage of those who are, the actual NUMBER of those doing stuff is impressive. 5% of 1,000 is still 50, get my point? I think we could be more active, while remaining unknown as nothing more than just individuals in the eyes of others. To that point I felt in agreement with you, but then you start acting like a fuckball of slutcum and eating Eden's rotting cock of asshattery decorated with cries for attention. Hopefully, as time goes on I will be able to return to my previous [potential] good opinion of you.

>>406 >>410 >>418
As Ayanavi already pointed out in >>422, you are a samefag. You even tried to support yourself by samefagging Mars.
You are obviously 14 and don't know how to Internet; that or you just happen to be a complete dumbfuck. Either way, you are pretty pathetic and imagining your life is somewhat hilarious. Hit me with a comeback to make yourself feel better in a sad attempt to save some face, but rest assured, I couldn't give any more fucks considering it will only further the humiliation you are painting yourself in here, which, I am sure, is nothing compared to the trials you face IRL, or at least those you will face due to your impudence.
>>434 >>436
I could go on, but really, it is too easy, so just shut right the fuck up you stupid cuntrag. Acting like a smartass here won't make you feel like less of a shitstreak when you are trying to fall asleep at night.

>>440
It is true! Honestly, I know we are leaderless, but just who Misuto is and how he handles himself and everything on this site is what I would consider to be a leader. He is an example to us all and IMO one of, if not the most, valuable member of the Dollars. True leaders don't step up, they are raised to the position by the hands of those who respect them. I hope everyone understands what I mean by "leader(s)", as I am referring the term as it defines an individual person as opposed to the term as it defines the role filled within a group.

Anyway, back on to the subject of this thread!

i dnt even think i can go my friends

>>442
wat

Yes, please return to the main subject of this thread.
*bump :)

bump for order

bump

Admittedly I just found this site but from reading a bit of this, I wanted to get an opinion out.

Personally, I think The Dollars shouldn't have an 'official leader' or anything. Even though this site is different from the actual DRRR site, the whole part of it that seemed interesting was that it was a collection of people doing good who didn't need a leader to organize them. It's like an animal made out of single cell organisms working together.

Second, I don't think that this group is really JUST for 'Changing The World' or whatever but being new I could be wrong. I see it as a gathering of people where most have the desire to do good. To me, the good doesn't have to be as formal as charity work. It could just be going around and being a decent person to others, helping them out a bit if you see they need it, being a kind and nice person, etc.

Finally, do the Dollars even NEED to be official? I don't really see why The Dollars would need to be 'official' or gain notoriety. If you're wanting it to be an official organization to help people, then you're kinda defeating the spirit of it. You're essentially wanting people to say 'lookie here, we're The Dollars and we do good stuff! Appreciate us!'. People should do good just to do good. Who cares if they know it's from The Dollars or not?

Admittedly, I just found this place so if I'm rezzing a necrothread or saying a bunch of bs then I apologize. Just felt like contributing...

I just wanted to say we have no leader. We have a leader of the site. By that I mean an admin who controls the actual site. Not us.

Bump

This site "Dollars" is just a fan-made website that was originally created because of the anime "Durarara!" and was just created into a reality for people who they can relate to and communicate about the anime or manga.

But since ASA has brought up the idea of actually turning this into something like in the anime, maybe we should turn this into something like in the anime.
I think this site should also turn into something where people can communicate for help and advice for those who are desperately in need. But of course we couldn't change the world because there are a number of us who are from different location in the world and that its impossible for us to act since we can't even meet in person (if... you know what I mean).

But for those on the site who desperately need help can go onto this site and share their problem and that other people can help them. That is my kind of purpose of this site is for.
I mean, there are actually lots of good people on this site (I'm surprised) and I think this site could help a number of people who are in need of help. And this can change people's lives.

We sound like Anonymous...

@charlieNatch
yeah but a good anonymous

>>451
>>452

We are not Anonymous. We're not a good Anonymous. We're "The Dollars". We're not any other group. We are our own group.

>>450
Don't know who the Hell you think you are, telling us this is a fan site. I like what you said after, but what you said as a whole pisses me off. We help. We have helped. We're not a fansite. Get used to it.

bump? yes, bump!

Ba-bump

And again

bump

bump. thanks for doubles ultispy o/

I'm bumpin' dirty

but i like being secret....i dont know if theres alot of dollars where i live (NYC) but i like da idea of being secret cuz i feel like i have something no one in my school knows about....i dont wanna loose that

Interesting response.

bump

A council, each state should have a dollars council to check up on the "outer" members...

I agree, that sounds like a good idea.

Awesome idea ill spread it around

I totally agree with your concept :D it's what I've been feeling all along since I've been here

Exactly what most are thinking. It's a terrific concept, and being in reality could help so many people everywhere. The idea of this being a reality is amazing, but we need to work hard to make it a possibility.

Sounds like a Great idea!!

I don't get why everyone's going all deep into this "forming an organization" thing.

This is just my opinion, but shouldn't it just be a simple "hey guys, if anyone's in the area lets do something good". Doesn't really need to be a complicated mix of things.

As far as I can see, OUR Dollars is merely a message board where people talk shit to each other more often than usual.

bump! (･_･;

Bump~

Wonderful idea!

>>470 I totally agree and >>471 I agree a little bit.. -_-;;

Great words, a perfect supplement for ideas. The dollars will always be those who here makes us unique. But we are one big family for this''small world''.. =]

bump

Bump!

bump

Bump

I'm with you.

bleh..

Bump!

Well, I think the dollars should be out there, but don't tell them the password to the site. We want people who understand who the dollars are.

BUMP!

Bump.

I think that the Dollars exist because we are transparent. Think about it. We don't do thing to get recognition in the world. I feel that we should stay incognito. For giving out the password, I'm not sure if that's the best idea. What if some troll gets a hold of it? Then we'll be a laughtingstock. I think we should do what needs to be done and just take pride in ourselves for actually making an attempt to do the right thing and try and make the world a better place.

This post is awesome! We should really make the world a better place! >:D Let's try to help our fellow Dollars!~
Long live the dollars!

Bump

1Up^

I'm mad at myself for bumping stupid threads D:
So I'mma bump good ones and just leave.

nimp

many people might just think were a fan club or a rp group :p

The way I see it from the anime, The Dollars in a colorless gang with no rules no leaders. No one tells you what to do, there is no hierarchy, but they are there to do good. Some people will want to fight (who doesn't at some point?), but they do not fight. They help the community in an nonviolent way. There are times when it strays, but, when it counts, they'll go back to the right path.

That is what I see from the anime, and that's what I think this should be. I fear that some people will use this as a fan-site, and that's why I was hesitant on being here myself, but, after seeing people who are serious about this, my mind has changed. I still think this place should not be used as a fan-site or place for trolls. What can you do?

>>495 Ban them.

>>495 Or you can Spiderman them first, unless they're on Main.

>>498 Yeah, I would like that.

I...would like the idea of this more, but there are people out there that I know wouldn't appreciate the interference... if everyone were gladdened by the fact that there is a group like such out there, maybe i would support it more...i know it's pointless and somewhat silly of me to think that there is anything that everyone would agree that they liked (other than instinctual feelings) but... it doesnt do any harm trying to find a way to bring us all together in unanimity, that we can truly help everyone like the Dollars shown in Drrr...

I agree with no leaders and no recognition. Being known is not what the Dollars are about.
Everyone knows this by just looking on Main.

>>476 yeah I guess you could say were like a large, extended family! Other than that, BUMP this thread 'cuz its awesome!

bump.

>>1
>>450
If this was to REALLY turn into something anything close to resembling the Dollars in the anime, it would probably be wise to not use the name The Dollars. Nothing wrong with the name--I like it personally--but it will always be associated with DRRR and we will thusly always be written off as fanboys and fangirls trying to be in an anime.

>>503 Bump+

You realize we could just end up like those losers from Anonymous even if we actually do manage to recruit more people.
I only joined so I could find people with similar interests and not have to deal with trolls and stalkers so much - I agree with Camus, we get a lot of DRRR fans and mostly only that. Let's just hope Ryohgo Narita doesn't start panning the idea of this site...

>>505 Glad you agree with me,
but hey man, Anon isn't so bad-- just diverse. REALLY REALLY diverse.

I agree; we shouldn't classify The Dollars as a gang, or else people will resent us. We should call ourselves a loose organization.

I like the way you think, but it would be hard for people to be able to prove themselves capable of controlling the group and keeping it in balance. But I really believe that The Dollars 'organisation' can really make a difference if everyone chips in little by little. With all of the dollars conbined and working together, it can really truly make something great; just like when they were all working together to save anri ^.^

The fact is, that the harder this site tries to seperate itself from the anime, the more alike the anime Dollars and this site become, and the more DRRR!! fans are attracted to it. Especailly when the site has members that flip out if you suggest being more like the anime Dollars. Maybe we should have a line at the top of the site saying "Inspired by the actions of the Dollars in Durarara!!" That way people know where the Dollars come from, know the name of the show to look up more information if the want to, and they know that the site was only inspired by the show, and is not just a simple fan site.

Yeah i've been incorperating it in real life alot lately and ithelps but needs a bit of adjusting.

Well, maybe...
Nevertheless, there´s some things we should bear in mind in order to become this dreams into reality, shouldn´t we?
Firstly, the ideal of "Dollars" has been extended all over the world, so we can have some many problems with the idioms !In my opinion our organization ought to separate the Dollars group into basics groups of diferent idioms, because on this page theres no only english speakers also japnanese, koreans, spanish (as me), etc.
I have somo many ideas so as to improve this web and its sections, then if someone knows how to become an administrator, please tell me, and I´would be glad.
Afeter all, my intention is become this page into a way to investigate some things about the today´s situation and open sections in order to help people, and upload truly information that ,on this way, everybody can manage.
It would be fine !

What we need is a new way to get organized.Instead of being some website with just people posting opinion and writing names on posts people should be able to make actual accounts. next instead of using the drrrchat.com the website needs it's own chat that can only be viewed by members who use their actual accounts to log on.
Also we could do something like groups. We have make a group for each state or province and if the members live there they join this group.and then they elect 1 leader someone is online constantly and has good values and opinions. there would be 50 leaders and then out of them there would be a main leader elected. I know it sounds like a government type deal but it is a good way for a huge organization like this to get organized.however it would involve almost completely redoing the site.

@ASA u have a good idea but u need to be carefull some people want to take down the dollars

@Lyoko @ASA what about people who speak multiple languages like myself? Would people like that play a specific role in this? I'd love to help in any way I could!~

The Idea seems like a stretch, and might take a while to actually spread, but with enough people and publicity, it could be huge! and I agree, the concept is far to great to pass up. I myself have always thought that, however I've also worried that there aren't enough people who would take it seriously..

@Warhorse I want to know why people would take out a group that only does good and nothing else.. What would be their motovation?

>>513
No, just no. You are trying to put organization into a group that is literally intent on being as disorganized and unregulated as possible.
"We have make a group for each state or province and if the members live there they join this group.and then they elect 1 leader someone is online constantly and has good values and opinions."
1. How does one judge opinions and values? I don't care how much I like or dislike anyone here, but there will always hold some opinions that will always disagree with and there will be some that I will always follow. Saying that one thought is better than another is well...a dumb thought.
2. We have NO LEADERS. No one here is in charge of anyone else and this is how it will stay. Period.

"I know it sounds like a government type deal but it is a good way for a huge organization like this to get organized."
We aren't some "huge organization." Idgaf what the member count says, we have less than 1,000 active members, max.

"Instead of being some website with just people posting opinion and writing names on posts people should be able to make actual accounts."
Did you think that we don't have accounts here by accident or something? We are ultimately an anonymous group with very loose ties to one-another. I shudder to think about the level of stalking that would happen with an account system and how many dead accounts from Durarara fankids and delusional users would leave behind.

I want to be as polite as I can for the moment. I disagree severely on the image of this site as it exists in your mind and I will tell you that this in not something that will be sought after for very long if at all. This is not the montre that the group has chosen to follow. Now if this is something that you really wish to see, I suggest that you leave and spread your unthought ideas on a different site.

Dont Bump too much please ...

>>517
Why not?

My girlfriend and I bump almost every night.

>>520 pffffft

Bump.

Yeah you're probably right, but then...how can it be an Organization, if we are colorless and without rules...
I guess you have to change that first and I'm not seeing that happening in the near future, so...or we start an organization not linked to dollars or we change dollars principles completly...srry for some errors I've probably made...

It's probably a good idea to understand the level of success before you claim something can't be done - You're thinking on the wrong scale entirely. We aren't an industrial organization.

For that matter, we aren't even technically an organization. We are a community - A sentiment that is stated repeatedly by pretty much everyone here except the new guys and weaboos.

Organized communities do not need banners. Our rules our basic communication and netiquette - You shouldn't need to teach or tell people this. We rarely all work towards the same goal, but we often find different cells and members of our community working towards something as one.

Do your homework first, Sameshinzo. You're probably new, so while the sentiment is logical, all of these questions have been asked before - Reading the FAQ alone would have most likely answered this.

Being new isn't an excuse for being ignorant. Lurk more.

>>524 What do you define as 'new'? 'O'

I think the DOLLARS should stay as they, are a group of people interested in passing goodwill towards others, gathering likeminded individuals who all put their "Dollar" in the bucket for this simple and wellfelt cause. this is what makes the DOLLARS who they are and is the one thing about us that should never change.

I completely agree, all arguments aside the Dollars are the Dollars, and the people that uphold it.

I am also a newbie, but I did my fair share of lurking before I joined, read the FAQ's, and have an idea of what this site really is, so... Due to sheer embarrassment, I would like to apologize for my fellow noobs.

1, for being complete asshats and making no sense. 2, for being incredibly, unreasonably uninformed. And 3, for insulting senior members who deserve some respect.

Anywho...

>>1 I very much agree with this. I think that the Dollars could very well work in real life. However, and I know this has been probably been said before, the Dollars from the show were all in one small area. Not even a city- a section of a city. Sure, Tokyo covers a lot more area than some cities in America or whatnot, but even so... That's like, an organization centered in Chinatown or Manhattan. A small area of a city. That, I think, is one of the only reasons the Dollars worked so well in the show.

While we accomplish a lot, and we're all (most of us anyway) well-intentioned, the distance between everyone makes it a ton more difficult to achieve our goals and missions. Plenty of things can be done just online, such as donating, creating awareness, and so on. But as for the people who want there to be direct, DRRR-like action...
Not happening. Unless of course you have a lot of friends in the Dollars, or you live in a city and can arrange meet-ups. Often.

I suppose it just depends on your definition of "reality". There's the reality that means "something that is actually happening, or not fictional". And then there's the reality that is "not online, or in real life, in the flesh". The first definition, we have already accomplished. The second seems possible, but not very probable unless there is a lot more effort and organization put into arranging meet-ups.

This is all just my opinion. It's not set in stone, either. So if you disagree please feel free and let me know. :)

Hi! I'm new and wondering how it works. Is there really no designated head of dollars? that's so peculiar.

We have no real leader. Granted, if the admin of our site asked us to do something then a fair portion of us would probably trip ass to do it.

But he's a ninja and prefers that we be left to our own devices unless absolutely necessary - So yeah. Not centralized leader figure.

You realize this is bascially just a fanclub in a way?
I mean they're mostly anime fans, I have yet to meet someone who hasn't watched DRRR on this site.
Anyway, the chat literally says DRRchat. Heh.
I just thought of the Dollars as a place to talk... Good Dollars, Bad Dollars, they all meet here don't they (correct me if I'm wrong)?

>>532

What is the name of this thread?

Have you read this thread? Even seen it?

Or perhaps you're just another newbie who can't read the FAQ?

Research and know some context before you spout off things that will get you yelled at - If you can't, then you agree you deserve the flaming you get otherwise.

@532. Ive never read/watched DRRR. :3

>>23 ahem, those guys did good things on their OWN agenda. they don't speak for the entirety of the Dollars. some people are here to change the world for the better, some people are here to advertise, some are here cause they like the anime, and some are just here because they want to be in a group that you don't have to do anything to be in. because there are no rules, and no restrictions.

So we actualy do stuff? Awsome! A friend of mine introduced me to this, thought it was just a fan club, but if we actually do shit then hot damn, I'm all for it.

Totally doing this.

I admit that I wasn't all that motivated to do good things until I came across the Dollars. I guess I'm the sort of person that has to find a real passion in something before I move forward and take a step (though I am known to help almost anyone I come across if they're crying, but this may just be out of curiosity).
The Dollars originally came from DRRR, and because I am an anime addict, I decided to search up such a thing and happened to come across the website.
I like it BECAUSE it stemmed from an anime, and this I can relate to. In my book, I guess it makes it a better sort of 'community/organization/whatever' because we are based from fiction, but it makes it even better because we are not just a fansite, and we actually do good things also (or at least aim to try).
I'm not ashamed to admit that today, I started spreading the word about us to different people, and I even handed out some of those Dollar card templates with the motivational words on them to people who were feeling down.
The smiles and reactions I got made me feel all warm inside :D
From now on, as long as I don't lose my motivation, I'm going to try and help out a lot more in the community, and it really is thanks to The Dollars.

>>544 i agree

we are the Dollars we are real, doesn't matter if we public or not if we stay true to original dollars and are views then we will make a difference. the fact that u want recognition for doing something good does that make u a good person or begging for attention just live to be nice

Dollars will be the new foundation of organizations that aim to help others, with all kinds of needs. A group with no prejudices that strives to better the lives of people from all over the world.

And that is what makes it inspiring.

The dollars IS my safe haven.

the dollars can't be known by society, that would destroy the idea. they shouldn't know too much, it should be a hidden place where no one knows who one is. society isn't hidden, you could see the faces and know their names. that's the stupid part, it's more fun being unknown.

Agreed

^

I agree.

I totally agree, and one way this would work is do something such as post encouraging messages anywhere around the places you go, just little post-its telling people to have a good day, or in short summarizing the Dollars' goals. For example, a Post-it Note saying:
The world is not as bad a place as you think
-"The Dollars"

that would spread popularity to only those who are interested and make our ideals clear without actually revealing identities of any Dollars members.

This might actually work if everybody tries

the idea is great and will work if given the right amount of support for alll those of The Dollars.so give it a go and us of the doolars will give our support.

now this sounds awesome :)

I agree with you.

Bumping trash off, don't mind me.

reality is a about extremes, just because there are bad extremes doesn't mean no good extremes exist
the dollars are about showing people that those good extremes can be out there, even if it's just one person at a time, right?

When we get older, maybe we can spread some good around where certain supplies are needed, or where people need help, like in the Philippines. But we can start out in our own communities first and spread around the city that the Dollars is not just a transparent color gang, we could be a good transparent color gang. Like picking up trash and stuff like that whereas humans are sometimes too lazy to do.

Its refreshing to see people speaking like this. ASA, I agree.

Finally someone with good critique!

Bumping over super stupid shit

Do you really? Then what do you think, OP? What exactly do you think we should do with this new found "reality"? Are you suggesting we do something in the real world?

There is quite literally 50 saged threads under the ones bumped up. Just saying.

3up

hmmm... i like how it is you can say what ever you want but i'm going with the original idea

I think the idea of making "The Dollars" a true reality like in DRRR is a bit far fetched. Yeah it's a great idea that could potentially help some people, but it just doesn't seem like it could work very well. Online people are just fine, but once reality comes into play most people become much different then over the internet.

>>585
A lot of people have already taken this to reality and it works just fine, or have you kind of been completely oblivious to the entirety of the MISSIONS board?

>>586 What is this thread you speak of? /shot
Okay, how does one miss the Missions thread? Not picking on you, but seriously.

Now, we have spread into reality from the BBS. The other day I saw a Take What You Need poster at school. I'm not sure if it was one of ours, but I do know at least some people are putting things out there. I've done the Postcard mission a few times, as well as the Take What You Need. This shows that we spread.

Ack. That second line was supposed to be >>585

Well, I know if we want to actually start acting like whom we're here to portray. We dont have to start helping majorly. Maybe just stepping up in the community or even volunteering to help that old woman get her basker to her car. Just being a better person would contibute to the outer images dont you think?

>>587 It's not a thread. it's an entire sub-board under Main. Look to the left.. Sweet Jesus...

>>590 People have trouble differentiating board and thread. It happens.

>>590 Ugh. You know what I meant. I just had a brain spasm and put 'thread' instead of 'sub-board under Main.' Derp.

>>589 Yeah. This is a valid point. Like the quote says, "Be the change you want to see."

>>586 I'm not saying we can't do things to help, I'm just talking about going out en-mass and doing huge things like in the show I don't think is very likely. I would be glad to be proven wrong though.

last bump, done for the day.

dude a save haven were ppl can talk!? thats not gonna happen with all of this RP bullshit and all thoes thing, u really think that the middle school kids that hang here and talk stupid shit they are gonna help someone, nah i dont think so!

>>595 That's why we have to focus on those who actually want to do something and make an effort to do good.

Bump

BUMP OVER IDIOT

Everyone has been talking about what the Dollars do/should strive for and how the Dollars appear to them, but I think there is only one definition for the Dollars: Human.
We are the definition of diversity.
Even in our almost 200k members (most of which I'm sure aren't following this discussion) there are so many different types of people. And Even in the maybe 200-400 posting here (just a guess) You can see the different outlook on just this one topic.
I think the Dollars is about unity regardless of views, and freedom to choose. I am too tired to write much more, but I'll watch the discussion from here on out.
-Ro

Bump , also - post 600! yay!

i think the dollars should be active in the community, we could fend off bullies promote positive ideals, just be good people and promote our good image otherwise we would be looked down upon

>>602 OR, I could sit around naked and eat whole pizzas to myself.

bump

>>602 Go take a look at the Missions sub-board. There are plenty of people that are doing positive things for their respective community. I just don't think we need to advertise or anything like that. As I've said before, all the attention we need is for a few people in a community to know that someone did something good for the community, and that person was part of a group called the "Dollars". That's plenty of attention for us, in my opinion.

I think this is an amazing idea. I really like it. :)

Bump

I totally agree

Yeah cool idea might start putting posters around my town saying "join tge dollars www.dollars-bbs.com" or something like that wont givem the password though they have to find that out themselfs lol

>>609 I don't think we should advertise. The more advertisement we do and the more well known we become, the more people will want to join just because it's "cool". We don't need to become publicly known. Is fame and publicity the reason we do things to try and help people? I should think not. The reason we do these things should be, and should remain to be, simply because we feel that it is the right thing to do, and because there are so few people who are willing to do these things. We're not in this for fame or publicity.

>>610 I doubt anyone else will think joining Dollars would be a cool thing. And if they do, they'll end up like every other fan who thought it would be cool to join, out of the site in 1 day. Or less.

>>611 True, but my line of thinking is more down the line, as opposed to right at the start. But you do make a good point. I personally just don't think we should advertise. I am however, of course, open for discussion.

I think that we shouldn't fall from the path that we have already started. Let people find us on there own. I did, I watched the show then ended up searching it. But if we go outside and bring what we have to the world, we might get people who have ill intentions to bring down the group or think this is just a joke.

Hmm, I dont know... I have always liked the idea of being called a gang and being secret. I like how it works.

>>614 Well we're not really a gang nor a secret. We're more of a community than a gang, and we're not a secret because anyone who wants to find/join us can easily do so.

ahh so who is the leader of this group?

Lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

Theres pretty much no Leader... the hierarchy is a vertical line per se

>>616 we do what we want. : )

I'd just like to say I love the dollars. No one here has to do anything, no one follows any orders, were just a big organization of people. No direct cause or will, we simply exist for the sole purpose of existence. I know for a fact that if I ever really need help, I can count on you guys, but you don't have to help at all. There are no codes, or rules, or guidelines here. we simply are, if you want in, just say your a Dollar and your in.

Though what I really love, is that even though none of has to do anything, how so many of us still go to the mission board, and still do things to make the world a better place in the name of the dollars, where you scream about us to the sky's, or whispers about us to your selves.

I guess what I'm really trying to say, what I really love about us, is that none of us have to do a damned thing, but we all Want to do something.

Dollars rule and we do what we want

The thought process you had about this is very good, but I had one thing nagging at me when reading this.

I'm still in high school (the 10th grade) and did learn about the whole Dollars thing through the DRRR!! anime; I was a huge anime / manga / Japan fan in middle school, but have since fallen out of it because I learned I was annoyingly obbsessive about it. there are many students, though, in my school that are still annoyingly spouting the whole

"Oh my god, I love anime so much and I'm saying all these random Japanese things that I'm learning from these awesome animes and I'm so good at saying them I totally must be Japanese but my parents just won't say it and my name is totally not Sarah (soory to any Sarahs out there) but it's toally some desu kawaii Japanese name even though it's not on my birth certificate"

thing.

Don't get me wrong, everyone is able to have their own opinions and like what they like, it's just that fact that if the whole Dollars thing becomes as famously known as we want, there could be a lot of those children on here thinking this is just a DRRR!! fansite and that's all we talk about; they would probably skew all of what we're trying to do here, you know?

Sorry my thoughts are not complete (I'm typing this is class), but I just really wanted everyone to hear this.

>>622 No, that's pretty much what most of the Dollars who stick around think. I learned about this site through the DRRR anime as well and have introduced a few people to this site that I was fairly sure wouldn't go be idiots. Luckily, my friends and I only do the crazy anime fangirl/boy shit when we're with each other. I definitely don't want anyone who acts like that on here.

>>623 Thank you for telling me that, anubis. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

>>624 All the fanfags get chased off pretty quickly. After they figure out that this isn't a fansite they leave and never come back. It works out for the best.

i'm agree with you idea cuz i will be a good idea if at a future year we will meet at tokyo and the boss spend us a message like on of the episode in drrr but it's too unreal xD
So i thinks we must continue to help the others and maybe someone would have an other idea like that ^^
but if one day my idea is realized there must have a lot more people, at least realize the goal of having more dollars registered

are the ones in the dollars only fron the usa/england or is someone from germanty?

>>627
No Germants here, but there may be some Germans, and some Filipinos, and some Canadians, and some Peruvians, a little bit of this and a little bit a of that.
Check out the Countries Board Index Thread to see where many of us hail from. The Index can be used to find the thread for your country where you can post, BUT DON'T CREATE ANY DUPLICATE THREADS. >:3

I want people to look up to the Dollars... Just like on the news in DRRR, the Dollars's member clean up the world secretly LOL

I'm actually excited to see this happen in real life. the concept is amazing and I personally want it to be reality.

I would love to see the name 'The Dollars' be known in a positive connotation but not just cause of durarara but because of what we have done with it

I do agree with this statement. I want to know is there a chance to contact the people who lives near in your city? How will you do that? I mean... you can start flashmobs to know each other sure... but I´m not really sure wether that works... besides I live in Germany =]

Would love to see this become an actual thing

- From England :)

That would be awesome!
If we could actually make it a real thing, that would be really cool!
It's just going to require a lot of work to make it become "the real thing."

We are not called "The Dollars" my friend, its just "Dollars" itself

We are not called "The Dollars" my friend, its just "Dollars" itself

We are not called "The Dollars" my friend, its just "Dollars" itself

We are not called "The Dollars" my friend, its just "Dollars" itself

Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all man. Getting more people shouldn't be that hard here in Maryland there are tons of Otaku and arty people.

I'm definitely going to convince as many of my friends to join up!

I think we should have permanent threads for each area. This way we can talk amongst ourselves and organize a little. We can do more widespread projects and collaborations this way.
Don't you guys agree??

>>642 AGREEEEEEE :D

I completely agree~ but who truly created the Dollars in the real world???

Well, me and a mate at my school have begun to help around at the school, we have done thing's that no one has known about, people just assume that the cleaners do it, we have also been leaving a few sticky notes around the place, with the moto on it c: I just hope that it will leave a message out to the school

>>644 I want to know too but I'm sure we have no leader :)
>>645 I like the idea of leaving sticky notes but what happen if it fall on the ground lol people will mistaken it as litter or something... :/

are we going to do something like in the anime???
coz i want to do somethinglike that...

bump

I'm 'recruiting' friends through Facebook and youtube, but it's still a far cry from reality...

bump

I think that a lot of people here in this group are mixing up reality and durarara.
I think that the "invisible" and "colorless" concepts are too difficult in many aspects because a lot of people don't agree to good ideas just because of it.

>>652 true

Real life has more rules than Durarara

>>654 Yep..Like gravity for Shizuo as well :°°D

This is an interesting thread so I just thought I'd bring it to the top again so maybe more people can share their opinions and discuss ideas.

>>656 I've been here for years, and there were many good posts from the past that need to be brought up again. Thank you for bringing back up one of them.

i really like this idea, i would be down to do this.

Same with >>658

Yessssss

i love this idea...i know when i first started i would constantly be checking the MISSIONS section of the site and contineusly try to complete them....if more people did that, it make the dollars that much more of a force of good rather than a force of secrets

>>661 I'm so 👍 with you~ I've tried one of the missions , the one where you stick the gang's quote somewhere on the wall. And I received a thank you on the paper:-) I wonder if he/she have joined Dollars yet☺

Agreed.

This idea is great I just everyone would go through with it. I actually had same thought when I joined. I also tried some of the missions and they actually have an impact on other people.

I would like for this to happen it sounds fun

The concept might be all nice and dandy but the difference between the reality and the anime is that dollars in the anime are spread only in one town,, we are all over the world, its not like we are concentrated specifically in one area. Also dont forget that if dollars do become a big thing, it maight backfire by some unsavory individuals doing some nasty stuff in the name of "dollars".

bump

bump

This idea is great, I love it.

bump

I agree! This is an awesome idea.

Yes!!

This is a great idea! I will support it gladly!

That's not a bad idea!

In my Opinion the Dollars are fine as they are. I don`t want to offend anybody but when you post something like "well I did this and that and we should change the Dollars in this and this and this way" Then I ask myself why ? If you do all this good stuff then why change something ? It is clear to me that nothing is perfect and to not evolve means to become useless over time but this side is far from that point and to this whole recruiting thing i have to say that we just don`t need it we are many all over the world and we are getting more members over time it is not like you can say "yeah we need so and so many people and then we achieved something" And about the logo/symbol thingy well i think we don`t really need to discuss that too because everyone has his/her own opinion about that and in this way it neither gets too much or is completely abandoned. In my opinion it`s human to want something for doing something and respect i such a thing but that`s not the idea behind the Dollars as I think of them sure everyone can interpret this Group in their own way but in the end in such discussions always comes at least one person and says "but we are the colorless and transparent " I wouldn`t change that because my point is the Dollars are doing good stuff and the more people get inspired by it the better it gets

I am from the future and I know what the destruction of Earth will be trust me in know.
All I can say is "watch out for the green eyes in the sky." Thank you

>>676 No roleplay

Ah this seems like a good idea~ though I like the idea of being in a huge Colour less gang, this is also good~ ^^ well this will definitely be interesting~

>>677 Hey, (s)he has a point. If I saw green eyes in the sky, I'd certainly be watching out.

This does not belong on main, please post on random, sage all further responses.

>>680 Dude, this has almost 700 replies. Is it a pointless thread? Sure, in my opinion it is. But obviously a lot of members think it's important enough to post in. Also, this is arguably a a topic that applies to all Dollars users, so it belongs here more so than on Random.

/Sage if you want to. I didn't.

I personnaly live in France, and there is nobody from the Dollars, or people who know Durarara TwT
I hesitate to try to post notice from the Dollars in my school because of that and of the lot of bad people we have in there....
What do you think ? Can i try ?
P.S.: Sorry for my "bad language" x'D

SOW here from California, I was thinking of making this a thing around where i live ,so It shall happen...only the chosen,nothing more,wouldn't want the undeserving sheep in my town on such a wonderful page,just the ones under my disposal,The dallors in reality could easily be a reality.A way for the invisible to stay invisible but still heard (understood).So just why not accept that the dallors are really, we're the dallors and we can organize events for causes we find worthy Czech who's with me?

>>683 you can invite your friends

>>683 I am french too, now you know someone new lol.

Hey Shepard of Water, kind if I ask what part of California you from? I'm in the Sacramento County area and it'd be cool to meet other Dollars in the area.

i was thinking about making some sort of app for new people that basically it tells you what this group is like a video or something. what do you guys say because i am up for it.

Okay ^^ Thanks for your advice !

Still it wouldn't have to be done at all if the people actually come here after watching drrr..they'd already know what this website is after all...just let them know it isn't some old school fanpage like that one jigoku shoujo one.. Ah well

Not something to waste.

This thread is nice: I like the no-overall leader idea. I don't think of this as a "fan page", so to say anymore. The Dollars was a group for people to talk and to do good, and I believe that it would be nice for this to happen in this place too.

It would be nice if there was an app for this too.

Hello all i can say is im pretty sure a lot of people who are in the dollars can agree with you and are willing to help others XD thats why i love the dollars and the community in it and yes the dollars are a really good idea and its gonna be around for a long time XD

I Love your idea! So i'm willing to help make it happen! You guys are awesome

hello ^^

Well at first i personally think this is just some fan trying what the anime does to real life. but it's actually something.. lot of people love this idea.. but most of them not serious about the idea

Lets make it happen.

here's an idea. make a paper. have the link on a bunch of little long rectangle pieces of paper on a larger piece of paper hanging from a wall , so anyone whos just walking by can just snick a piece.

can be hung at school, library public places anywhere, otherwise I think we should only personally give the link to others we can trust with our life/under an extreme circumstance.

we need to make this beyond an Organization.

bigger.

Ideas?

>>709 I recommend the propagation thread.

hello

I just read the whole entire thread and I honestly agree with the idea. I'm going to keep my membership a secret though and just do stuff for the community. I'll let them know it was from the dollars. I don't know if anyone will join with me in my community but I can do it by myself.

I agree with this. I don't plan on telling anyone anytime soon that I am a Dollar, but I will leave around little notes basically explaining the Dollars around my city along with the website, my name (on the Dollars site at least) and maybe the password, unless I just want them to figure the password out on their own. I'm a proud mid-eastern NC dollar and I wear a Dollars necklace, so all you (anyone) has to do is ask "What color is a dollar?".

Bumppppp

(QUESTION: In the second season of the show, doesn't Mikado try to change the Dollars to be more kind, but still make it so they have no rules?)

This seems like a great way to get more people to join.
I could try to put up signs in my school, if I'm allowed.

I Agree with what the original post was saying but if you think about it, this website isn't so secret. You type in dollars and this is pretty darn close to the top. Type in Dollars Durarara, bam, what do you get? Us. Of course, I do think we should spread out and becoming more opened. If we could do that we would surely bring more attention to the good we do, but there is also a certain beauty in the fact that we are pretty much unknown. It means that those who want to help aren't looking for any sort of reward, because there is none. You go out, raise a few hundred for a cause, you aren't going to get your name plastered all over the internet, you get some recognition here most likely but you would also feel amazing about what you did for others without even asking for anything back. That's one of the things I love about this website and I don't really want to lose that aspect but I do also understand the desire to expand, as I said before. Many might agree or disagree with me and that is perfectly okay.

I think we should continue to do the good we are doing, but we should not prompt the idea of "Oh, You should join us!" But instead something more positive, that we are something more than just a "gang" or a "organization" instead we are a community and we should promote that. We should promote the idea that we do good and that we help others, friends and strangers. And as >>1 said, that we are a "safe heaven." If we are going to promote ourselves I would like to see something slightly more invite that just trying to get me to join. I would want to see something that makes me thing: "Wow, These people seem so nice! I would love to join them!" Or something like that.

But that's just how I feel about the question. This was a very interesting thread and seems to have sparked much interest within the group :)

/Sorry for misspellings and grammar mistakes. It's stupidly late here

I'm new too, due to some research I found the password, ahh what a sight for sore eye's this sight is.

Well, we already have a google map of Dollar locations, and possible chats for Dollars in the area. That in itself is an amazing feat of trust over internet relations. The possible problem though is there are people who give the password to those who ask. It's very nice, but that leaves some room for some bad guys. There are even YouTube videos with the password.

I absolutely love the concept though. I wonder how we can help people though? Petitions and stuff are great. But if it was a real-time problem then there would have to be a way to answer pretty quick.

Bump this post times 1000, this needs too happen!

Preach

I'll say let's make it happen...I mean why not. If the Dollors is a good place than, we do what's good for the people. That's what I think. No rules and no leader that sound pretty good to me. Even the last thing people want is someone control them right? I mean I'm totally in to the idea. Let's make in reality what u say people?

making the dollars a reality is a great idea, just take personal action by volunteering and putting up posters or anonymously giving out the password to good people. if anyone is willing to chat I made a room on http://drrr.com to share ideas

I think the Dollars would thrive in a society like this, people that need help but can't find out what to do, it can be a safe haven. As a colourless gang with no rules or leader, it could be anything.

Maybe it would be good to make a new Group or Gang or whatever you like to call it which operates in reality like it was proposed so many times by Dollars who felt like they couldn't really do something good through the Dollars. I think said Group had to cooperate tight with the existing Dollars but with some kind of system like: In this Country is a Group of 50 and there are two states then there are two people who each coordinate one of the states and one who coordinates the country, one for the continent and in the end one who coordinates the continents. But they don't control the members of this Group but make eventually bigger ideas happen and like I said coordinate them.

Haha its great to see people ready to take this idea seriously i think creating another new site to hell push this idea is a great idea. Like a fresh more organised group who can help guide the growth of our little community

Im ot sure how these chatrooms work but im more than glad to talk about ideas on how to grow

I agree! This is a seriously good idea! If the Dollars really did become a true online gang!

I am all in for some more discussion on this topic. I think,aside from this quite large community on here doing what we can, we can take the Dollars even farther. I obviously dont mean somewhere out of the grasp of reality, but we could expand out into the world a little farther. Make it more known that a group, The Dollars, is out there doing everything we can to make the world a better place. That is all. A collective, or gang if you want to call ot that, bring good and hope to the world. )

hecho.

If someone is interested we already have a discord group plaining all already. Please leave your username if you want to be part of it.

Haha im in whats the chat called

>>755 What chat?

~do you know the cat in the (c)hat?

I'm in and i will love to join The Reality of The Dollars

I love the Dollars so much. Bringing something that's not real into the real world is very interesting and exciting!

Email me at sdzear@yahoo.com. I have a kik room set up for serious members. Already got quite a few members. Just email me your kik name and I'll add you

>>753 think you could leave a link to the discord chat?

I think The Dollars are whatever we want it to be, is some of us want to just screw around then that's what they do, and if some of us want to help out then we do that.
To me, that's all there is to it

how to create dollars account?

or Dollars didn't have account system??

I think all the ideas I've seen here on this post are excellent. Granted, it will take some effort on our parts, but if we all work together we really can make a difference.

I'm willing to work towards this. Is everyone who is serious signed into the group chat? We could make some serious progress just on there. This is not for debate, I am merely stating facts.

The dollars need the members before we can progress into this colorless organization you speak of. Given we do have a lot of members already, but how many are local to each of us? When you bring up the word the dollars to any ordinary average place do people really think of an organization. The answer would primarily be no. We need to change that before we progress into something more than just a chat.

Where do I sign?

hey black reaper i like your ideas

By inviting friends, and standing up for what you believe in about the Dollars, my friend. But remember since the Dollars have no leader and no rules the Dollars are what YOU, make them. And by the way Thanks, Natedogg.

I want in! I want to be part of something extraordinary. I want my life to have a purpose. I want to help as much as I can. Let's make this world a better place for future generations. I want to be part of the dollars!

About what has been discussed. The dollars have no rules, and ruler/ boss. But in this reality we all have rules to follow. So what I say to that is, do to others what you would like to have done to you. Basically, stay good and good will come to you. ^-^

The dollars stand for good, only the bad people will have the punishment of this reality punch them in the face. That's why the dollars are perfect the way it is.

No rules meaning as long as you do good, no rules are needed.
No ruler/bosso meaning we are our own ruler of our own path of life and ways.

The dollars are perfect the way it is.

This is a wonderful idea! I'd love to make this happen!!

Ya we are an interesting group, but we can be much more.

Uwaaa... it's maybe more like, the one rule of the Dollars is to help others..? Ah, but it's still really cool to see how many people are so eager to help others!!

this is so cool

This thread was originally made as the Dollars was just beginning, I think, so it's interesting that it's back up here!!
Anyway, as far as making the Dollars a "real" thing, I'm going to repeat what is already here (sadly.) Getting together a group of people to join the Dollars is a great idea to get going! This way there's no confusion over who is and isn't a member. As many times as this has been said as well, making and participating in missions will make this a reality.
So, yeah. I know I just summarized what's already on here, but recently I've only really seen people bumping this thread and not contributing.

>>780 I totally agree with you, AMD to the ideas for the start of this big thread. Say someone makes the BUS an app (if that hasn't happened already) and we could try to make the Dollars more renowned. Call it dreams, but I love the idea of the Dollars and I would love to see it catch on some more. ^~^

I love the dollars. I love you guys. I just can't say it enough. Ya but as said before we need more members if we are to bring things together as an organization.

I agree with you guys on making the "Dollars" a reality and expanding the "Dollars".

yeah i agree at the most part of it all.

So does anyone have a plan to actually implement? Something where people can get together and do things in real life?

We would need more members for that in our local communities since the dollars are world wide so that should be our first course of action recruiting more members.

You mean start local?

sounds good
