Things are getting rather interesting. LulzSec, Food Not Bombs, Anonymous, Real Life Superhero Movement, Tea Party, We Are The 99%, Occupy Wallstreet Movement and it's sister movements across the country are on the rise and garnering attention of the public eye. Much is taking place, and it makes me wonder how the Dollars play into all this.

Sadly, I am of the opinion that the Dollars are almost completely nonexistent in the real world. Intangible groups such as LulzSec and Anonymous as well movements with uncertain goals and/or direction such as We Are The 99% and Occupy Wallstreet Movement are far more productive and affect the lives of others far more so than the Dollars even try to claim. Even by combining this BBS of the Dollars with other sister groups of the same name and charter, we barely make a blip on the radar outside our own fantasy of the Dollars being a viable organization.

This may be due to our origin, a fictional online group of random individuals from an animated series with a fanbase of mostly 12-18 year olds. This may be due to the lack of seriousness to our charter(s) and the overbearing satisfaction gained through imagination and fantasy. This could be due to the Dollars never being a true group at all; rather, a bunch of fanboys and fangirls averaging an age of 14 joining websites and imitating characters from an anime, posting up fake stories and tall tales for attention, scattered with a few trolls and even fewer individuals who seriously see the concept of the Dollars outlined as a basis for a positive social movement that COULD actually occur.

I wonder if believing the Dollars has the potential the latter hope for is ignorant and doomed to disappointment and half-hearted efforts. How many of us have participated in a single mission or equivalent good work outside of those that we would do without the influence of the Dollars? My guess as to this answer saddens and scares me; I too am guilty of sitting on my hands and doing little, waiting for someone else to step up and say, "As the Dollars, we should..." and further filtering out those suggestions based on what is or is not convenient for me.

Complacency reigns over our lives and we justify it through poor imitation and empty words. Where is the passion that the aforementioned groups and movements have among our ranks? Where is our drive and dedication to our charter? Do we really lack so much that the Dollars will remain nothing more than a congregation of children playing pretend, fated to never venture out of our comfort zones until we dissolve and disperse from dying interest?

Even with no clear objectives, motivation goes a long way. Each member of The Dollars could very well pursue their own interpretation of our mission statement. Every individual could become a faceless contributor to good will. This talk about us trying to be recognized through the use of wristbands, t-shirts, etc is utter shit; I'm sorry, but it is! Are we really so concerned with recognition, that we will hesitate to make a difference in the world around us until we can receive credit for doing so? If so, then are we really the Dollars? I would like to think we are. I would like to think that we, myself especially included, will step up our game and honestly pursue a better world.

I think it is time we stop kidding ourselves.
We are the Dollars!

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!

YES!!! but this belongs in missions

>>3

I think so too, which is why I am going to repost it there; however, I feel this is a pertinent enough issue that it needed to be on the main board for all to see.

>>4 Good point, I just wanted it said so the mods didn't have a chance to >:D

>>5
I understand, and thank you! Actually, we should try to create as much buzz about this as possible. If the issue of re-evaluating ourselves and our cause is pushed to the side and dies, then I think all the questions stated above will be answered and my faith in the Dollars will be lost.

I know you guys feel this way, its inevitable. But you could be proactive and make it real. Start fulfilling missions on the mission board. Get other people to do the same.

If we were active in a way than I would say it would be the best... My area is full of Dollars members, but the problem is we have our own things to do first...

>>8 i understand i have things to do too and i always find some time to help one in need or give something of my self

I already posted this under missions,, but since it seems I'm the only one paying attention to it there I'll post it here too.

I know how you feel. There have been several times when I have wondered if this is little more than some online game of sorts. I have gone out of my way to do some of the missions, but working alone in a large city seems to make no difference. It shakes my reslove at times, but I think if given more time that we could find a way to make a difference. You just can not expect it to be on the same scale as groups like the Anonymous and LulzSec. It's unrealistic to beleive that at this point and time we could gain the same notabileity.

Ah, no. It's a topic of discussion, is it not? It belongs on main just as well.

Anyway,

It's great to see someone with as much drive as you on this site, willing to go out and do things for the greater good - but I think you may have joined with a misinterpretation of ou charter in the first place. I'm a little insulted at the accusations, though I understand it was only meant to catch attention; the Dollars are no actually a group of philanthropists at it's core. Nowhere on here is here an official statement saying our purpose was to better the world, and there never has been such a decree. We are as basic as a community gets. We are simply here for our other members - if they need help, we help them. If not, we're just here to chat.

However,

I believe if you really wanted to, the Dollars could be used as a vehicle for great achievements. With enough participation, things could get done around the globe, stemming from our members. The reason I said what I said above was to remember one thing when you go out and accomplish these endeavors: remember your humility. What makes us different from some of the organizations you listed is that they purposely draw attention, some in a shameless manner. Don't advertise us as a radical group of world changers, and don't act like that's what we are.

Just do it. No flashy campaign, no reinterpretation of our lack of a mission statement. The beauty of The Dollars is that they have no goal, but the potential for any goal. We aren't defying our creed through inactivity, nor is inactivity our creed in the first place.

Bottom line: I support your zeal, but you haven't the right to accuse other members of something they were never expected to do in the first place.
Even so, I'm sure many members would be glad to stand up for a cause if the need arises. Just say the word (in the missions board).

hi

It is an honor to join the dollars!!!!! I'll do my best to show the good side of the Dollars!

>>7
You are exactly right. As I stated, I am included in the charges. I too need to step up my game. That could be completing more missions to a T or creating new missions that vary in degree and objective. Perhaps, increased activity can be achieved quicker through baby steps; simpler missions that require less of each individuals yet have a greater impact once all the efforts come together, like making one or two PB&J sandwiches and giving them to the homeless on the side of the road once a week or asking a cashier or clerk how they are doing today and wishing them the best of luck each time you make a purchase.

>>10
You are right. It is unrealistic to think the Dollars could achieve a height such as those groups at this point, but we shouldn't let that deter us from pushing to reach that point. Although, I don't think we should try to gain the publicity those groups have.

>>11
THIS! THIS! THIS! THIS! THIS!
Excellent points and excellent intuition. I would say I am sorry for the accusations, but I am not. My intent is not to insult; rather, it is to stir. A challenge is before the Dollars, and I need to be a part in overcoming my own challenge. I am guilty of my accusations just as much as any other member.
You are correct in pointing out that what I have interpreted as the charter of the Dollars is not necessarily accurate and you are absolutely correct in standing up stating your additional points. Although it is directly stated, it is an underlying ideal, I believe, to be held by most of the Dollars to some extent. I do not have the right to point fingers, but Dollar to Dollar, faceless to faceless, this is inward inflection on the Dollars as a whole. Do not mistake my vive for anything more than passion. I do not think less or others or more of myself and my convictions are just as pertinent to me as they would be to another.
Thank you, Misuto!

The major difference that should always remain a part of the Dollars, which separates us from the groups and movements I had referenced, is exactly what Misuto stated, "We are as basic as a community gets." We are not a radical group. We are and should be a passive, level-headed community.

there are a total of twenty-four dollars in my little town. we have litterally done almost all of the missions that we could find. but we dont veiw this community as a place to get missions and only missions. this is a place to hang out, discuss things with people that share our interests, help people that happen to ask for it...this place is here to have fun. thats my opinion anyway

>>11
^THIS

I entirely agree.
Also...
We would need alot more resources..and a larger locality of members to do the things that those groups do. I follow ANON and LulzSec and the other groups..and while I think they are great..some of their methods are a bit unorthodox.

In Addition..I don't think..we..as the dollars want the type of recognition that those groups gain. We wish to make the world better..yes.but without all of the publicity and media distorting us and what we are supposed to be.

Were just a blog group. so you can call us fakes which wouldn't be a adequete term.

>>16 Yah, I agree with Forte-Kun. The Dollars like to remain Anonymous, only making our presence known if we choose to. Working behind the scenes to help the world, one step at a time. We don't need media recognition or anything like that. We just want to help. Not too many people in my town who would want to do any of this though. They're more interested in the gangs that beat up people and hang around in ghettos, not the kind that help people.

>>15 I agree with Hikitori. We can do good, but that's not what the group as a whole is about entirely. The Dollars mean different things to different people, it always has and it always will. I guess all we can do is participate in what we think is worh participating in.

But, this is all my own opinion. Feel free to disagree if you want to.

some people think im crazy for taking the dollars seriously

Not at all. I seriously think we could make the dollars a reality

>>22 we are a reality, it depends on the members. some of us do the missions, some of us don't. You don't have to be told to do the missions against your will, it's your will and we respect that. So truth is we are real in all, it is only fake to those who don't actually take part in it. (and i don't mean just the missions)

If the Dollars weren't a reality, this site wouldn't exist, we wouldn't be on here, and I'd be a fairy princess.

I was implying for the dollars to become part of the social media like other gangs

>>25 then read the Dollars Notoriety and purpose thread.

True

AMEN! I was thinking of the same thing actually :D Glad others feel the need to act. LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN PEOPLE!!

fucking damnit....

Yeah i agree 100% in a way it already is.

i was agreeing to post 22

People should agree with post 11. It explains so much shit about us.

Should I be happy that some derp bumped this thread with a 2-3 word post agreeing with it from a month ago, as opposed to just making a new thread entirely?

I... I am confused.

Bump~~

Hmm... Maybe, we should at least know a little of ourselves..? Like, where are we really in this world? It's harder to work alone that's why we group together as Dollars so that missions will be easy.

I AGREE!!!!!!!! :D

Why we do show do real traits and i have only been here for a short period of time and this post may never be read but, what if we can't band togeather our selves, instead we ally other of these orginazations like you said, lulzSec, Anonymous, ect. for we have a big fan base (or some of people with many "names") so we could help out, not just set at our computers and be like ohhhhh it my birthday lets post that!!!!...

Aren't we a bit older than that, i mean you had to get the password or hack the sit to get in in the first place.

What are you talking about? We are doing really good things. If you don't like Dollars, why dont you just leave?.. I really love this peoples in here. All of us want to do something good. And i know good peoples like MrKanpa. Its just an example. We are dollars. Not much. But I agree with Cateleya.

>>11 and the response in >>14 deserve a bump

>>39 There's another thread in Missions though... So decide which to keep bumped and let the other die.

>>40 both threads are making good points so there is no need to let one live and one die. Plus these are the kind of threads we need in ever board otherwise we are never going to progress and all the points on here will fall to the wayside.

Unless Im mistaken aren't they saying the exact same thing? If so, that is the exact reason to only let one live

DOLLARS SUCK DICK

>>42 More exposure comes from both threads since not everyone visits the same boards.

Also >>43 really?

Why would somebody say that on this site?! They can be traced lmao

its kinda true though sadly

well if we want to make this group a real group we need to actually do shit and not just post on a site. you do have a valid point. so if you want a real dollars group get up and do something about it!

>>47 well said :)

I completely agree. We need to try and get noticed a little, so people actually know of us.

I agree with Chrome. Do shit, but also remain true to how the Dollars are supposed to function.

you got what i have been thinking ever since became a dollars. i myself have done alot of good deads here iv done missions and more. but i have always thought to myself is the dollars real of not. the chat rooms dont show any sign of showing the concept that we reposent. so basiclly i think you are right.

>>43, get a life. seriously. this is not a fan site and no one cares about the portrayed dollar-scarves rivalry in Durarara. this thread is about what we can do (or should not do) in actuality to try and help people(or not) rather than a "let's do it exactly like the anime and go beat the shit out of assholes" thread.

>>43 he's a dick, argument settled

>>53 acceptable summary

The fact of the matter is we haven't seen enough results. We need more organization when dealing with missions. We do not need direct recognitions, I have already said this. its the indirect recognition thats important so we just need more people performing theses missions with more noticeable results. I already posted on the missions board about this but I will repost what I said.

If we use the mission board as our central commanded and then split off in our regional cells to preform these missions in our cities or towns. "think of the regional cells as groups of organized dollars in the same place" we could make a huge difference. could you imagine the impact we would make if 2 or 3 groups of 5 people in every city across the nation were to do the
same thing at the same time. the impact
would be huge. of course though this
would require some organization but it
is possible.

its sorta like the Occupy Wallstreet Movement. if it had only been
the group in New York it wouldn't have
been such a big deal but it resulted in
hundreds of groups across the nation
doing the same thing. if the dollars were
to function like this we could all make
more of a difference. now its jut a
matter of people coming up with
missions that are feasible and a bunch
of us setting up smaller groups of
dollars to function out of. for the hell of
it the smaller groups could be thought
of as quarters, dimes, or pennies and as
a collective whole we make up the
dollars. Also I relize the dollars dont represent currency I just found it clever to think of sub groups like this.

The point is we can make an impact. We just need to take the missions more seriously if you do choose to help.

Another one of these? -.- Someone please permasage this already

Another one of these? -.- Someone please permasage this already

>>58 This was the first one. >>56 just bumped it.
Try to 'read' before 'responding'.

Dollars is somewhere where we can all relax and do whatever we want not an ideal that everyone's suppossed to follow

http://dollars-bbs.org/main/res/1318907251.html

READ or GTFO

Try organizing a dollars group within your communities or schools. More effective and fun accomplishments can occur when close knit groups work together to better the community

>>62 yes, simply put. Love it.

Finally a relevant post. I am glad someone posted what we were all thinking.

bump

We really should do what we can to really be the Dollars. Starting with small things and then getting bigger. It's almost Christmas and such so as Dollars we should be doing things like donating food and clothes and helping out at shelters. ^^

for one-there should be ABSOLUTELY no recognition, because we are the FREAKING DOLLARS and should be INVISIBLE
for two-i don't like the idea of missions, it should be suggestions on how to make things better
and three-these groups you speak of, are either ''political'' groups, or just assholes trying to make a point
the thing is, we should NOT have an AGENDA to get across, and the thought of MISSIONS is wrong, it should be SUGGESTIONS, and i know you don't have to do the missions, but it is the wrong word

It seems obvious to me that our real purpose would be to affect society in a positive way but how will we? Will special events be organized to do good deeds? Will members who need emotional or financial support find great assistance thanks to their comrades? Just wondering, thinking out loud.

>>67 not polital group, not assholes trying to make a point, used to be like that one of them, THEY FUCKING RESTORED INTERNET TO EGYPT DURING THEIR REVOLUTION, 99% isnt just a politcal group, ITS PEOPLE PISSED OF FROM PATHETIC LIVING QUALITIES, check up on them before making opinions..

>>For those who want to "change us" We are who we want to be BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN OTHERS, YOU WANT CHANGE SEE DO IT YOURSELF... others will join if you update it ^~^

>>66 I second that. It's not hard to volunteer and donate. There are plenty of people out there with less than what we have, and it would be appropriate and in good holiday spirits for us to do something.

We are real

Our goal a legitimate DOLLARS should be to challenge others to step up and take positive actions. We should do this through example. The only invisibility we should have is as a group. We need to show others how to be good citizens so we can change the world one person at a time. We have no need for any sort of power as a group, only power as an individual. Yes, there is no incentive to do missions. But missions should be examples to other people to do good in this world. If we show others that humans can be good, then maybe this world can be a better place. Our fame should only come from our good deeds, not from our popularity as a fan site.

>>72 Agreed. We should be noticed individually from our good deeds and not a large group of fans.

>>72 Well said!

>>73 It's inevitable that fans of the show will come here. We did model the site after a show. But it is the message of the DOLLARS that should be expressed. We are the DOLLARS. We can be good people if we just put forth the effort.

>>75 Yeah. I will defiantly be helping out at shelters this holiday. We all should try to do some good this holiday.

>>76 No! We should all strive to do good always. We should just become better people and end our own cycle of selfish actions. Even if it is little things. Pick up trash once in a while. Put some change in the Salvation Army can. Treat others with more respect. Just be a better example as a human being. As a member of the DOLLARS we should at least do something to show it.

>>75 I hope you don't mind if I quote you. Your message came across as being very sincere. I love it!

>>77 Oh yes of course! I really hope members of the Dollars will start acting like Dollars. Instead of biting each others heads off..

>>78 I don't mind at all. I am sincerely sick of laying on my ass all day and expecting the world around me to get better. The least I can do is be an example.

bump

>>79 I hope so too, otherwise our entire cause will be doomed to fail. I think we should all take on the mission to take the dollars more seriously. We can make a difference in this world. We don't need to do big things, but little things can make the greatest impact. Let's all strive to be better people and cooperate with each other to meet that end. Help your fellow DOLLARS out. Do some good deeds. Smile a little more.

Doing something big isn't always needed. But when it is, your actions could inspire others to fuel the cause with their own good deed. Change begets change.

>>82 Kind of like kids, right? I've seen that a lot of the kids around here become starry-eyed when they find out that they get to go and do something helpful. Like you said, it doesn't have to be huge. Raking leaves off the lawn of an elderly person, helping someone load groceries into their car, leaving a kind note, or babysitting and insisting that payment isn't needed.

Like you said, "your actions could inspire others."

I'm surprised this subject was even brought up i thought all dollars felt this way...i guess i'm just naive that way. well if the dollars didn't feel this way before i sure hope they do now.
thanks divineracoon. :)

>>47 the only problem is i feel like a one man army or the lone ranger. i'm have a few trusted friends that i'm going to have join and we can do some work and get **** done!

The Dollars were essentially invisible in the real one, and LulzSec and Anonymous are really just organizations of hackers. That's why they have a rather bad reputation. That's really why their well-known.

>>83 In a sense I suppose. These are all perfect examples. We should all strive to be nicer people. That is the true DOLLARS way.

>>86 Because the gang was created with no purpose in mind, the gang rarely ever involve themselves in any group activities, and its members are "colorless" and "invisible."

The dollar are an invisible gang With no color .

plus it's harder for us to get together when we are spread across a country if not the world.

It's amazing that everyone's so willing to band together like this. It brings that warm feeling. Hopefully, this can be the starting point for everyone out there, Dollars or not, to do something worthwhile that will bring about a positive change.

In my op, if we have meetings in the real world it gets rid of the invisability
Not that We have much at all
But I like the idea of feeling anybody could be part of the dollars if o l ow who is and isnt then that's just gone. Plus not that it's likely but if ppl know about us being in the dollars there could be "gang Involved conflict"
Sorry bout spelling I'm using my cell to type.

I put the dollars on a box filled with 91 cans however staying unseen will prove a HUGE challenge for any of us. So if anyone has a way to do that I will embrace it with open arms ^_^~~~

bump

hi, i was just looking to see if the dollars were even real or not and found this. i think that there is some potential for a small but significant movement here. if people would quit complaining and do something.

Im amazed this was posted, and i agree entirely. i joined yesterday and i want to do what i can.

Since I joined a few days ago, the member count has gone up by a good thousand or so. Slowly but surely we are growing. Whether those members stay or not, we can't be sure. But just by using the password though means some people know about us. If the member count is full of it disregard this...

>>96 We only have about 300 registered members. That counter on the top right just counts IPs. Ex. I have a dynamic IP, which means I've counted for about two hundred of those "71k" members so far, and there are many others with similar issues.

DAMN STRAIGHT WERE THE DOLLARS!!!!
while other members are to chicken shit to do somethng and make a difference (i don't mean to be rude to anyone). Me and my friends all joined this group so we could say "you know what i am in a gang! but were trying to make a difference. not like you guy's gangs that go around beating ppl up!" and ever since we joined we've been doing alot of stuff that made my neighborhood into a better community...that's why the dollars are important...we need people to be good examples..i mean..come on people...all you havta do is something little...recycle..or clean up graffiti

The Dollars aren't here to change the world. We're small, but in a process of growing. Just because we aren't rescuing people from burning buildings doesn't mean we aren't making a difference. We aren't anonymous, we are our own individual group. Anonymous has their image, I think we should make our own. Even if that means starting off as small as making one persons day easier.

There's an extracurricular club here that does random acts of kindness for people. Like serving donuts for the custodians. Or giving free coffee to students. Stuff like that.

We can do something similar, but we can also do something as big as Anonymous. And I agree with >>99 (Aya), starting small is where we should be starting off if we're planning to make something out of the Dollars.

The Dollars are real if we want them to be! We could all work together and make it real!! We might not be able to change the world, but if we all work together, and do our on little part, we CAN change it, piece by piece!

Wouldn't it be cool if everyone here started spreading rumors (not bad of course) about the dollars, in order to gain support. And just like in Durarara, once we gain some recognition to start sending texts to random people asking them to join the dollars. That way we could spread our mission for good worldwide.
Obviously there would be many problems and obstacles to overcome, like having those with bad intentions join our group and hurt our rep, but I know with time we would be able to do it. We could actually make a difference and it would be cool to know that there would be other dollars in every community working to better the world we live in. Like I said, there are many flaws with this plan but with some fine tuning it could actually work.

Post 102 sounds really fun. I thnk we should only send messages to people that r trustworthy. Not the yellow scarves lol

it sounds like everyone on here wants to do some real good but who here is guna do the work to organize everyone to do it?

Just leave things the way they are. No mass rumor spreading, no saving the world, just take a few spare moments out of your day to do some good. If it goes any further, it'll be by our actions, not words on here.

It's not like we made a vow to actually live up to what we claim the Dollars to be. I mean, like the guy said, most of us probably just Googled if the Dollars site was actually the real deal. But! That isn't to say that the Dollars are useless. We come here and we talk about stuff like this, we discuss our interests and hobbies and things like that... The fact that we're all here is already a miracle in and of itself since, we who don't even know each other, came together because of one thing we have in common. It might sound shallow, but, because of the fact that we all watch and like the same anime, we're able to connect in a special way. Stemming from that one commonality, we are able to find people with other similr interests as us.

It's really hard to explain but... I hope you guys understand that, even though we might not be like those other societies that seem to be "more productive" than us in terms of what they claim to be, the Dollars are still here, a place where people like us can just be ourselves and find others who are like us. :))

i think we all agree with this, but no one is sure on what to do or what should be done so that we can make a difference.
So be the starter, stand up and make a difference. people will follow i know i will.

it would be cool for a meet up though, for like dollars in the US and other countries. I dont knot just thinkin out loud.

My oh my, reading all this camotion is giving me a headache, Instead of sitting on your asses and starting a huge conversation that must have taken hours upon hours to write, and respond you could have been out actually starting a change, or better yet completing some of the missions in the mission board. Myself I have done a few of the missions in the board, for example the blood drive that was on there a few months ago, I did that. What have you all done, you've come online an ranted about all the things you want the dollars toi become when it doesn't seem like you have done much yourself. So unless you have done anything to actualy try to change the group besides post online and try to catch other peoples attention I suggest you go do something, then come post about, AFTER THE FACT, not before hand, and say your going to do it and lie about it that is just despicable. Some of you that have posted on here have no room to talk at all, and I do agree with some of the posts on here very much, though I'd venture to guess very few of you if any have done anything. And with that I send my regards.

love~Izaya-chan

I think it could be. If people don't believe it well then whatever. But we can say it is and it can really be a gang! But a good gang! Where we help people! I believe it is a gang.
-Ringo <3

>>111
Your right we COULD be a good gang though most people online, including myself are to lazy to get up and organize an event to do anything about it, though we talk about it as if we do it every week or so, but we don't. I find this sorta comical, I'm planning on an upcoming even sometime after christmas doing something special for my town, though I'm not sure yet, I'm going to help the community and do something, though I still have some time to think about it. I am just a kid so I won't make much difference, though I'm going to do my best, anyone who wishes to join me I'm going to post something in missions, anyone can come if they like.

LOVE~Izaya-chan

>>110 Although I think I agree with your point, I kindly ask that you do not make assumptions about others and how much effort they have put into the Dollars :O

This to me sounds like were all just waiting for someone to make an effort, give ideas stop complaining. I think we need a bigger goal than just good deeds, something we as the dollars could accomplish together
If we all just try, we could do this. I will make the extra effort who else will?

I'm in! We can do it if we work hard enough! =^.^=

WE ARE AWSOME PEOPLE WHO TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE OF COURSE WE ARE REAL EXPECPT THOSE DUMB ASS BITCHES WHO THINK THEY CAN JUST JOIN THE DOLLARS AND NOT DO ANY OF THE MISSIONS

>>87

Harsh, but true... It's hard to make sure that the members of the Dollars are doing their part... =-_-=

>>87 That isn't the point. The point of the DOLLARS was to change the game a little. We can be a gang and be good people. We have no specific goals other than just being better people. We don't need missions or goals to better ourselves as human beings as well as citizens.

Another good point. Change starts small, with the individual, and eventually spreads through the willingness to do good things. =^.^=

Holy crap, when did this thread start getting so much attention >_>

I think the dollars is just a fansite wishing they could be real. People on this site say they change things, but just saying nice thing and doing good thing will not change anything. Not even your community. So I think were just abunch of nice people.

bump

I wouldn't call us a fansite. I mean, people DO want change, and you have to start small, I mean, most of us don't even know each other, we can't just go straight to making drastic changes. I think this site's about progress, we ourselves are a community, and once we get tighter and more united, I think we'd have a chance of changing something, even if that something is minor.

Nope we r the real Dollars well as real as there gunna get so yeah

It's good to see, that someone, other than an Admin, or moderator, is having to take a step up, and say what needs to be said, I'm with him all the way, The Dollars, could truly be a group, if we could set aside the silly little things in life, and do the right thing. We all need that kind of motivation.

>>124 I understand what youer saying, thing is, we can change things drasticly. We could come togather, but people dont want to take the time out of thier day to do things like protesting that west boro church. Me as well. We are just abunch of people.

I agree whole heartedly

Who like durarara. Witch makes use a fansite.

Sorry for double post, im on my phone.

>>116 Is your caps lock key broken?

Your half right and wrong. Everybody is different and I totally agree about people not stepping up the plate to do whats right. I maybe lazy sometimes but I really want the madness to end. I hear stuff on news, and never too much good news and somebody has to do something about our economy, housing market etc. And the internet can be a useful place and it can be abused because of obession. Im sick and tired of the evil in the world and I know its hard to stop it but it must be taken under control. I dont wanna see hate anymore to anybody!

>>131 you just brought up an awesome point. If the things you see on the news is really getting to you, then makeing people smile picking up trash, scrubing off grffity, ect. Will not help.........

One sec I have to make another post.

>>132 I agree that we should have more mature missions where effort is actually required, but these missions are welcome. My only opinino is that there should be ONE mission and not HUNDREDS of missions for each "smile" and "litter" topic. It's not that in depth. You can't branch off from that and make a new thread, you know? *sigh*

mostly both

.....change the world. Those are things that come after the big changes. If things are really bad then we have to try and make TRUE changes. Also we are unable to change economic standpoints, and houseing. So lets save the "make some one smile" for later.

Also, im saying all this, but truth be told, im more than likely the lazyest person here.

I understand Izaya

Ew! I HATE those other groups! I would never DARE to call the Dollars that type of category! I definitely agree with Izaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>131 You're so right. The madness needs to end. But even as a collective, there's a chance that it won't. Still, if being part of a "fansite" can produce some good, then it really can't be as negative as Izaya makes it out to be. Doing something useful, something that makes someone else's life a little better or a little easier, even if it's been spurred on by a common interest like an anime, is still something that counts. The good we do isn't, and won't be, attributed to what we have in common, but the motivation that's in each of our hearts.

Honestly your absolutly right and thats the problem. We need to all agree upon one mission first THEN start doing it! So we should all get together, not physically, and find a mission that'll make us be seen as a group who'll be that friend who lends you their shoulder to cry on! :)

I love you Mika

All the Dollars in Every region of the world should get together and let the world know that we are here! Only then can we actually do something to change the world. I say we organize a worldwide event of somekind.

I dont think its anything negitive. Im saying if we want to truly change communites,we need to do more than make people smile. The one mission at a time idea is great.

Wow when I found this, i was estatic. I agree with Izaya-sho, too lazy to organize.

>>142 well the problam is the dollars is full of lazy peope like me, who will say ill do it but never really get around to it.

Thats why i dont say im going to do a mission.

>>145 but Izaya! If your lazy, then why admit it to the world? Cant you at least pretend to do something? or dont say anything at all? And um...sorry if Im being mean....>///<

No you have the right to speak your mind.

Im admiting my lazyness becuase of the fact that so many people here dont do anything and pretend they do. Its time for people (myself as well) to grow up a bit.

>>148 Ok then....but you don't have too if you don't want to. Nobody's making you, and I'm certainly not making you. Just do whatever you feel is right, k? =^^=

Ok will do! :D

Yes sir. Anyone have some intellecual shit to say?

You know wat just shut up the dollars might be from a amine be it is real .we might just be using a little of our fantasy but who care it is real and I'm a proud dollar if you wana quit QUIT we don't know you so leave I'm tiered of this tread. Dollars is the neatest thing I've ever did for my self

Fellow Dollars agree with me

I mean it the bestest thing ive did

Juan theres no need to say shut up. No one said anything about quiting. Also were not argueing if were fake, were argueing if we can and are changeing things.

I agree with Izaya-sho let us change things the way they are

If we could do useful things, then we should Shouldn't matter where the original idea from this site came from. Fighting about it, and other trivial things, doesn't progress us any further

Lol every one to day is using big words in the wrong format

This is exciting, I agree and I think we should make more people take us seriously. Although are demographic is a few 12-18 year olds, that doesn't mean we can't use that to start crafting proactive youngsters out of worn and tired society. If we can get our basic ideals to spread, then maybe we could use the dollars a tool to inspire and save kids from certain harsh fates they may encounter in the world. Sorry for the random longness ;)

i barley watched the show it came from... as i see it, the dollars is wat u make of it. how ever much or little that may be

I agree with 162 and 163 if we get more people focused on taking us seriously we may be able to make this group a reality. I also, have only seen a couple episodes of the anime so you cant really call people like us trolls or fanboy/girls.

Ive also been thinking about this recently~ ive been wanting to do something for the good of others and not just to advertise, basicly all that advertsing is bull do we really NEED it? anyway my point is that i agree with you we all need to get off our asses and actually do something.

I've had this kind of stuff on my mind for a while. We need to do SOMETHING, anything! I helped someone getting mugged a while back, but that didn't do much good to the world. We need to do something BIG, something noticeable. Something that will put the Dollars on the map!

But, post 110 from Izaya is right. If we want to do this... We can't just sit around talking about it... We need to actually do it... And there's no way only a few of us can do it alone... We need EVERYONE. And yes, a good start would be completing some of the missions on the main page.

-Inakasua

>>167 I wouldn't say that, Setton. Maybe your deed didn't help the world as a whole, but I bet it really did something for the person who was being mugged. What you did probably made all the difference for them. Maybe they had a negative outlook on life, and changed that because of what you did to help. :)

Bump

Bump

You've motivated me, man. I'm gonna do all I can to make a change. After all, I am part of the Dollars!

Dude ive been thinking the same thing lately we need to be notice!!!

YES!!! Thank you!
I go out every day and do things to help the community, and recently I've been losing hope of making any difference. I mean, it's just me doing these things around here.. So I'm happy to know that it's not just me who feels this way.

iknow wat u mean i do the same thing

What scares me is that you don't know that WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HIDDEN

yeah but ppl arent really listening and going around saying "im in the dollars" wont u join and even givin out the password

It's more powerful if we're not out in the open. We can do our own thing if we stick to only knowing each other and don't have public attention. Without people scrutinizing us we can focus more on building a community or helping each other with missions/projects, like the one for gay and lesbian rights in Russia. That was a great one. If someone asks me if I'm in the Dollars I'll proudly say yes, but we should probably stick to the shadows. Dollars are supposed to be clear and transparent.

You know reading all of your wonderful posts makes me think. What does the guy who created the dollars think of what he did? Because without him, we wouldn't of found/put together this site, and you all state really good points but I still think we need a meeting area, we need to start a post to find out where most of the dollars members are from, and where ever the most dollars are from (state wise) we will agree to make that our meeting grounds. Does anyone else agree with me?

What I ment in the first part was about the guy who created Drrr not the dollars. My bad I got cought up in the moment.

>>179 i agree but i think im the only dollar in my school of 800.

actually it could be 600, i dont know

>>1 i can see why you feel/think that way, id have to say you are for the most part true, HOWEVER, haha i think even the smallest blip can do something to set off a chain reaction, when someone lays out a bunch of dominoes and than flicks that ONE domino at the beginning that one domino is the reason all the other dominoes fell (reacted) i think the Dollars has room to grow and i think most people would just assume it is a bunch of fanboys/girls and who are we kidding, most of us are. lol. I think there just needs to be more missions, like give everyone you can a hug day or make everyone a card and put it on their car day in one parking lot, (school lot, work lot, etc etc) i feel like we are mosty talk and no action and perhaps thats because I'm not going out and doing stuff, but still....

We just have to do all that we can to make a better environment for ourselves...Dude, that speech was so epic, I HAVE to agree with you! GO DOLLARS!!!! WHO'S WITH ME!?!?!?

Oh, and as for >>43 FUCK YOU! If you feel that way about the Dollars then why are you even on our website!? The Dollars are awesome!

bump

I suggest deleting this post at once. This is causing too much unnecessary commotion. If you feel the Dollars need to change, this isn't the way to do it. Change through action, not words.

people who are even fanboys and fangirls have a reason for joining the dollars, who knows we can be one of the good gangs, not because its based off the show but because we can do more then that. For me once i saw the anime i thought what if there is a group that does good like that, even thought were not noticed dosen't mean we can't just be awesome ^ ^

>>187 Yeah, but those words are TELLING us to change through action!

We are real! were not thoose Gay Gangs like "Bloods and Crips",and we are just not seen.But tbh its "Your" Assumption,if you think we are real or not...in that case i actually belive we are real! everything has a meaning you know....

Totally true!

Im only here to do missions to make the world better with everyone else. Go Dollars!

i believe we are real nd i take this being a gang, group, organization, thts not seen what ever we are i take this serious nd we will become whatever we are trying to become it just might take time so untill then never give up hope fellow dollars

i know this should be on random but anyone in the dollars should write the symbal and the password on theyre arm to show we realy care about the dollars

Let's make the world better...!!! Go Dollars!!!

i was told about a website where there were others who wanted to help their towns and also he said it was a lot of fun in the real time chat

Btw the dollars dollar bill thing was a great idea (i got one when i was at a store in portland oregon)

My hope is that this organization really can make a difference, even if it's small. I'm mean the show is great, but we shouldn't just be here to be fanboys/girls. We should live the purpose of the Dollars.

i agree completly. people as a mass are stupid. but an idivedual with he head set straight can change the world

I don't think that the problem is the lack of seriousness but our reasons are to general. Let's assume everyone come here to "help the world." That is too general and the focus will not to be directed at a certain cause. But if everyone came to this site to...lets say... save a dog, the goal is more focus so we will accomplish more if the goal is more focus. I also think the problem of why we are so "invisible" (which we're suppose to be anyways) is not because no one take this site seriously, but because of how far we are willing to go. I mean picking up garbage and everything helps society good and all, but how far will you really go? Will you help fight animal abuse by going around egging "said" person's house because he abused a dog or wore fur (Can't think of a more dangerous situation ><...good enough?) Seeing that this site has a general fan base of 12-18 year old, we can't be expected to pull off serious stunts for this website. What 12 year old would? (I'm not looking for an example, you don't got to answer this question)

i think that this can be real if we put our minds to it.. cuz if not then why would we all be here.. and if we do all work together even if it's in different parts of the world.. we can make this world a better place for the future...

Number 43 is hecka funny

>>201 You're kidding, right?
>>195 WHOO!! WITH YA ALL THE WAY!!!:D

bump

No offense, but I can't do any missions alone. I'm a team player here. I have to have at least ONE person with me to do a Dollars mission.

>>204 then advertise in your country/state thread to see who's near you and if they can help. if not, it doesnt have to be a dollar that helps, it could be anyone.

The dollars is a gang that has no rules, if you dont want to go out of your way to help people thats fine, if you do want to help people thats fine too. It really about just helping out your fellow members and doing what you want.
I would like to do missions and stuff but I dont know of any other dollar members in my area.

With all do respect we are not fakes i take this a serious thing no matter if we are a bunch of teens or not we're the leaders of tomarro and we have power enough that we can band up aginst problemms of today socity and as for occupy wallstreet and anoymous we have the number and power to rise over even them. We are not the 99% and we are not trying to hide ourselves. WE ARE THE DOLLARS!

I agree. WE ARE DOLLARS!

we re the dollars, we might be invisible, but that doesnt mean we cant change the way things are going, even though we arnt seen, and to the rest of the world, not watching anime, we dont exist, we are a very real group, and yah, some of us take it seriously, i made a club at my school, we are mostly dollars members, we have made a large difference in the community, we are only 15 strong, now imagin if every dollar in the world acted together, we could change the world for the better, we are the dollars!

bump

I agree. We need to step up our game (invisibly) and stop being a bunch of posers trying to emulate DRRR. I came here to become part of an anonymous advocacy group. I expected more of those who are pretending to be something they're not.

Aren't we supposed to be showing others how to be themselves?

I mean, there's no reason to be something you're not, guys- you're in the Dollars, for goodness' sake! You're part of a worldwide community! A community that has already accepted that there are people different than them and yet similar in interests.

Our colors are black and white for a reason. Black is the absence of color, symbolizing a lack of prejudice and a sense of unity. White, on the other hand, is a mixture of all colors (less importantly and more specifically, red, yellow, and green light) and represents diversity.

So, in a way, we are both colorful and colorless. In other words, diverse both not prejudiced.

So why pretend to be Shizuo (just an example, no offense to those out there whose names are ACTUALLY Shizuo) when you can be accepted for who you are already. That's what the Dollars are- their name comes from a foreign term meaning "to not do anything". If we aren't doing anything, why would we care about what kind of person you are (unless you're a serial killer- you should probably stop doing that).

We are the Dollars, both colorful and colorless. There's no need to pretend that you're something else- we are all diverse here.

Most of us are not pretending to do anything. Most of us are actually doing what needs to be done. The newbies, are the ones whom are coming on here, trying to play make-believe. Not us, though.

I agree

Totally,at first I was all like oh okay it's like a fan-site thing, but then I looked at missions and The main alot more and I am feeling like a real dollar you know? not just a "pretend" dollar.

Yeah to me this Dollars thing is real. We'er not just some kids playing pretend we r realy doin things that help.

<<213 I totally agree
<<215 I know. This site makes me feel a little more like I'm accepted as a person who loves unconditionally. It always makes me happy that there are others that want to help.

In all honesty, I've been a dollar since I was very young, not in name, but in spirit, I guess. I don't know if it's selflessness or if I just don't care about personal issues, but I've been able to put a lot behind me for the welfare and happiness of others.

They say groups like this are for people who are never going to find 'the one', but as a Dollar is spirit and in name, I already have, due to my actions as a person who comforts others.

I'm wanting to get a group of Dollars together to do good deeds, and if they ask who we are, I'll simply say "A group of kids banding together towards a similar goal."

I love the Dollars so much. I wish there weren't the fanboys and fangirls- it's okay if you like DRRR- we all have interests- but this isn't the right time to roleplay. Not in a time when the world needs the ACTUAL Dollars. I admit it, I do like DRRR, and I even write fanfiction, but I came to this site with full intent on being a true Dollar. One who performs anonymous deeds w/o public or extrinsic reward.

I'm very glad that there are people who agree with our views. As a colorful and yet colorless group, it really means a lot.

Guys hate to break it to yall but we arent anything... thats what dollars is we may have this or that feelings, i share them too..
BUT dollars is just a way for us to feel more connected, thats why we are here. DONT TELL OTHERS WHAT WE SHOULD DO.

I shall abridge J.F.K.s famous line:
Ask not what the dollars can do or can become
Ask what I can do for the dollars or what i can make it become

and ghandi: Be the change you want to see in others

would fit in what we all should do. Instead of telling others lets get serious, you actually should get serious yourself make missions you want to happen, and do it yourself post pics. MOTIVATE OTHERS


**Side note i posted this several times in different ways on topics like this, i cant believe i havent posted here yet but yeah.. =)

I think if you wanted to abridge the line, it would be:

"Ask not want the Dollars can do for you,
But what YOU can do for the Dollars."

Actually, abridging, like paraphrasing, is shortening something. You're just changing it up a bit.

Abridging, isn't it a form of comedy, also?

ok dang symantics much jeez i couldnt find a better word, well i could have phrased it:

As to put J.F.K.'s famous quote in my own words:

Ask not what the dollars can do or can become
Ask what I can do for the dollars or what i can make it become


there fixed, now site down and have a taco guys

<<220 Dictionary says abridging is both changing and paraphrasing. The line originally was "It's not what your country can do, but what you can do for your Country".

I watch too much History channel...

*eating taco* But, I'm having pizza soon...

>>221 A lot of times it's used in a parodic manner, such as yugioh: the abriged series on youtube.

>>222 I don't mean to be rude, just trying to help.

>>223 Lol. That's supposed to be an extremely famous quote. I'm surprised that people in my genertation haven't heard it before.

>>224 I know, right? I'm 15. I need to know these things still.... it's just... important...

>>225 So far you're ahead of a lot of people your age it seems lol.

i would think of us all as the one thing we are a dollar and this shows that its not fake people wouldn't put so much time into it

Okay im 13. When i frist got on this site, i thought it was fake. Then some how you get to talking to people and they tell you that the Dollars are 100% real. So i begin to believe that. If you think this is a fan site. "Click" the lil "Introduction" thing at the top on your left. It says its NOT a fan site.

>>223 Its not "Its not what your country can do for you"
the quote was actually "ASK NOT<< what your country can do for you"

Not offended, couldn't think of a better word, but thanks for the correction; the elimination of ignorance should always be one's endeavor no matter how the facts are presented humility in times of error is what helps one grow.

And to get back on topic we are as real as Sukie crises insertname mael archadmral Tsukie Forte Barabi Kumo Ayanavi Thiamor Misuto The Doctor Sukie Umbra Serpens Lumins Serpens....etc wants us to be and we are the fruit of individual action.. The dollars is to be what you build with your own hands not the actions other members will or wont do


^another way of putting it

Also im actually proud of some new faces im seeing, guys stepping up and being quite awesome noobs, more awesome then i was when i first came. Now guys we just have to fix those posts that sound like oh i agree, or oh thats bad.. @All memebrs read the posts and formulate your own opinions, click on the link provided or do research on the topics.

^~^

well i admit i did came here cause of the anime series but after reading few threads i found out this is serious and dollars bbs isn't a fansite so yeah

well.. I'm convinced that we are legit. and I agree with Minato. but..from what I understood...we arent supposed to standout, we're supposed to be colorless and blend in. if this was already said I'm sorry, I just don feel like reading through like...200 posts.

I agree, we should come out and have other groups know about the dollars. lets make it happen

yeah its time for this group to be serious an have an effect in society, we can't be unknown forever,im sorry if ive gone against our purpose

I think we are not Dollars right now. The existence of Dollars is floating above us waiting for the right moment to appear. But since then we can't call ourselves Dollars. When will it happen? I think it will happen when we will at least ONCE do our Dollars duty. I mean help each other. When we'll be in need, we should be able to rely on Dollars. I know, I know, bad example, but just like Anri.

u think were fake we are real we are here for a reason which i am actually tring to find out right now

There is no DUTY as a dollar you can do what you want,yes we are dollars you cant tell me i am not, and you cant tell others they are not... We arent the dollars you imagine us to be, if you want us to be that, then be that dollar member that you imagine to be.... Otherwise just chill and do what missions you wanna do, and slowly change things, again only if you want. Dollars is to connect people, what we do from here on out wont make us any less or more dollarsy, WE ARE DOLLARS THERE IS NO DUTY, just act right and if you wanna do things do them, nothing stops you

I do agree a little with this but there are problems like distance, not every Dollar can meet and do stuff to help our society.. I would say I am in the middle... I think if there is something we can do like then we sit back at our country like Lithuania and stuff then yeah please tells us and I am sure a lot of us will participate but I am against all that forcing thing, we are free people after all

man i am with you i have the same opinion the dollars are almost anexistent

Well although we are a real group. We havent done any real socity helping like everyone says we are. But then again thats not fully what the dollars is about.

Dollars isnt about anything, izaya we can make it about somethng by actions we do ourselves.... gahh im getting tired always telling people this... >.< kids jeez never will understand it

If I may, I think it is great to have "missions" and such, asking specific things of us Dollars, but I think the really important thing is just that we be considerate and generous. I think if we could just spread a little bit of decency in the world, we could really make a difference, and this site could be just be a great place to meet and chat with other, considerate and decent people. Just a thought.

well the dollars is a group and isnot a group we are just people who either fool around or others who take it sirus but all we can do is try and the dollars isnt ment to be famous we are suppose to be everyday citizens trying to do good

In the spirit of supporting this "call to our cause" I hate to quote character. but. Mikado did say something along the lines of "The city *IS* the Dollars" Isn't that what we're trying to aim for? We're not so much a group of good-doers, more a collective for good-doers to join. There are people out there every day doing the things we say we do, the things we stand for. Why not stop focusing on doing more ourselves, and put more effort towards make The Dollars known to the people who are already out there supporting everything we do, whether they know it or not.

i like the way you think if you see me on the chat say hi and keep spreding that type of idea around

bump because it's a discussion of sorts.

BUMP
At first when i joined i thought the exact same thing, that we are all just a bunch of 14 year olds thinking that if we join this that we will be cool and change the world.
I relized that i didn't care what people thought about it, i just cared about changing things and meeting other people with similar ideas.
In Short: I don't believe that the dollars are a bunch of 14 Year olds being stupid, it is many different people sharing their ideas with other people, working together to make a difference.

>>246 But some really are

bump

bamp

I joined The Dollars to be a part of a community, and to do good for the world. i joined for the noble goal of helping others. being recognized is completely optional, and i don't care about it. however, i would be completely open, myself, to hosting Dollars locally, and adopting highways in our name, to go out and clean them, if recognition was, indeed, wanted by our ranks.

bump

divineraccoon theres no need to be rude to others after all were all apart of the dollars rite

>>252
I think you are posting in the wrong thread :/

it rly doesnt matter does it

>>254 yes it does. How can you be so stupid that you cant see how posting comment somewhere you didnt mean to is bad.

well it doesnt matter laters

Let's get back on the subject of this thread. Here, allow me to instigate: Why don't you lazy bums actually do anything as Dollars? I bet you just get on here to chat and stuff.

/end devil's advocate

How can you say that we are the Dollars not a little middle school gang i have friends that are in the dollars and we help are cummunity because we are the Dollars we will never be seperated because are bonds are strong and the reason you think we are non-exsitent is because we have no color so you wont know if the person next to you is a member so NO! WE ARE THE DOLLARS!!!

WE ARE THE DOLLARS!!

>>258
A+

>>256

If everyone says it matters, then it isn't up to you to decide if it does or doesn't. We say it matters, therefore it matters, or else there wouldn't be tabs for different shit, as well.

Agrees with thiamor

>>261
I agree.

>>261 I agree too

bump for [re]reading the entire thread

bumped 100% i joined yesterday and im ready to show the world what The Dollars are all abbout we are not a fan site we are a real group of hardend good people that want to change the world for the greater good one person at a time if we have too we dont need to be seen or publisized we just need to leave a small sign or mark showing that we are here and we are good!

The Dollars will be here in the shadows...

I've been thinking exactly about this too; and wondering what I could do. This is still an "underground organization" in which no one really knows about it; but regardless of that fact, no one even KNOWS of its existence...

>>266 we will be here in the shadows, but our name should b in the sunlight.

>>267 good motto for the dollars dont ya think?

What if I protest and hold up a sign that reads "The Dollars dont agree with this!!" That would be agianst the Dollars, uh?

@ichigo we dont agree with violence so your protest wouldent matter gg..


The Dollars will be in the shadows..but our name will be in the sun...

The Dollars are meant to be colorless, and that doesn't just mean we don't wear silly bandana's and scarfs. I like what Shinigami just said.

Hey the owner of the 269th reply... Are you my long lost Oniichan? I'm Psy...

I think you are selling the potential of The Dollars short, we CAN rally, we just need a common goal which we can all get involved in.

>>273 then the dollars will never rally... There will never be a common goal strong enough to bring the members together. It's easy to say that you believe in something and that you'll fight for something if you're never held accountable. There is no need to follow through with a promise if no one can see your face. I'm sorry to destroy a dream but I have to play the devils advocate. Our ideas will never go as planned, there is no system, this is why anarchy would never work. With everyone proposing an idea and no one to decide what's to be done then the rallies will never happen. Statisticly speaking at least one dollar will show up but still. The missions board is a great idea but the only missions that will actually be done are the ones that don't require much effort or sacrifice, even though a lot of people will say they did it. It's easy to lie and make up a story when no one is watching. Because you can't be held accountable.

It's also easy to be a little pissfuck who thinks we're kids, lying through our teeth when we say we have done what we said we've done.

I agree strongly with your points divineraccoon but that doesn't mean that maybe, with a little effort, spreading the word of the dollars, trying to actually find people that want to take this seriously and make something out of this, you never know, focus more on people that want to take this seriously and try to avoid the trolls, immatures and fanboy/girls. Find more people that realize that there needs to be change in this corrupt world. Trying is always inevitable, right?

the small thigs are not allways important as they might seem to be but if you look at all of the things that we have done that are small all tougther we might relize that they are apart of a bigger picture to make a better place for all of to live in or even to have a better wrold thats what i want to accomplish be doing missions and helping other dollar members ^__^

>>275 lol watch your pressure

And why are we still on this topic don't we have missions to do news and or politics to discuss there have been so many topics about are we really making a change? Why did you join? Are we a fangroup? Blah blah blah blah blah the list goes on and on Its like we are going in circles stop talking about it and do something about it I'm new like 3 days signed in new XD! Yeap its true and I am on My fourth mission workin alone I might add cause I'm one of those move out My way ill do it myself people


Any case point being if you don't think we are making a difference leave
If you think we could be making more of a difference or need to do more gather your friends or work alone and hop on it

Small or big its important and idk about you but talk is cheep and actions speak louder then words you got texting groups to keep people in check and mailing groups

You can read newspapers online articles etc. You see a dollar with a will to make a difference I don't see what's holding you back

i agree with you but it consederd taboo for us to have our name out there. i dont know to much im still really new. but it seems that the organization as it is on this site would prefer to remain Anonymous.
and every little thing some one dose for someone else counts in the long run. weather it be helping someone spread a cause on the web in the rooms or going out and taking action.
i was thinking about getting all of my anime friends and my crew together on this site so we would have a local group of dollars in my city to help out and help each other but i get the feeling some of the other members might not be to happy with me handing out this site to some one who didn't find it on there own.
only time will tell

HELL YAY!!! Thank you man we are the dollars not a bunch of wanna be's so we as the dollars should step up and use our numbers and potentional and rights to our full advantige. Thank for that wake up call.

well I know for one I actually take this organization seriously. I try to help people from behind the scenes, using the missions on here and just doing things for people everyday. I think if more people took the dollars seriously, it could turn out to be a great thing. It's to bad that alot of people just see this as a fansite.

Why is it that we can't become known in the anime the Dollars were well known my friends the only way to gain more mebers is to become known all around.

We are the dollars and were here to stay XD!

Yes we are the Dollars but we also should stay invisible.

The Dollars have the potential to be a force of social change. Benjamin Franklin once said that "every generation needs a revolution", and up until this point, we've been satisfied to simply do nothing.

As a member of the Dollars, I've sat front-row with the members of the Occupy Movement (not mentioning my allegiance to the Dollars, of course.) I've experienced what happens when greed and social injustice turn this country, which I love so very much, into a plutonomy instead of a democracy; a place where the rich set the precident and believe themselves above the law.

No, I believe the Dollars should be out there with Occupy Wall Street, blood up to our elbows, doing our part.

I love this country. And I'm not leaving: so something has to change. And I believe in my heart that the Dollars can be that instrument for change.

You believe we should be right up in the front lines. Do you mean coming out so they know who we are, or doing what we have been doing? Because if it isn't the last part, I'll just have to say fuck off with that idea.

>>274
Raises a good point, Thiamor. I can see how it could be seen as offensive to those of us who are actually out there and trying to do our part, but are the majority of us outside Sunshine_daisies's description? I think what he/she said is something to consider as an obstacle to overcome.

>>285
It is my understanding that many Dollars are split on the Occupy Movement. Personally, I am against the movement, and I do not think the Dollars should get involved with that mess; however, members of the Dollars are more than welcome to take part without associating themselves openly with the Dollars. At the same time, I wonder if good could come from the Dollars joining the movement (as opposed to the movement joining the Dollars, if you know what I mean).

HOWEVER, you have a point. Eventually, the Dollars could become a vehicle for social change, but that would cause us to have to re-evaluate our ideas on being "invisible". Perhaps we would take the stance that Anonymous has on this, where personal identities of the members are left unfilled and empty; in public, they do not claim, "I am Anonymous," unless they are hiding their faces. This is an entirely different issue, that I think SHOULD be discussed at some point.

>>286 I agree to an extent, but don't be so hasty.

bump for order

yea, i agree with divine

bump

this is great more people who feel the same, i'm from the uk and in the summer we had mass looting and riots in some of our cities. property's and business were destroyed and one boy was even killed protecting his father's shop. But do you know how many people turned up for the clean up effort and donated possessions to families who lost everything,a hell of a lot more than created the mess. my thought is that a lot of people want to do good they just have no direction, and i think having an organisation that people can identify, would help that. bump to spread cause and word of the dollars to broader outreach.

divine i understand your feeling but whe are an invisible group
im sure that the dollars helped alot of people in trouble

bump

i was under the impression that the dollars were colorless, an organisation made up of whoever calls themselves the dollars, wherever the may be

bump? yes, bump.

bump

We just do our own little helpful ways to the society in the name of dollars or not, i guess.

Why does it matter if we're noticed? The anime made it clear you don't have to be noticable to make a difference. Instead of focusing on the popularity of these groups and organizations you've listed, focus on what they stand for. I also find it steriotypical for you to make asumptions about an ANONYMOUS group designed to help peolpe. In fact I realy don't hope we become a major group in todays polotics. In all, I take serious offence to your thread and hope that you will no longer mention this topic.

i have to agree with >>298
We aren't a fan club so those who were hoping that gtfo but even though as a dollar, we each should contribute and make a difference. We don't have to be worldwide known to gain a sort of reputation because as the dollars,we know who we are and don't need to be judged and compared with. We may be young ranging from the ages of 13-25 and so forth, it doesn't mean we must dedicate each second of our life to making the world a better place but right now, those missions that are made are the best we can do.
We can't stop animals from being extinct, we can't fly to 3rd world countries and give them their needs. That’s why those groups, that are supported by the government, are there for. We as the dollars are doing the best of what we are capable of .

>>43 ....you...stfu

just look at our #s based off of tht i would say tht we r prety real

>>300 agree, i think we're doing pretty well :)

maybe we need to be visible, is that what you want? you want someone to notice us? this is just a fanpage but if you think this "gang" was made for a reason, for our own personal gain then go ahead

>>43...sure i'll suck urdick jus tekk me when an where ;)

>>43 u, mister "scarves rule" i wanna meet you

>>302you are a dumb ass
>>43 for all i care the yellow scarves can burn in hell

>>302 This is not a fan site dude. Get it right.

Bump for divineraccoon

>>285 Why should we rally all of our support behind some other organization's "movement"?
I don't know about everybody else here but this occupy wall street bullshit, I'm rather indifferent to.
But any fucking way... I do believe there are enough people here to make a difference somehow, but the suggestion of above^ makes me think that some people want this to be some sort of group based around political issues?
And we're a gang. A "gang", if you will.

We're a community. The world gang doesn't at all shine a good light on anyone. A community, on the other hand, fits who we are.

We're not a gang. We're far from it. We're a community, of like minded individuals.

Word. Not world.

ew

>>309 Lol the World Gang... That sounds intense.

Your right its not just a rp website its a real organization but sure our origin is from an anime but that doesnt mean we cant change the world

i agree with kahoku

You guys are fucking retards, wanna know why? In reality, it is entirely possible for a shit site with a large number of people to cause a change in the world, but you know why you guys wont? Because you are a bunch of fat angsty emo teens who spend all day on some shitty site based off a fucking anime. Jesus Christ you people are retarded

wat makes u think were emo?

We do change things our way but no one know about it because we do not take credits. And that's fine this way.

>>315
Okay. If that's true. Prove it. Other than using fucking empty words, prove it. Go out and prove each member on this site isn't doing shit. If you can't, you can't prove anything.
This isn't a fucking fan-site. Get over it. DEAL WITH IT.

There is no need to argue with him. We know what we do, and we know what kind of people we are. He is just plan ignorant.

Lol

>>315 You're just like the rest of them. Another one of those people who do nothing but spread hate. A person who doesn't want to see people happy and laughing. You don't want others to recieve the help they need, or the push in the right direction. How could you come to this place and tell us that we don't do anything for others? That we don't help those who need us? Just because we work from the shadows, just because we help others without boasting about it, doesn't mean it never happened. Happiness can be achieved through what we all do every day. From curing diseases to just getting on this site and welcoming everyone who comes here with open arms. And if that is retarded, well.... Ska-derp-a-herp.

Um, I'm not sure listing the tea party and occupy wallstreet as groups out to change the world is all that accurate. They're out to be obnoxious and get in the way of traffic more than anything. I was under the impression that the Dollars aren't out to change much of anything, we don't have an over arching goal that we stand for. Yeah this site is based off a fictional group from an anime, but you can't deny the fact that the people signed up here are real, the Dollars is about belonging to something you don't have to worry about a bunch of opinions you don't always agree with. We're free to say "I'm with the Dollars" and smirk when people don't get it.

>>312 fuck yeah man
these are rough and radical times

>>322

second that

to tell you the truth i would prefer more radical missions then what is posted but if we try to make a change or revolution then we can hopefully make a change for the better

Bump

Since I'm nice, I'll do HeartBeatKnight a favor. I'll repost his response to this thread, since he thought it was fitting to... MAKE A THREAD FOR A RESPONSE. Anyways, here we go.

"This is my own response to the thread I just read right now. I am 15 years old. How in the fuck does my age make me not a serous fighter for good. I deserve just as much respect as the adults on here.I'm so tired of the adults that are trolling on us because were not good enough or I should say "Mature" enough. Give us a fucking chance and so what if we fail. Thats when your suppose to help not put us down. Stop the petty complaints about spelling errors too. Focus on whats important. A young person actually willing to put away their free time just being a kid, so that they can make the world a better place. We should be commended for that. But instead most or some of you put us down. Its not fair at all."

I'll reiterate, this isn't my opinion, but HeartBeatKnight's.

i for one believe that half of this is true, we tend to think of ourselves are real, but most of the peopke on here are actually trying to make random acts of kindness to make the world a better place, i agree with the treating of age said by HeartBeatKnights.DivineRacoon if you have time to post threads such as this you have time to make the dollars more well known in the world like the rest of us, just complaining about people of our generation isnt the way to change things kthnxbai

>>328
If you've time to reply to this, you have time to also do something.

Stop being a fucking hypocrite, kid.

I'm fifteen, but I take the Dollars quite seriously, and try to do as many good things as possible. Sure, DRRR!! is a pretty rad anime, but I fully understand this isn't a silly fansite. The way I say it is that the ONLY thing this website has to do with Durarara!! is that the idea came from it. If you take the Dollars out from the show, bring it into this world, and remove all the characters and occurences, and you've got our Dollars. I'm cool with the generalization of people my age; I don't blame you.

i believe the dollars isnt just a fanbase. Know the sticky notes thing?? Sure people wont know im the one who did it but it still affects someone. Like everyone says, we're invisible. We dont have to be under the world's radar or talked about! Think about it. There are sooo many Dollars who take the site seriously. Even the smallest things. I belive you're not one of those people I dont even think this is worth my time. At least some of us are doing something rather than doubt the Dollars. I may not be doing much but it's because i'm young and i can only do so little because i hardly have any freedom to do the good stuff at all.

I am fifteen and as far as I know my friends and I are the only represenetives of the dollars for my town but either way we all take the dollers very seriously and we won't let anything get in the way of our duties as dollars

bump

We all take the dollars very seriously here. However some may just think were a fan site.

I take it seriously but i do kind of think its a fan site but you know who cares

I take it seriously. The thing is, our actions are supposed to exist in the world, not us. Does that make any sense?

of course this isnt a fan site i think we all need to take this seriously

>>335 We aren't a fan site but the people who take it too seriously make it seem like one...
Also I like that the last 3 comments are generally the same thing...lol don't be sheep, c'mon...

So, the main question is, How do we start to initiate these missions/suggestions, and in a way so that we help worldly issues? I'm somewhat replying to the
first post.

This is a very good point for us to stop pretending and actually do shit, I reckon we all do what we can to help people but tell them to "Thank the Dollars". We should also complete more missions and gain reknown over time, hell even stick up ambiguous posters about us in your town centre (or whatever you guys call it). We just need to do more stuff and give more credit to "Dollars" than to ourselves.

Yes indeed that the Dollar's need to be credited. Maybe next time I go to a bookstore or a library I take some sticky note's and write some advice and write "-The Dollar's" with "Look us up on Google"
I bet that's catch some attention.

>>341 Just put "The Dollars". "Look us up on Google" I think is kinda unnecessary. But it's whatever.

>>340
I don't know about YOU, but most of us aren't pretending. We do what we can. Most of us are not playing make believe, here, and I don't know why you think we are.

I personally think that if we start taking credit for things we do then it will start to seem like we just try to do this for recognition. If you think that the dollars are non-existent then fine, but remember that there are people here that are helping the world. If you think that we are not doing anything to help then leave. This site is for the people who try to help. I will acknowledged that there are just fans on this site, but don't think that no one is helping other.

Depends on what one believes the Dollars is used for.

Whether it'd be to take over the world, to believing that its used to help others, or even, just a fan-site for kiddies, it is, what a person believes what it is.

bump

bump

Don't forget the meaning of Dollars is "Not doing anything". No one here is responsible for anything, so there should not be any expectations. It will be nice to change the world, but none of us here is required to do so. Like someone from another thread stated, we are not bunch of super heroes. However I will help those within my power during the time of need.

you guys r babes

Maybe there's a large percentage of the users here that don't really do anything in real life, but hey, like others (>>348) have said,it's their prerogative to do just that--nothing.
I AM a member of local activist groups such as the occupy movement and I DO volunteer in real life, but that's my choice. If I see something on the 'missions' area here, and I think it's a good idea that's easily within realistic achievability I'll do it.
From what I've seen here on the website is that everyone's at least united by a single goal which is to do good.
Whatever good you CAN do is good enough for me.

You think occupy wall street and we are the 99% are productive?

Perhaps we should come up with a mission that we are all able to participate in, and will actually do some genuine good, instead of vying for attention as we usually do.

We need a thread with suggestions for a Dollars-Wide mission that we are all able to participate in.

As previously mentioned, WE ARE THE DOLLARS!

Does it even matter? We should be able to do what we want so what if we are just fanboys and fangirls but honestly I think we could make more of the dollars if we quit making threads about if we are the dollars or not... Spend time making the world a better place instead of questioning who we are.Better to beg for forgiveness then to beg for permission

>>353

But only a small portion of the members here are fanboys and fangirls. The rest are actual (not counting trolls), serious members.

>>354
ya i came here to make a diffrance

bumping permasaged threads off the page

Oh, look, this thread again! >:3
bump for order

this is true we need to become more active as a group

Who the fuck are you to say if we need to do more? People do these missions all the time.

"2011-10-13" the date this was posted.

Why are we still bumping this again?

>>360 cuz we feel like it aperently

>>360
I want to see what some newer members have to say. :3

I can assure you I am an active member, but I do feel like a minority in it

real. real. real. if something happens, it is real, even if we are just a bunch of fakes, we still made a group called the dollars, making us "real dollars"

We are the Dollars! I may still be kinda new on here... but I whole-heartedly believe it what the Dollars stand for. I've done quite a few missions and peopl in my school are also joining up. The Dollars have the power to change the world, AND WE WILL! Like one of my friends says, "It's the power of those who believe." ^_^

Even if we are fakes we are still going to make the world a better place

I don't care what anyone says, we are the Dollars. Whether we choose to begin to make an impact or not is up to us. We may start this of young, but as we get older, gain knowledge, and eventually gain influence in the world, we can truly make an impact. I personally am 18, so I know I have a while before I can make a real impact, but as long as others feel as I do, I will stay on this and do whatever I can to spread what I believe the Dollars should stand for.

I personally come to this site not just for the reason that yes there are others like me and that this is a reference from an anime and manga that I do enjoy, but because I too aspire to be like the anime models the Dollars to be. Helping people and making the world a better place; everyone talks about wanting to do this and as many people have posted in reply before me point out that we dont follow through with what we say we want. Yes, it would be wonderful if groups of people all in the dollars got together and did goo, but we can also do things on our own. So go out and do things on your own and be proud to say, hey, im in the dollars!! Because, we are the dollars!

i agree with rock angel

I agree with hanamura about agreeing with rock angel, that is a really good point. Whether we are going to be considered copycats by some, and possibly a true group by others, we still will make a difference.

>>370 Irony at point-blank:
Triple copycats on a thread talking about copycats supporting the copycats while being divergent from the general thinking that we are not being copycats...making them noncopycats...my head hurts.

I'd like to think we're the silent helpers of the world.
We don't need the publicity Anon or LulzSec gets.

>>371 I heard you like copycats, so I gave you a copycat so you can copycat while you copycat.

bump

id have to agree with that post for now we only exist in online groups with very limited amount of people actually doing stuff. I'm just hope this meet up thing for june 19 or when ever it was pulls through so we can get a foothold outside the internet.

So... GO OUT AND MAKE THE DIFERENCE!!! >.<!!!

this is a great post, thank you for reminding us what our cause is about!!
and I agree with #376 lets go out and make the difference!!

Im an anonymous member, and the idea of the Dollars where no one knows who the leader/ founder is great. Dollars just needs to start being aggressive in the outside world as well as Eden (the internet)

We dont forgive,
We dont forget,
We are everyone and no one,
We are Legion,
We are Anonymous

Excuse me but I wish to disagree with your statement.May I ask you the simplest question:why do you need to be recognized?Why do you need credit for what you do?If you go good for somebody,you do it because you want to,because you chose to,because that is what you think is right.People who want to be given credit for the good deeds they have done are mostly seeking attention and aren't doing it for someone else's sake.
Dollars is not an ordinary organization.It's goal is to help others but in the same time stay invisible.We are a group which also carries the idea of getting different people from all around the world together,to be as one and not feel alone.You can post anything and still keep your own identity concealed.Sure,that gives a big opportunity to trolls and such of the matter but it also makes shy and sensitive members at ease.
Think of what will happen if the Dollars 'made their name known' in public.The media will burn like wildfire and most likely innocent people will get hurt.I have seen on the site how one or two members have complained about being bullied by others because they revealed themselves as members of the Dollars.Doing something colossal would ruin our secrecy and would attract unneeded attention.

In my opinion,we should keep ourselves as we are:the silent knights who roam in the internet.We might not be big and we might not be very well known but we exist and we are strong together!

I'm still a quite newbie here, so sorry if I interfere, but do the Dollars really want to be like Anonymus or Occupy Wallstreet?
I mean, led back to fangirling, aren't the Dollars a group of individuals meeting in the Internet? Shouldn't we stand for things like the original idea in the fiction? Some here really don't take the things happening outside seriously enough and treat us like a fan-group. I say we are the real-life Dollars. We don't need to go into politics yet, since I suppose the most of us are teenagers, but we seriously could change some problems. By creating a gentler society: like helping strangers. Even minor things like throving away trash could become a huge thing if egough people would participate.
I agree with #379. Even if we are transparent that doesn't make us invisible or non-existent! If we decided to move, we could be a force equal to any other organisation.
That's why I encourage everyone to look around themselfes and help the ones in need. We are the Dollars, we keep together!

I agree, we should aim to get Dollars as recognised a group as Anonymous or Lulzsec, but we are pretty new at the moment, we haven't really had enough time for our reputation to build up.
Plus, the idea of Dollars is to do things secretly, and not take any credit for it. We just need to make the world a better place, small pieces at a time.

>>380>>381 agree!

yes i agree to!! XD

>>378

No. We don't need to be aggressive. I don't see why you think we have to be.

I never said we have to take credit for doing good. I'm all for Dollars for staying in the shadows, and we wont accomplish much if we don't be aggressive in helping people and/or society .

>>385 so by aggressive you meant action-oriented?

I LOVE YOUR WORDS XD

worldwide

I srsly think we should do somthing on a REALLY popular website, like facebook, and make a page and see just HOW many of us are real dollars. Im curious to see the number count.

We do need to be more active! I think we /should/ be recognized, but not because we need recongniton but because our actions speak loud enough to cause such a thing! I want to do more to make this a better world! I am a Dollar and proud, I should act like it! Thank you so much for the motivation! I'm now going to stalk the 'Missions' page + news.

Oh dear lord.

>>389 >>391 The second you join the site, you're a real Dollar. Get over it. Also, most of our more mature members agree that this isn't a "gang". It's an organization. We're not at all related to Drrr!! except that we got the name, site layout, and starting idea from it.

>>386
Yes

i get what your saying but i dont think we have ever tried to grab attention i mean we are just a group of like minded people that like to sit and talk because everyone we know is either stupid or boring to us :D

>>393>>393
THIS

>>395 I agree. We're just a bunch of random people communicating and doing random acts throughout our towns.

Has it really taken you this long to figure that out? Dollars isn't united the way you imagine it to be, for the most part the people on here are just fans of the show like you said, playing out fantasy without incurring social change. Logically speaking, it's pointless to seriously think about using Dollars for social change in today's society.

i agree

I never said we need to grab attention, if you read my previous post you would know that I said that i liked the idea of Dollars staying in the shadows.

DAMN RIGHT!!!
I agree with everyone here, well, most of you guys..
and i WILL step up my game too!!:)

This entire website was made to help us help others! I u do more missions it helps get rid of all the negative stuff in ur mind about the site. That's just my opinion though...

Maybe its beccause of the fact that Dollars Members are scattered around the globe. Our actions aren't concentrated so we cannot feel the impact of the group as a whole.

im a real dollars member
we need to B more active

im a real dollars member
we need to B more active

I love how the same person posted 3 times. And no one gives a shit.

You're dreaming too high. come down.

You realize that this group is what you say it is, and yet you find a need to try to convince these mostly "14-18 year olds" that they need to try to fulfill a role that's just out of reach for people that aren't even legal in most regions of the world. The whole point of the dollars is that everyone help each other eventually making an impression on the rest of the world, NOT that we change the world by spreading our name as a means of influence.

worldwide

Guys look, one thing we all saw in the dollars was there organization and how together they were. Well we all obviously don't live in suburban Tokyo, well unless the countries board and pretty much everything else i know about the dollars is wrong..

So my fellow dollars, take a risk try and meet other members in your area, don't just sit around on this website doing nothing but talking and discussing stupid subjects and other non-sense.

Don't just sit around and think "Wouldn't it be nice if the dollars were a big group who had meetings and did cool stuff?"

No. Don't think that. Do that.
So again, try and meet people in your area who enjoy the ideals of the dollars. Don't just tell your friends/ possible recruits, "Hey there's this cool anime website, want to see it?"

Don't do that, learn the ideals with those around you and if they go with the basic message of the dollars, then recruit them. This could be a really big deal if we wanted to.

I want to guys. I'm not sure about you, but I do. I care a great bit for my ideals and the dollars have those ideals. So even if you guys don't do anything because your to lazy or scared to take a step out from the front of your computer screen and meet fellow people who believe what you believe and want to change the world for the better.

Then I feel sad for your life, because if your not even willing to even talk about your true beliefs with other people, then you don't have a very good life do you? I mean, if you don't have beliefs or don;t stand up for what you believe then you don't have a life, your just there.

Not changing anything or anyone just being another smudge on the earth we call a person.

So people, post your ideas, meet up, and change the dollars first, then we can change the world and we can make the world prosper.

guys look I have never even watched Drrr! I am not a an boy I maybe 16 but I truely try to help at my my school LWHS they will never catch but still I help. >>412 Ufortunately everyoneat my town are past helping they destroy my notes, bully me worse and harrase me and my friends more.

bump....
wait..before I hit "reply"

>>413 Just what the fuck?
"I am not a an boy"
" I maybe 16"
"harrase"
"truely"

What happened to the english language?

>>413 Really? That's terrible to hear. I am concerned for this, because I've seen things like this happen all the time at schools. do I stick up for those people? Heck yes I do.

That's just one of my well, ideals, is to just stick up for the people who get messed with. It's wrong, I don't mind the "toughen you up bullying" but the just plain hurtful type, that's what I see wrong with school's today.
That there is so much of this hatred and tension yet it's been un-dealt with and left as it is.

I want to recruit more dollars to help stop all the complete crap wrong with the world.

One major goal when I joined the dollars was to recruit new members to help strengthen our cause. I mean if we could make a difference now it would set examples for people of tomorrow. A difference to help people everywhere and let no ones problems go un-heard if they speak-out. To plainly make the world a better place rather than keep it on the slow downfall we're heading into.

Weather the big change is made early like in the next few months or years or late like in the next century, it will make a difference so incredible, it is one of the most miraculous pieces of history.

I'm talking about a cultural revolution, to help the people and youth of tomorrow. If we can make one thing better, it's a start for a thousand changes for the modern society to get better.

People, don't take this as a joke. Take it seriously.

The world needs to change, badly. What is a major cultural change? A revolution. It's only a title. Yet just hearing you think of so much power in just that word.

I'm not asking you to freaking go out and act like an idiot and do something stupid to get attention for the dollars, just small acts of great character and helping your community and trying to be a better influence to those around you, is all I ask.

Which takes how much extra time out of your day really? Very little. All you need to do is make a better change for yourself before you can make a change for the world.

The dollars are not like the other "gangs" that are in the world today. We are mostly on the down load and un notice for a reason. I say that it is better this way. We are here to help out the world, not destroy it like the other ones are doing. We are not on t.v, you tube, or at all really know because some ppl will giver the dollars the wrong image.

I think that Dollars aren´t that organized or well-known yet to actually make som changes or stand up like a group. I mean...remember that it´s still a site based on the anime and even i´f there´s no fandom and there are people who actually take it seriously,it´s still taken as a fansite by some people.

Don´t get me wrong, I really want to make some changes, but it´s probably too early for us.

Bump.

There are those who stand for justice, reason, compassion, and unity for all of the prejusice in the world of thier countries. As we sit or walk while on here, we can give, ideas, motivation, inspration to those who need it most. I stand for all of this and so do the dollars.

DAMN RIGHT, MAN!!!!!!! >:D

Also, BUMP.

That's what we need! The dollars need do something, we have to step up or we'll never be known! And I'll start it doing something! Thanks for bring such an amazing inspiration!

>>423 Who says we want/need to be known?

>>424 People who think they are the collective consciousness of every member, duh.

yea we just need to start doing things in the mission board and banding together for greater causes!

Really? Who keeps bring this up!!!!!

It does not matter if people just lay and say that they are doing things, when their really not. Its you yourself that need to go out and do the missions. You dont have to sit around a worry about what everyone els is doing. Matter of fact thats part of the problem, people worrying to much about what everyone els is doing. Just go out there, and do you.

lay = lie
Need = Needs

sorry

bumping for order

I agree.

I stopped reading at around 75 or so, and I moght be repeating things that have already been said but I just reaalllyyy need to get in on this one.

You said that our origins might be why most of our members are so complacent. Well I see it that how we are at present, is exactly how the show portrayed us to be. Before the big rally, there really was no mention of the real dollars. So what was happening when other stuff was taking place during the show? Probably; this. Just a bunch of random people posting random stuff on a random website. And I find that there are way too many people who think that we should be stepping up and doing more stuff and becoming bigger orchestrators in our world's current events. Why? Because the anime said so.

And don't get me wrong; I wouldn't mond getting more involved, but it's not really my big issue.

This site is awesome for its ideas, yes, ideas. (The "i" word! Gasp!)

It really sucks that society has established norms for minimal social interaction between random strangers in public spaces. Imagine if it were perfectly normal to strike up a deep conversation with that guy who just sat next to you on the bus. But you see, its not. And something like that would probably mever happen. And thats why I love this sote so much. Its where you can randomly share your ideas with random other people who also have ideas to share. I really do believe in the power of ideas. They truly can change the whole world, the mentality of it's people. All it takes is one little thought, expressed publicly. Once an idea is planted into someone's head, that seed will blossom into a tree, which will fruit many more greater ideas. The cycle continues.

Each person carries around with them their entire life's experiences expressed as ideas. So if you look at it one way, this site could be viewed as the experience of 100000 + people, in the form of discussions and opnions.

So yeah, the power of ideas man. Woo. To conclude, personally, I don't think we have to change or become more popular to impact society. Were soing that already just by being here.

>>1 As a new member, I do want to be seen as a dollars member but, I need to say that it is true that many members want to be noticed. The dollars are invisible but always there to act and help the world from the shadows. I myself am an unnoticed aid at my school though mainly because of my OCD habits. We are the dollars and when the time comes we will change and affect the wold i the light. When that time comes we will remove our mask and fight to protect the people in our way.

I do not want others to view me as crazy for this post. Why? Because its the truth that everything changes. The dollars are no different we will change though members and motives just as every other group has over time.

Bump

>>434

Exactly. There could not have been a better point stated.

But I have something to add.
Sure, our organization originated from a show. So?

We are not a fan site. We aren't even just a site.
Like many points stated, we're just here to help the *small* problems in the world through the shadows. Do we always succeed? No. But nothing and no ones perfect.

The show may have started us off, but we became something real. Bigger than a site, bigger than a "cool rumor your friend told you about".

Some of us are blowing out of proportion how big of a difference we actually make, but more of us are extremely understating who we are and what we stand for.

We became real, and we're still just doing the small things we can together to *help* better the world. Notice the emphasis on the word help.

A lot of you think that we're here to change the world to be better singlehandedly. No. Absolutely no. We exist to help make the world better.


Isn't that what the group was intentionally created for in the show?

And like another point, the show doesn't make our current group now who we are. We were created off that idea, but *we became real*.
I can't stress enough that we aren't based off a show nor a fan site.

Hate me for this post?
Good for you.

Everyone's thoughts count for something. And I refuse to give up on the true Dollars members.

seeing that there are abunch of bullshitters and ragers ont he dollars and everyone mocks all the posts people put just for 'their' name to be seen, i dont think we could co-operate tohelp anybody.
unless the members get they act strait and people stop posting useless things on the wrong walls and get more important missions. we are not going to accomplish anything but random notes and idiots with large white paper on their chest.

>>436 exactly my point we are not a fan-site. we are invisible and we did make it our goal to help the world in its troubles. i don't really care if the world knows who we are. i just rather help the world and be unknown than help the world and be criticized for things that we didn't do.

may i add i am 12, yes i can act like a little kid at times but that's a good thing all the time i act mature because that who i am i always get confused for a 18 year old or a 20 year old. so listen, age doesn't matter. its just a number. i found this on my own and after i saw a couple of post's saying this is a rip off of a TV series i watched it. its not a rip off. we are real we are now so lets just do what we do

>>437
Yet how do you you know that? How do you know how we're going to act in terms of getting things done? Because being butthurt is a form of "seeing into the future"?

My view on this is that, we as The Dollars and as people will experience a time when we will not only act as a "shadow organization" but as an army. A war will come and The Dollars will be in it as The Dollars. don't judge this prediction. We will be organized so much so where we will not be recognized by ourselves or even the older members.

>>441
The fuck?

>>442 what, do have a problem.

:| I'm not participating in an army.

>>444 is at >>441

>>441

First: it's "Moon Warriors", not "older members".
Second: do you know how hard it is to keep this site organized as it is? Do you know how scattered we are? Even if this nonsense about "Shadow Organizations" and wars comes true, we wouldn't be able to rally or get organized at all.

>>446 I have a hard enough time organizing small events and votings :\ Nevermind trying to get an army together.

>>447 Lol, I already have a small army. Not that we have lethal guns... And NERF isn't that useful in a real war... But I have the people and organization. Should a war arise, we'd just go down to the military surplus store and pawn shops for weapons.

I would like to first congadulate the Creator of this group.

In my opinion I think creating a real-life genre of "The Dollars" would be pretty interesting. WIthaca that being said, don't expect a few downers in the beginning. I'm pretty sure when people watched the anime they wanted to be apart of something of this nature. They seeing it being a serious predicament. I say....GO FOR IT!!!! If there is any way i can help then feel free to ask. As for this org, call it a bit foolish if you wish but it can change this world. But only with the right guidance and the determination of thoughs following.

>>448 Lol, should a war arise within the next 4 or 5 years I'll be in the military. But after that, sorry guys, but I have family and friends to protect before the dollars. I'd put a message up that you can always move to my area though.

>>448 My friends' rooms are pretty much their own endless supplies of weapons. I have a friend whose dad is preparing for the apocalypse and has several years worth of food. Few people know it, but there is a fallout shelter underneath both our school and the jail next to it, as well as with shelters of various kinds in the buldings in the area since this town used to be an old military base. We have miles and miles worth of woods next to us that we know like the back of our hands, and the ocean is only a short drive away. There is also an underground shelter hidden in the pit we're always in. There are plenty of escape routes around here, and these kids do so much shit with guns that we're good with that. We do parkour and free running, and I'm damn good with both knives and guns. I like to think that we'll be good if a war ever arises with defending ourselves, but we couldn't be an opposing force, you know? I wish people would thing realistically.

Regarding the group, we have barely any organization. I don't think we could ever partake in a war as "the Dollars", you know? Half of our members are geeky kids who have probably never even held a gun before. Juding from the personal board, another quarter of them are emotionally disturbed and would probably commit suicide before the war even began.

>>451 think*

>>451 Lol, I grew up on a farm, so I have my agriculturall skills, and my hunting skills. I have a bit of first-aid knowledge, but I'll know more out of basic. I know alittle bit about carpentry (my dad knows more, and he's also a nurse, so he has enough medical knowledge). We also have horses and have shot guns our entire lives, so if shit ever really hit the fan, we'd be good.

>>451 Lol, I have blades and and fairly skilled with them, but have never held a gun. Less than a year though, and I can start preparing for the apocalypse myself by legally purchasing all the weapons I can afford. I parkour a little, but not a lot. Enough that I'd survive longer than most, though.

>>454 Just some info you might or might not know:
You have to be 21 to purchase handguns.

Any firearms purchase requires a background check.

You need a class 3 firearms liscence to purchase silencers or

fully automatic weapons, as well as a 200 dollar tax stamp "per weapon"

Any civilian model of a military rifle WILL be semi-auto

I believe most fully automatic weapons require in addition to a class 3 firearms lisence, require a military I.D.

You are right to an extent barabisama. There are people whom would be children but keep in mind there were some there age in the age of 13-plus but we mist express that this us a very serious matter. As of now we are neutral we don't have an enemy. So worrying over that won't help at the moment.


For right now what needs to be expressed is the mission if this org and EACH member needs to agree and understand. Then we concern ourselves about leadership in the said location. Since we are all over the US(assumed).

As for my training I teach ninjutsu. As well as bjj. So I have a few things I can teach.

>>456 :| No. We're not participating in a war. We don't have enemies. We're not some terrorist organization that's going to take over governments when they eventually gets disemboweled and recreated as they eventually do. You're a child at thirteen. You're a child at fourteen. You're a child at fifteen. You're a child at sixteen. Fuck, you're a child until you're eighteen (or twenty one in some states) by law. Some people are children their whole lives when it comes to their maturity level. In all honesty, this isn't an organization run by or influenced by adults, and we would need more adults if we wanted to create an army. Also, I don't agree with putting a bunch of guns in kids hands and telling them to wage war.

Plus, if we were in total war nowadays, they'd just start dropping nukes. Parkour and ninjutsu aren't going to help anything when a bomb gets dropped on your head.

>>458 get*

Yes but who said we will be at that basis of a gang....If done right things of this such can be avoided.

We are not fighters that is true.. but not all gangs are.

>>460 >>461 Moonrunes, you're talking BS. I can barely understand what you're trying to get at. We will never be in a war. It's nothing we need to avoid - there's no chance of it happening. Plus, this site would be gone in a split second if there was any chance of it; I highly doubt Reltair wants to be responsible.

And a majority of the members agree we're not a gang to agree with. This isn't a fansite. We're an organization inspired by a fictional gang. Hence dollars-bbs.org.

Yes that I know. We are not the true Dollars. But there is nothing stopping us from becomming such.

>>463 What you see is what you get. We're the true Dollars here. If you want a Dollars like the anime, go make your own website.

I have no problem with this at all I'm merely obseserving this org for now seeing the type of people here and this organic purpose

>>465 Still sounds like you're a fanboy shouting BS to me, but feel free to observe all you like, Moonrunes.

>>446 what you need to understand is that people will rise to the occassion. Even in the darkest of places there are lights that dispel all. This war may be traditional or it may be one of ideals. All I have to say is that even though we are not an anime or story we follow the rules of eqaulity. When something exist something of equal opposite can occur. This law governs all.

>>444 you must understand that the word war is a series of battles. Battles are not always ones involving a gun.

Finally I dont believe in titles like the term "Moon Warriors". older members can decide what ever name they want to be called but they are still the older members.

>>467 Oh, look. More idealistic BS.

It seems like thisold man has the same ideal as me. Well its glad to see I'm not completely alone in this

>>468 Fool who can not see or hear what you do not understand silence your self.

>>469 and to you I send my thanks

sadly most people here are not applying much effort on making the dollars existent. you tell me they will never exist well make the dollars exist.

>>470 Fool who uses too many fruity words because his arguement isn't good enough to stand by itself without them, silence yourself.

>>472 we don't need to but we can that option is there for people to see and choose. We exist in the dark and it is fine that way if you want it to change then why do want this? tell why you want us to "Exist".

>>473 all you seem to say is negative crap ok shut up and let others speak their minds. You are in no position to think less of me for my words, any more than i have the right to think less of you for yours.

>>475 Nah, I think I'll keep stating my opinion, mainly because I don't need you turning this group into something it's not. Please take your idealistic, roleplay-basd beliefs elsewhere.

>>476 based*
To be frank, we get people like you in here all the time, and you're shot down and forced to turn away within a few weeks. I don't suggest you bother. If you want a group that follows your orders and ideas, please make your own.

>>477 I'm not here to give or take orders. im here to state my mind and enjoy life.

>>478 Then you should listen when I tell you what our community has decided upon instead disregarding it as fool's talk.

>>479 You speak for every one?

I speak for what the majority of our members have discussed and decided upon previously.

Not to mention the fact that even if there was a war, fisrtly, the Dollars don't promote violence, and secondly, since Dollars would stand on both side ofthe issue most likely, we couldn't get involved without fighting eachother.

so we are tecanaly real dollars

>>482/483.
He has a point in this

worldwide

>>485 Why do you do that, anyway? It doesn't piss anyone off; it's just there. I don't see how you get a rise out of it.

>>486

Was that supposed to be a troll technique? Lol he failed

>>487 He periodically pops in and posts it. He's been doing it for well over a month now :V

Are you so self justified that you cannot see what bullshit you are feeding yourself? do you relize that you are being a hypocritical asshole who just to put everyone down for having ideas when, may I also point out, this is just a blogging website based off a freiking anime and you don' t realize that you literally aren't doing anything usfel with your human capital BarabiSama!!

This is truly and interesting place.

>>489 Your grammar is decent, but everything else you're trying to say sounds like jibberish. English, please. I want to know what you're saying so I can reply properly.

>>489 It's true that this is a blogging website, but some of us take it seriously as an organization. It's flat out rude when people come in and try to turn it into something it's not.

>>492 then you don't realize that when you feed yourself so far into this crap that you forget that there are other things, in real life, that are more interesting than sitting at a computer all day lazy idiot do something productive dumbass

>>493 PFFFFFFFFFFFFT. I bet I'm a fuckton more physically active than you. You can be part of an internet based organization and still have a life. However, people like you who go on the internet to do nothing productive except whine are the ones who are generally less active and interested in the real world. Get a life. Why are you wasting your time here if all you're going to do is complain?

We learned alot of things in this place.

>>493 You're doing the same thing right now, genious.

>>494 I know him and he's doing this for kicks he's in great shape. To him your entertainment.

>>496 genius*
Ah, the irony.

>>497 I'm in shape and he's my entertainment, as well, so I suppose we're equal. I just wish he wouldn't spam the site.

>>498 Lol, thanks for fixing my spelling.

>>497 So his entertainment is being a hypocritical asshat?

twwo GENIOUS Is HERE>494 >496

>>501 What the fuck..? English, please.

kuang 3

Whoa! Arguing won't change a thing so its best you two guys just not talt to each other? Is that better hmm?

Otherwise this will continuw with you two

you right buddy..thanks for reminds me..okay you win...but onlt in here not others!hahaha..

I have to agree with you, but there are some people who genuinely think that the Dollars are a real group worth supporting. Yea, there are a few troll here and there but what you don't realize is wether or not people who are in the Dollars have joined because they like the concept. Even if it is from a fictional show.
Shouldn't that be enough to make the group real? I don't know.

i might just be thinking out loud.

...

>>506 I feel that though this was originally an anime gang, The Dollars can be created. Given if we do what it takes to give it life. That being members who understand its purpose and are serious about it.

We dont have to be a big famous group/gang to do things like
WAll street or what anon does we can do those things ourselves

Firefly_Hotaru

>>509 I agree with that.

>>508 The Dollars are created already.
We are not the gang in the anime for a reason called, "In reality, anime life is bullshit." We have our reasons, and it's discussed further in other threads/

Some people are rather serious about the Dollars being an actual organization in the real world. If we can put our minds to it , i'm sure it can happen.

>>512 thats exactly what im saying. Its is a matter of the execution of doing this and getting it started

>>511 Because you put it into your mind that its not possible the you create the illusion. Of course some things cant happen in real world compared to the anime world but it is still possible for it to be created and also done. The key is faith and determination if you dont have that then you honestly dont belong here your self even if it isnt a real gang. The point is you dont wish it to be one. There is a good possiblity it can be created... If it fails it just does simple as that but dont be the downer for it. at least give it the chance to happen...

Your right

>>515 thank you for the cooperation and agreeing haninozuka ^_^

>>514

We already are a real group in the REAL world, who uses THIS site to communicate. What part of that don't you understand?

>>517 in accordance to the other guy we arent. We are not the real Dollars as depicted in the anime. Im saying We can be. He says not. Im saying its possible we just need faith and determination. Hes saying my words are nonsence. Im saying if they are then let it be so but DO NOT down something before it has the chance to make a diffence in life...

I personally believe this can be the dollars in the anime if we set it to be such. IF we truly are the dollars in the real life as in the anime please tell me what are some accomplishments because i am new so i dont know as much as the others. The guy said that this isnt like the anime... being having a purpose compared to the other gangs in real life. there arent many gangs that are good a few are but not many that i know of. I think this one can truly make a diff seeing we do have the example to go by.

>>518
I stopped reading after "anime".

If you want to be taken any-bit seriously enough, drop that mind-set that we can be like a fucking fictional cartoon.

In the sense of helping people in a mass way, it's possible. But it's not at all possible doing what the Anime did.

Would be so funny if the OP turned out to be a 12 year old boy... :3

>>519 As for it being like the anime did they not help in the form of masses? that is my definition of the group its self we can help just as they did. If you look at previous comments ive posted i did state that doing all the anime did is not possible. what should be done is what is possible in our world that is what im saying. Maybe my definition of the anime is a bit to broad to understand but nonetheless, it is possible to do some of the things the anime did. yet others feel it is COMPLETELY NOT possible. Do not mistake what im saying i believe it is very possible to do. Given we do what is needed.

-eliminate the trolls
-eliminate the downers
-bring in thoughs whom wish to help the cause
-bring order into the organinzation weither that be on person or not
-have all understand the purpose of this org(gang if you will)
-lead by example and do not corrupt in any fashion
-have an open mind to all members
-AND THE MOST Important.... COMMUNICATE AND HAVE ENJOY!!!!

So who would these DOWNERS be?

I agree with ウラガミサトシ. owo

>>522:

The downers are thoughs whom dont really care for it they are the ones whos saying we are not "The Dollars" its simple because they have placed in there mind that we arent the illusion of such has been created. in which is not a good thing because it can cause other members to believe the negative. Which is what we dont want to happen. As stated earlier we can do this if we have faith and determination. in additon to that we would need contact with the leader so that they can see what we are planing so they can help bring this to a reailty. If they can then it would be really helpful in the long run. if ya know what i mean. If the leader is on our side then we have a good chance. like having teams (is this site national or world wide i dont know that about this)

>>523:

Thank you for the support ^_^

>>524

no problem~ XD i don't want people trolling in rooms all the time... =.=;;;;

Only the people in dollars who have done something big but yet stays hidden to uphold dollars true form can express what worth being a dollars. Remember that dollars were formed by different people in different positions and lifestyles.

why dont we post help along with the kony2012 thingy .3.

>>527 For a lot of reasons. But go to the missions board, that's where it's at.

>>527
Because that Kony2012 crap is a rip-off and there are better ways to assist Africa than donating to IC.

Africa?

>>530 Thta's where this is Kony and LRA stuff is going down.

>>529 is it true that IC is a scam??

Its going to be hard to do things because there are a few that may scam us

>>533 Just do your research first. For instance, Kony hasn't even been seen in 4 years.

it would be nice if we had people to do like backgrounds for our missons

>>534
Being seen doesn't imply no actions taking place, though.

You never know there could be alot of us out there that take this seriously and act as the Dollars should or would i guess haha.
I think the Dollars is great alot of us come together and communicate about different things, and see there are all kinds of people out there! I'll admit i thought it would be cool to try after i saw Durarara and it is cool! It would be cool if there were like ACTUAL missions where we pull some cool stuff off and become a group that works together instead of just talking about the anime lol though, theres nothing wrong with talking about the anime ^.^

>>536 No, but when a government (or multiple governments) has been looking for someone for 4 years and still can't find them... What can a teenager in America do? It may sound pessimistic, but I'm trying to be realistic.

>>538 that's true 1 alone can't do sh** but with more people we way become a thorn in the eye for someone we just need more people

>>524 THEN YOU ARE THE DOWNER.
You're the only one saying we're not a real group!

WE ARE A REAL GROUP. WE EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD. WHY IS THAT SO GODDAMN DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? THIS IS NOT AN ANIME. NOBODY WANTS THIS TO BE AN ANIME. THE REAL WORLD ISN'T ANIMATED. THIS GROUP IS REAL. THE GROUP IN THE ANIME IS THE FICTIONAL ONE.

Ugh. Forgive the capslock. I have different problems which are influencing capslock. 'scuse me while I go to the rage thread.

>>540

Ok my slow naive friend. You stated we are not like the anime. Im saying we can be like the anime. That being ones who helps others...etc. I Never said we ARE NOT the dollars. I want us to be how the dollars are portayed in the anime there was a problem on day it was fixed the next. However, you said we are not like them. Of course there are things in the anime that will not exist in the real world. BUT that should not stop us. Besides this whole thread is redundant seeing we are the dollars like the anime. We just do that of which is possible in the real world. I was never a downer in the beginning so please do not treat me as such. YOU were the one say we arent like the anime's dollars when indeed we are given to the extent of which is possible in our world. IF my explaination of this was a bit blunt then i do apologize but i was NEVER A DOWNER. The post you just made(>>540)You stated that "We are the real group...this group is real...the group in the anime is the fictional one" well its seems your facts are a bit discombobulated my friend. Reason being, well yes we are the real dollars. But the group in the anime is what we became. Just bounded by the facts of reality. So to end this debate of "are we the real dollars or just a fake pretenders?"

The answer is simple. We are "The Dollars." The Question is... ARE YOU? *insert the uncle sam poster with him pointing at you*


Thread is Dismissed^_^

*Claps* Well done Uraga.

>>542 lol ill help you with my name. I reads Uragami Satoshi.
satoshi being my first name.

And well done with what?

um it reads lol

Well done with your paragraph ^__^ I didn't need help lol, I could read it but I wasn't bothered to say your name so I just called you Uraga.

>>545 but you do know that uragami is my last name. if you want my kun name it goes to my first name satoshi in which my kun name is sato-chan ,-san, -kun...etc

lol leave my giant paragraph alone its epic, lol i just got tired of this debate as to who we are so my last mini sentence sums it up lol just like that.

Yep I know ^__^ Then starting from now, I will call you~~~ Shi-kun ;D

Lololol that was a big paragraph though.

I shall win.

>>547 lol fine we can go with that

>>548 what exactly are you winning?

Lol this thread got completely offtopic... ._.
Nonetheless... Bumping powers! GO!

belive it or not this website has been around longer than the show and dont say then it came from the manga cause the manga came out after the show.......

Yeah . We are The Dollars~!

>>551
This has been around for almost like 2 years. The show came out in like 2008 or 2009. So...you are fucking retarded.

Maybe 2010, but this was not around before the show was created.

I think this would be pretty cool, but to be honest, people will sooner or later questions out motives and plans, then we'll be targeted -_-" It starts as a good cause but there will always be people calling themselves part of The Dollars then doing whatever they want. Sooner or later the cops always have to get involved, because they think if one member is up to bad things, we all are. We need to find a way to avoid negative attention, and make this a better world ^__^

>>551 And the show was based on a light novel (like 90% sure)

I agree with you, but I don't believe that we HAVE to become viable or even visible! I believe that the Dollars were created ti give everyone a sense of being a part of something, of being a part of a group much larger than just ourselves. So yes, we might be insignificant compared to Occupy Wall Street, or We Are The 99%, but it doesn't matter! We are us, we are happy, we are the Dollars!

Bumping stupid topic that will be permasaged down.

finally someone can beat barabi..hahhaha.sorry you LOSE

fakes pretending no one does anything

remember irondiquoit NY dollars april 5th we meet at joshua park behind wegmans on hudson and titus
5:30pm est

>>559 ;O Sorry, but I'm not beat yet~

huahuhauahuhuahuahauahuahauhuahuahauahuahuahauahuahuahauhauahua>>>561

>>557 This
I haven't been here for very long, but it seems to me that there is more talk about doing "missions" that will gain the group recognition as a whole than there is about "missions" that do the most to help out people in our daily lives. Return a shopping cart that you find in the parking lot, pick up litter, hold the door open for someone that you see, always strive to be courteous. I know these sound like very simple things, but how often do you ever see people do them out in the world?

I guess what I'm saying is that, like Rika, I don't think that this organization has to be visible to do any good in the world. All it has to do is inspire people to do something good, and instill in them the confidence that comes with being a part of a group. Regardless of what your religious convictions are, are you more respectful of a Christian who spends all of their time telling everyone about how good of a Christian they are; or are you more respectful of someone who shows the good of Christianity through their actions, but does not openly advertise it? I think even atheists would have some amount of respect for the second one.

Also, regardless of whether we actually accomplish anything major or not, or even if we don't accomplish anything at all, we are still an online community that can help to bring enjoyment to people's lives. How many boards are there that people can talk about the things they enjoy? If the website even improves one person's day through allowing them to voice their opinion or talk about what they love, then it's already done good. We don't have to be some huge organized group that communicates heavily and has multiple chapters across the world to do good; this website and it's members do something good by simply existing.

So, guys, now here comes MY opinion.

1. We, as the dollars, dont have to go 'round and let all people know, who we are. We ARE, but we dont have to tell everybody.
2. We are invisible, but that doesnt mean, we cant get anything done. For example: all the missions we do, like the "take what you need" posters, may help others but it isnt obtrusive or to hassle someone.
We are there, but we dont HAVE TO be noticed, because WE know we are there (and we are real). We can do missions and we can spread some rumors about the Dollars, so that MAYBE some people will know about this group. BUT WE DONT HAVE TO, because this isnt about being known, but about - well, about much (read 3)
3. Some of our members do the missions, some do not. And this is absolutely okay!
This group isnt about making the world a better place, even if im sure most of us want to. Thats okay too! Do as you like. Meet other members, if you want, do missions together, if you want, tell others about us, IF YOU WANT.
We dont force any member to do anything.
We CAN do some things and i WANT and WILL do some things. I started with easy missions like the poster-thing, but to be true i want to do more. Much more. Bigger things. Also i know that i cant do this alone - and because of this, its great to have the Dollars, because i know here are enough people thinking the same like me!
And together we surely can do something!
We just should think of WHAT we should do and everyone who WANT to can help, but no one has to.

This is it.

Bump.

>>563 AMEN!

i am a dollar

I'm a dollar ^^

this is true in DRRR the dollars actually did stuff and if we really want to be like those dollars we need to start doing stuff not just sit around in chatrooms

i would love for the world to thinck of us the dollars like they do in the anime that would be amazing

"if we really want to be like those [Dollars]..."

We don't. Go read the FAQ. I'm pretty sure it says in there that although we Dollars got our original idea from DRRR!!!, we don't seek to be the same as the group in the light novels/manga/anime.

Oh, and I forgot. We don't just sit around in chat. Missions board is pretty active. Also, we don't fucking want recognition. Even in DRRR!!!, the Dollars were always "colorless," and didn't seek attention.

my friends and i clean up walls that are covered in spraypaint. we try to help out....sadley there really arent that many of us to do much in chicago.

my friends and i clean up walls that are covered in spraypaint. we try to help out....sadley there really arent that many of us to do much in chicago.

Me and a few of my friends have stopped a few kids from committing suicide at our high school and clean up the streets when we can. But there aren't very many Dollars members out where me and my friends live.

Right you are.

Amen Sora!and if your looking for more dollars I'll do some missions with you if your close by.

your right.

I've got the Presidential Service Award (silver, 200+ hours of service). A lot of the service one does doesn't need to be blasted on a website, or labelled with "The Dollars did it". It just needs to happen.

>>577 I would love to but unfortunately i live in Germany and i dont think thats close by, is it?

this is because we havnt done anything to attract any atention no attackins big businesses, riots, stuff like that.

i dont believe we r pretending, but its just that we dont have contact with each other like the ppl in ikebokuro and giveing personal info is dangerous. so how should we work this out?

>>583

"but its just that we dont have contact with each other like the ppl in ikebokuro"

Implying those people you're mentioning are REAL?

The Dollars colorless. They are everything that big name organizations are not.

>>11 does an excellent job of making clear who and what the Dollars are, if anything at all.

But the problem still remains, there are those that lack passion. Recognition is not our goal, to establish it as our goal would make us anything but the Dollars. Attention distorts intent, and passion is lost in recognition. That is a fundamental aspect found within all groups big or small. The Dollars act as support. We go where need, and we leave when done. We stay unrecognized because that is the purpose. To add attention and fame to the mix would ultimately destroy the very idea of the Dollars. It distracts from the intent. We don't need people who wish to add fame, recognition, media, or attention into the mix. That is not the Dollars I believe in, and it sure isn't the one that is needed.

If completing missions and helping out brings it, then fine, it is inevitable. It is not something to be embraced however. As I have already stated, to embrace it distracts from what the Dollars stand for. We may not have a specific goal, a mission statement, or a creed, but their is still a fundamental ideology that comes with the name. The moment that's lost is the moment we lose what makes us, us.

The solution, do what is necessary to help those who need it. Be the support the world desperately craves. Brighten someones day, save someones life, affect those around you in a positive way. Where the Dollars are needed, the Dollars will go, not for fame, not for money, not for recognition, not for attention, but because it is what needs to be done.

I have only met two other people where i live that are dollars one was from an anime freak thats a friend of mine and the other was from this person that sits next to me in class but ive never met any other so we arnt fake nut there has to be a better way to plan actual events with each other

>>585 "Where the Dollars are needed, the Dollars will go, not for fame, not for money, not for recognition, not for attention, but because it is what needs to be done."

I guess thats one of the best statements on here. Thank you for making things clear!

we are actually dollars if we can do the duty to our cause.

Aye.

The real dolalrs are in japan but we can help ake this the one here. we just need plauseable clauses and missions.

>>590
1. work on your spelling and grammer
2. it was a work of fiction, not a documentary

>>591 true true.

>>587 No problem. I feel as though that wasn't the only thing you wanted to say. I read your earlier post and thought that you were trying to find the right words to explain what you thought but you couldn't put them together.

bump to get crap off main

i see were you come from and i agree we should come together it is spring break after all. were shud we meet up is the question

if you can think of a place real members of the dollars should come and meet post it alright man?

Bump

Everyone if u think we're not doing anything. think again. I've started the DABT or Dollars Anti Bully Society. Those of us in Texas are stopping bullies with annonomous tips saying the and thank the dollars. Start a DABT in ur home town!

bump o.o

>>597 Why DABT? Why not DABS?

>>593 Yeah, youre right... I am just not that good in english, thats why i couldnt explain it any better. :/

Bump~

I think that, even though we are colorless and anonymous, it is important to spread awareness that the Dollars exist. Not in the sense that we become a huge organization with an enormous amount of publicity, but just to let people know that, as Selty accurately pointed out, "This world is not as cruel as you take it to be".

Thoughts?

>>600 Hahaha. That's cool.

>>602 I understand your intentions and I see you passion, but the problem comes with that type of mentality. We are the Dollars. We spread awareness through the things we do, not because we want to spread awareness.

If completing missions and helping out brings it, then fine, it is inevitable. It is not something to be embraced however. To make that the reason why we do what we do distracts from what the Dollars stand for.

Do what is necessary to help those who need it. Be the support the world desperately craves. Brighten someones day, save someones life, affect those around you in a positive way. Where the Dollars are needed, the Dollars will go, not for fame, not for money, not for recognition, not for attention, but because it is what needs to be done.

Don't make spreading awareness a goal, let it come with actions. Make being a Dollar the goal, and see what happens. If you do, others will follow. Don't try and spread the word, try and spread emotions. Good emotions. Do things not with the hope that it will spread awareness, but because it is the right thing to do. That is a Dollar.

I think that even if you are a part of the dollars just because you are a fan or because you wan to chat that still shouldn't prevent you from trying to do a few of the missions. Me and my friends try to do at least one a month just because it makes us feel like we are helping in some way even tho we are only in high school.

i do not agree with that... that's why you created this page.. to create a group called "Dollars"....... but... yes, we copied the group name "DOLLARS" but the doesn't mean we're a bunch of fakes pretending to be dollars! we have a group called dollars.. its just a name that we coppied what's wrong with that ? for me, we're the real Dollars and we're here because we want to.. not to be "Cool" or anything else.. Dollars is just a name... don't say that yourself is fake dollar member ... its just a name :)

>>603 Huh? Is it? I dont think so ._.

But whatever. You really pointed it out (again). "We spread awareness through the things we do, not because we want to spread awareness."

Fair points on all sides. I figure the actions speak louder than words jazz sums it up. As far as "fakes" go it's inevitable there will be people who join because of the reputation of the anime and to be fair that is what started this "group" in the first place. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I just see it as a sort of division in interests of those here. Some see it as a "group" for socialising and will only see it as a fantasy with no influence on reality revolving around the anime. Other want to see it as an "organisation" with goals, ideals and such that they can put to show in the real world. Nothing wrong with either is there? There's probably other views as well but regardless choice its there choice..not much we can do about it. Raises the question of what people want you want here, fantasy or reality?

>>607 I saw someone saying the same thing so I felt like I had to say something.....lol. Anyway, yeah, you tried to say it. I got it. So I thought it was cool.

BUMP TO CLEAN SHIT!

Bumping to get rid of something stupid...

XD

I became rather inactive on this site because i didn't think anyone else thought this way on here. But i completely agree, something has to be done, we could do so much as a group but dont because we are too lazy, or dont want people to notice us. Surely one day we will get noticed no matter how much we try to avoid it, so why be so afraid of it? I say we get out there and do something, and not something for you or your friends or your family, not for your town or your country, but for the human race. I just wish people could unite, not just members of the dollars but everyone.
The problem is getting it done though, how would one unite people and bring about the big change that everyone on here keeps just talking about? Well it would certainly require sacrifice, something not many are willing to do.. but for global change, hell I'd give my life for that cause. And until people become that determined that they would too, well we will probably just keep posting on this site and talk about what should be done, rather than actually doing.
People also need to understand that people dont really like change, all those leaders out there that like their comfortable lives just how they are. So because of that to really make the kind of change many people on this topic have talked about, well you really would have to accept the fact stuff would get ugly and become worse before they got better. That is what i think is the main put off for people, they think happy smiles and being helpful will make big change, but it wont. Sure it will help individuals and by no means stop doing it, but for big change things always get ugly.
Oh and i understand i sound like a madman to most people, dont worry i get it a lot. But hey madmen are needed sometimes :P

well...as long as we each do our part and take action, that's all that matters, right? I love The Dollars and I don't want this to go to waste.

Have I really not responded to this? That's strange.

There is the well known fact that there is not leader. Reltair owns this site, but that's just about it. That means we can do whatever we really want. We don't have to go out and improve the world. We don't have to do anythign really.

This is where the main issue in our "problem" lies. We have people here that are just fanfags that watched DRRR! While they are unable to spread their fanbaby RPshit around here, it doesn't mean they aren't here. They're lurking the threads and being active in the discussions, but not active in their community to do good.

There is also the issue of how much we can do. If you look at the age thread, you'll see that a lot of them are younger. I say this from personal experience and not pride. Adults tend to ignore kids and say, "You don't know." or "You wouldn't understand." just because they're kids. It's not really like they can do anything because adults or older people won't listen or just shrug them off.

We do a lot of good though. I believe that the people who are trying and are listened to do a lot of good. I think they open people's eyes and show people that it's not all nice and cozy out there. I believe that the more intelligent people here help people understand and that the others at least give people a reason to smile.

I think it's hard to be an active part of this site and not know what's going on out there. I think that people who know what's going on will want to change it.

Are we really The Dollars or just a bunch of fanfags pretending? I think it depends on which member you look at. I've seen members that I know actively improve the community, and members that don't. The fact that there's no leader telling us what to do means that we get to decide on our own.

i love dollars and i try to do all the missions that i can :) but i would like to know if there are dollars in my area...

Wow, pretty hardcore post. Oh well. I'd rather be a dollar and help the world through the little things like what we're supposed to do then be in Anonymous and have to wear a mask and use a fake voice to scare the public into taking action. Do we need to drop 15 tons of food into Africa to be a good cause and a good group?

I personally see a contradiction in the original post. (I realize the original was a year ago, but since the discussion is still alive...) The original post calls us to arms and demands that we do "enough" good to be a media-recognized group, and then turns around and says that the arm-bands and suggestions for ways to recognize other Dollars is stupid.

I would like to ask: Why do the Dollars need to be recognized? And, what would be considered "enough" good to achieve this goal?

If we want to be "The Dollars" as the original concept from the manga suggested, then essentially we should be an invisible group of strangers - unrecognizable, unknown by the masses - doinggood deeds for the sake of doing good. Not for recognition. Not for the chance to say "I participated in this" or "This is my achievement as a Dollar," but simply for the act of spreading kindness itself.

Is it not enough, that you hold a door open for someone and smile at them, and make their day that much brighter?

Is it not enough, that you see some trash as you're walking down the street, and you pick it up to properly throw it away?

Is it not enough, that you see a person who looks sad, and you tell them that they are beautiful?

Why require massive, globally-recognized movements? Why suggest that everyone get together and do something so extreme that we have to be recognized? Is it not enough to do good things for the sake of making others smile?

Or am I the only one that can attain happiness simply by making someone else's day that much more bearable?

I don't even know why this is still going on. God, I wish this was closed or something. Sadly, it's only like half way through, before it ends up automatically closed. Whatever.

I think you are absolutely correct.
The Dollars do not need recognition. We simply do it.

I agree, the Dollars don't need any recognition. It's just doing what is right to do and not making a big deal about it.

bump

aha what did you expect Zeal? This did originate from an anime and
by looking at the threads and work done it's really a joke

We dont need recognition we are just doing whats right we dont need to be know by 1000 to help people

I suppose, if we want to make a difference, we need a goal. I mean having no leader and no rules is great, but if we want to unify ourselves, we should unify ourselves with a single goal. Without this, we are rather scattered. We're of a group of individuals instead of one whole unified body -if you know what I mean-

Some one make a thread to sum this all up when its done there are like 100 replys!

>>628 There are 628, besides this current post. Look at the post number, right next to your name.

And the thread's only half way done.

>>629

I got a good laugh out of that, you know?

So whats actually going on?

This is something every dollar needs to read. I've been thinking the same thing ever since I joined the dollars.

We do need to be more serious about some of this im 14 but im not a major fanboy like alot of people so yh i kinda agree but i dont think we need to be well know by people so yh every on read this

I think the biggest problem with this group is that there is no way to contact us without us coming here. We need a private service for our group alone that is similar to twitter or where we can get instant notifications of our current goals and objectives. Im sure there are many of us that want to do good, but we need direction and communication to get on track...

Woah, I couldn't agree more. Misuto (>>11) had an excellent post and so did Forte-kun (>>16). I must say, you've posted what I've been thinking about this site constantly. Yes, I'm thirteen and ashamed of it, thanks. But, you're correct for bringing this up; some people have tried to do missions.

The thing is, since we're all in different countries and the number of people in each town are inconsistent, well, I'll be blunt: its disorganized. We can't get anything done alone, we need a meeting place or something. A few people here and there are trying to get others aware of our existence even, being aware helps the situation but there is also a lot of negativity from the media.

Frankly, if we actually want to get missions done, we have to do just that; get them done. Now, we aren't expected to do anything; so this is probably redundant, but maybe if we were fairly organized with meeting up and getting resources individually... that might do something.

-Kiyoshi-baka

While it may be true we are based of an anime and a fair amount of the people who join are mostly just a fan base like you described there is a limit here. We are spread out. While there are large or fairly large group in NY what about other states where there are so few? Those groups you mention have so much in money facilities and other resources that we as member don't have.

This site was built on a fan base to bring together people who in general are outcasts. while yes the otaku culture is growing we are still a minority and in most cases are given a bad title among "normies". This site allows us to contact one another and share our thoughts, however random they may be. there are different threads that range from random and ridiculous to more serious.

Thought i know the original dollars are in facts fictional in origin is it wrong to want to keep the same values or customs? We are colorless and keep ourselves in the back ground. It is a common characteristic of many members to do something in the community and not be given credit but take silent appreciation for it. These groups are well known and recognizable. As Dollars we don't mind people know the name but to be that open alters who we are and makes us different than the group we are based off of. I have read about meet ups and doing events like that. don't get me wrong what those parties do is great but we have to keep in mind our roots.

There are a few different threads that address the communication barriers some of the members have mentioned. we have differnet texting groups along with an e-mail thread. if you are this concerned make your own text or e-mail group. or you can find another way to reach one another. With all the social media that is available and free make use of it. with a site this large the Admin has enough on their hands. Part of being a dollars member is showing the initiative. If you want a bigger even post it on the missions page so people around you know what you want.

The topic of "are we real" had been brought up over and over again on this site and many of out sister sites. The truth is, yes we are real. we might not be as big an influence in your area as you want us to be or maybe we are too secretive about our actions to be real to you. But in this "gang" we have freedom of what we want to do. I am another younger member and i see all the good we as dollars have done. no we aren't the most well known parties and we might not do the most elaborate missions but there are a lot of members who are doing missions or giving back to a community. we have a lot of other countries who are a part of this so that ads the issue for communication.

no not all members here take this as seriously as others do but it was the same in the anime. no group is perfect. you cant change that no matter how hard you try, especially with a group founded from fiction. it really is a personal choice to believe in this site and its members or to call us fakes.

In a few posts it had said these missions are getting done. my question to you is "what have you done to change that" before complaining about the missions and what members are doing look at yourself and the members near you. have you done any mission? have you organized an event. I hear a lot of missions being done and how that has helped people. but those members took actions. they made a site or a messenger group. some ever have a facebook page. i dont know many of the members but ill still post that i have a meeting or a plan and call all members to join if they can and want to. I have seen things get accomplished.

I don't want you to get me wrong, having people know of us isn't necessarily bad but we still should act with out being labeled too much and as the group grows bigger the easier it is to gain negative light from media or having people join to be a troll or just to cause trouble. we have no set rules or guideline. so think about it as you have a limited power to make this "gang" what you want with you words and actions.

please don't attack this post as this is just my take on it. English is my second language so it may not make perfect sense and I'm still a younger member so maybe older members or people who have been here longer can add to my thoughts. lets all be considerate and adult here eh?

We need a new name. No one will take us seriously.

>>637 While this is absolutely not a fan group, this organization of individuals was created in inspiration by the fictional group, The Dollars. What it is basically how I see it, is taking something very awesome in fiction, and making it a reality. There's no way the name would change, as everyone is so used to calling themselves "The Dollars", that's what we're called and it would be silly to change it after all this time. Also that name stands as a symbol for what we stand for, also if you ask my opinion, it's a pretty cool name.

>>638
cool name but if they search it up online which is inevitable if the dollars become popular, they'll think it's lame

I agree with Oukan. The name shouldn't and more than likely will not change. It was chosen for a reason and everyone here has joined to make the Dollars from the show a reality to make a difference. I personally like the name as well.

bump

WE ARE the Dollars! and we were started the same way as all other orginizations (boys & girls club, 4H etc...), with an idea. some one had to think of a group for the anime drrr, then they had the IDEA to make a real one. my point is that, if we were started the same way as other real orginizations then we ARE a REAL orginization. whether our original idea was for an anime or not we ARE the REAL Dollars, and we should be believe in and be proud of the Dollars orginization!! and if you don't like it or don't believe in or are proud of the Dollars orginization then maybe you should just QUIT the Dollars!! and that goes for everyone!! be proud that the Dollars CAN make a difference, and that YOU are in the Dollars!! -Anime

i just wanted this on top plus i agree with Anime >>643 we are the real dollars!

>>643 Agreed.

We are Dollars - from this site, from dollars-group.com, from any other webpage.

i'm kinda annoyed too when i see a lot of kids aged not higher than 14 and pretending to be a char from Durarara, though the group is aimed to different things

i don't know... but maybe if we live to the main objective of dollars, we may be recognized as not just any other 'kids' pretending to be someone...

..YES ITS TO PRETENDING SOMEONE ....BUT SOMETIMES I THINK WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THIS GROUP../? THAT IS THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK TO OUR ADMIN./

-_-

I see a lot of hypocrisy posted by fellow Dollars, and that saddens me. What do you people actually want? Fame? The 'gang'-feeling? Recognition? Well, then you're in the wrong place. I have a feeling many of us don't understand what we do. We try to make this world just a tad bit better not for ourselves, but for the others. We don't strive for recognition or fame, we strive for peace and happiness. We are NOT a gang, nor a charity. Simply put, we are similar to Robin Hood. We act from the shadows, and don't want anything in return. If you want something in return for your acts, then this isn't the place for you. Dollars are supposed to act semi-anonymously, yet you still expect recognition? Wrong place, again. Please understand one thing: we are here for the people, not for ourselves. We are here for those who need help, not for the media or the government. We are here to passively make changes for the better, not for worldwide recognition or fame. We are not the police or the army, not a charity. We are the Dollars, and we are their assistance. We do what they can't, and we do it covertly. Thank you.

Bump

>>651
Dux youra hypocrite the Dollars are w.e you want them to be, atleast in your own world.
To me it's more of a community then anything, but that's from a realistic point of view, I want it to grow though to a community of do gooders, do gooders that rape bad doorers *Metaphorically,
bad doorers, a place where people meet, where can talk about anything that's my vision for the dollars
alittle bit of everything
from the shadows or not it should be up to you IMO

>>653 You are right, my original post wasn't formulated correctly. It's true that it contains a lot of subjectivity, and for that i stand corrected thanks to you. However, what i wanted to say was that many people want a reward of sorts for acting anonymously. So in that sense i am right. You cannot deny that whatever you personally want the Dollars to be, it's either the one or the other: Either strive to get our name out there, or do things anonymously but don't expect any recognition from it. But, as far as i'm concerned, whoever leads this group (or is the admin), should just clarify this matter. Are we anonymous or are we not? I see many posts claiming that we are anonymous good-doers, and others shout about getting our name 'on billboards'. This causes a lot of confusion. If there's a clear statement about what we are, there will be no such problems. After all, an unmanaged and autonomic community can, sadly, only exist in anime.

No fuckin way. The dollars is kick ass. Ever since i watched anime i always liked it. We should just think of more ways to get others to know that the dollars r real i believe in it. The Dollars fuckin rock.

I disagree, The Dollars are as real as you make them. The fact that it started as a TV show idea then was made into something very real through the minds and hearts of the people within it... it's anything but fake it has this much of an impact on this many people.
Think about this: The fact that you asked "are we fake" proves that much more how real we are, also that people need to have more faith in Dollars... if people are asking that then maybe they should take a step towards saying "I'm real with this" But I can see why people would say it's fake or made-up.
The Dollars may not go around with big names on the news or winning public awards or anything, But they doesn't make us fake at all.

The first post of this thread makes me sad.

the dollars rock and why cant the dollars be just like on the cartoon of drarara .

what the heck people!! first of all look at my last post >>643 second of all don't doubt the dollars, we aren't all kids and even if alot of us are so what were always trying to get kids and teens involved in good stuff like this. so what the heck is your problem?!! we are a REAL orginization and we are REAL people!! like i said before "believe in and be proud of the Dollars!! and if you can't then maybe you should just quit!!

I agree with u and the fact that there is no reason to have self reconigtion if we can't help the world first

Guys, we need to organize, we need a map on the site to know were are the dollars in the world and organizes moviments and things like that!

>>661

>have a map already
>organize movements on Missions
>are organized

I think you're a little late, Hira.

Yew and no

I completely agree.
Eh.
The way I see it, at least this site is still ACTIVE.

Well, this is a place for people to be themselves, and remember, even if we are puny compared to other groups, we can still make a difference

Really people? just look at responses >>659 and >>643

sorry i forgot to put my signature in my last pose. -Anime X2

No matter who we are and what we most of us are good, we here feel free to communication with others, and even if someone takes this site seriously, then maybe they should show the dollar - a reality that we exist ! Dollars in fact for most of us integral part of life!

i did not understand that at all Stray Dog, sorry. -Anime

I completely agree to. I'm betting most of us don't really step out of our comfort zones whilst doing missions and most of the missions are 'cheer people up' ones. We try to make it better in the only ways we can. And also due to the average age and lack of active members (imagine if all 160,000 of us were active) we don't get much done. I don't care for recognition for the Dollars work, but we can't do anything 'big' or something to really make a difference until one of us comes up with an idea to do so or to channel our efforts.

We are Real

i think if some ting gets done it means people do belive and a lot of people do

Why would we not be real? when someone has a kid, but the kid just lives a simple life on a farm, dies at eighty, never does anything monumental, just provides, does that make him less real? Less important? The dollars are better known and more impacting, and a general bond of a familial nature. It's real.

Dollars never really was a group , ppl did this too be something fun to be a part off and if ppl want too make Dollars pop and everything but i don't think it will ever be a "real group" ..

this site was ,ade pretty ,uch for fun with fans but why not create your own group like the fictional dollars tht actually does something, just dnt give it the same name. a social movement that could do something big sounds very interesting. I would do it myself but im not great with making sites. You should still keep the structure the dollars had tho, no heiarchy and a password obtain through forums or friends to get in, plus a login accnt so memebers can receive updates and stuff. its just an idea, anywho im in class g2g.

This thread is amazingly out of date, and was made in a time when I'm willing to bet almost none of it's recent posters (past several months) were even a part of BBS.

I'm also willing to bet even less of said posters actually read this thread before jumping into "derphavemyopinion". Like jumping into a conversation with "I like chocolate" when the topic was actually about specific engine parts.

The problems this thread raised have long since died out, the people it pointed out are a dying breed that we have viciously and repeatedly purged into the chatrooms, and the simple fact of the matter is the nature of Dollars and "what" we do has been discussed and debated into the ground over several threads.

Missions do get done - If you're not a part of it, then you're part of the problem you accuse other people of being.

We are not a charity organization - missions are not required to be done to be a dollar. That's a silly requirement that no one ever enforced because it doesn't exist.

As of now, this thread is most likely the single most out-of-date and no longer applicable thread on Main. It could probably be saged or locked (locked for posterity!), and nothing of value would be lost.
