This post will explain some important to-know information that everyone should be aware of upon entering the site. It also contains links to useful threads to read for new users.
Don't post your introduction here or on Main. If you want to say, "Hello!" or, "I'm new; this is cool!" then it goes in the
Introductions board. If you want to see who is in your area, it goes in the
Countries board. This is an
Indexed List of all country threads on the board.
Use the
View All Threads button on the right side of the webpage near the top [in any board]. It opens up an archive that holds all the previous threads. We do not allow duplicates, so make sure a thread hasn't been made before first.
- Computer: Pressing Ctrl+F on your keyboard opens your browsers' "find" function
- Android: open the usual menu (in whichever app; IE/MF/GC) and look for "find on page"
- IoS; To perform a search for words on the current page, tap the address bar and type your search. Tap the Find option under On This Page at the bottom of the list to search the current page.
Do not post personal information! This is an anonymous website; it's not safe to post any sort of personal information here as we can't moderate who views it. Never post someone else's name, address, number, FB link, etc. without their permission, even if it is to help them.
The chat websites are not ours. We just link to another website's chat; we can't help you if someone is spamming or if there is any other issue with it. Chances are, the people you've met in chat don't even visit this Dollars site. Please keep discussions about it off our site.
Chatroom Page Involves any chatroom dollars use currently;
Chatroom Page Update Post here if you have a *NEW* app or website where a large group of dollars have started to use, Please look for relevant posts before posting.
::**The Chatrooms run by dollars are not associated to the BBS, bringing any problems to Main is frowned upon. Please contact the administrator of those areas directly to resolve your problem(s)**::The IRC thread explains how to use our private BBS chat channel (#dollars-bbs@rizon.net). It is the only chat service which the website has control over.
Take any arguments to the
test board, so that the original thread wont fall too far from its intended purpose,anything else you post there will not be deleted.
Please don't feed the trolls. If you see a member who is spamming or purposely picking fights, don't try to argue with them. Instead, email our admin (admin@dollars-bbs.org) and inform him of the situation. You'll only encourage them to spam worse otherwise.
Useful ThreadsIf a linked thread is closed, then check the most recent posts here; someone will have posted a link to the new one.
The Frequently Asked Questions Threads (FAQ) will answer all the questions you have about the site. Ask any questions you have after reading it there. The newest version is always bumped to the first page. It explains more than basic forum etiquette; it goes into explaining how to get a password for your username (tripcode), how to deal with different types of members, explains what is and isn't acceptable, etc. It's something that is very useful to read if you're not used to these types of anonymous sites, even if it is a little time consuming to read.
Please give this:
What not to ask on 'Main' a scan because knowing this will help us keep clutter off of main.
The Status Updates Thread will keep you up to date with all your BBS friends. Let us know if you're going to be gone for a while there.
Here are a few less important but still interesting reads:The discussions in
this mis-placed thread explain why some members seem harsh
The Map Thread has a link to a Google Map where we've all put markers down near where we live.
The Localized Groups Thread is where you can join live chats with people in your area.
Information Brokering Thread is where you may learn or share knowledge with your fellow dollars
Other than that, be sure to lurk before posting ^o^ It's good practice to observe and figure out how a site works before commenting or making threads; give it at least a few days. Good luck!

Propogation**::
Do you have a friend that you want to be in the Dollars but don’t know how to properly invite them?
Or do you only follow us on Tumblr, YouTube, and/or Google+ and want to be able to access our BBS?
Send us an email to
karinalightlily+dollars-recruit@gmail.comIn that email be sure to include a way to email your friend (or yourself). We will recruit them for you.
Not only does it make the Dollars more authentic to recruit people this way, but your friend will also avoid being yelled at by a mod while they are still a new person because we will give them a crash course on how things work on the BBS and in the Dollars.
