so, I have been on these boards for quite some time now and have noticed quite frequently that most missions to revive dollars boards fail or just dissolve on some corner of the boards.

even I don't know the cause so I want everyone of us to come together in this thread to troubleshoot and brainstrom together.

all and every ideas, criticisms and proposals are accepted.

remain colorless, remain dollars.
we must become the last glint of hope and humanity to die in this world

>>3 Tsuki once wrote about that ages ago, some quotes:

    ...when I first joined this site, it was out of a sense of curiosity, a wonderment as to whether such a community as featured in the anime Durarara would or could exist in the real world. Needless to say, the site has evolved, quite possibly beyond what most people would have imagined it to have been, to something that was greater than was posited by a simple community portrayed on a show. Yet, in some ways, the community itself seems to be a lesser entity, for we have no common goals or ideals. In some ways, you could argue that the site itself seems to itself as a sort of "organised chaos", with nothing but being part of the site keeping us all here...

    ...I just feel that there was a certain something, an unquantifiable quality which kept me returning here. At first, it was because of the other people I had encountered here and still talk to on a regular basis. But as time progressed, it felt like a morbid curiosity had possessed me and taken over my interest in the site. I'm still kind of excited as to how this site will develop from here. But the thing that keeps me here was never going to be because our group has ideals, or beliefs. Far from it, I think that dollars exists not as an organisation, or a group, but as a mere collection of individuals. Some individuals synergise better than others of course, but we were never going to be united under a single cause. There's just too many different viewpoints and opinions for us all to ever agree on a single thing...

    ...I prefer to remain as an observer, watching this fascinating fishbowl of disordered events...

I really do miss the way it was years ago… now it’s all so nostalgic, and I’m a bit sad to see the vibrant energy didn’t maintain itself. Haha, I remember during one holiday season we all planned little Christmas things we could do in our communities! And people actually did them and posted about it. The internet nowadays is so different, isn’t it? It’s all so streamlined now. I was SOOO excited when I first joined here in, what…. 2012? It was fresh and new and I showed it to all my friends, who were also drawn in with curiosity and enthusiasm.

Now, I mostly want to know who is keeping the site and chat alive and running. I want to thank them. I’m a full adult now with a job and career, and I wish I could at least help them with the cost of this place as a thank you for all it gave me over the years.

As for your question:

There is no surefire way to light a spark and maintain a fire in a place like this. There are going to be periods of activity and inactivity, and as the internet has gotten more condensed and the primary user base has grown, the traffic here slowed. But what you CAN do is post here and reply here, and use that burning desire for change and unity drive you to YOUR community. Go out and help the people in your town. Post about projects here. Don’t doxx yourself, of course, but when you see organized non-profit events, post them. Participate in them. THAT is what the Dollars was in 2012, and what it still, in some fashion, is.

I really enjoyed the small Dollars packets with a dollar(money) in it and some words of inspo thing. I'll see if I can find the thread to boost it, but I remember enjoying making them and placing one in every building I went to. I think I'd like to get my friends to start doing it too around town. Maybe we should encourage tristworthy good people we know to do this too?
