So I was scanning through some threads and I just had this idea:
What if we had a motto to go by?
I'm not sure if this exists already, but if it does not, then shouldn't we have one? Just something to go by... I don't have any suggestions about this, but I was hoping someone else would. Something that can sum up what we stand for!

"That would be Dollars of you"(thanks that would be helpful/nice/good) "transparent"/"invisible"/"colorless"(when trying to remind ppl of our mysterious cult-like underground-esk secrecy)"DFL"(Dollars For Life)"Mak(ing) the whole world Ikibukuro"(spread/recruit for The Dollars)"Dollars to Action"(get out and actually do something "Dollars")

Motto to go by: Don't be stupid or fuck shit up. It helps.

Shit. This should be a motto for life.

Why would we have a motto, if no one other than ourselves would ever see it? There is no point. Motto's are to be seen by others, or else you'd not have them. Plus we're a hidden group. It's just stupid.

How's this
"Help can always come from Nowhere"
11 Name: Anonymous : 2012-01-04 00:15 ID:iGC2lhrH [Del]
How about, "Nothing like Dollars to make your day richer." Then you kick the person you're saying it too...Or invite them to the website. Either way, i'm going with the kicking.

I officially reject this idea.
14 Name: Ayanavi : 2012-01-04 07:17 ID:H+LSaNY3 [Del]
We have an unofficial one. That quote that pretty much everyone remembers.
"The world isn't as cruel as you think."
15 Name: Rock Angel : 2012-01-04 11:12 ID:38q5QP6q [Del]

>>3 DFL is good
I also like
>>10 and
>>14>>9 I see what you mean, but I think it would be something to think about when we do public stuff. Like an inside joke, only it's motivational.
Just a thought...
18 Name: Masamune : 2012-01-04 18:21 ID:66xe5Q4s [Del]
>>17 Plus it could be used for finding other members without giving away the whole thing. Like if you said the motto and they knew part of it or something?
Example: one person says "Live for what you give" and another person responds with "A Dollar a day keeps the bad times away". Not saying that has to be it, just thinking of a slogan and a spoken pass code to find current members in public
19 Name: Clumzyy : 2012-01-05 18:09 ID:/j5a+6IK [Del]

trying to figure out for the dollars might be a little tough
24 Name: iHuman : 2012-01-07 13:04 ID:FdPoDQ12 [Del]
I like what
>>18 suggests. We will be able to recognize each other without being obvious or giving ourselves away.
25 Name: roen : 2012-01-07 15:43 ID:SRlO5Ipr [Del]
i made up a motto for the dollars a long time ago it "the dollars we make cents!" so yeah maybe it will work
26 Name: Tatsuo !hylilKS3pw : 2012-01-07 19:09 ID:DpapLGXi [Del]
guys we dont need a motto if we did have one then we would be going against what we mean when we are colorless and i realize that this has already been talked about with
>>9 but i believe that creating a motto for what ever reason will take away the reason we were made: for no reason
just a thought because i dont really like the idea of creating something that supposed to stand for everyone when not everyone comments or gives their opinion
27 Name: dollarsforfun : 2012-01-08 00:08 ID:fbY8tKry [Del]
lifes wat u make it so dollars make cents (sense)
28 Name: iHuman : 2012-01-08 13:29 ID:FdPoDQ12 [Del]
>>26 You make a good point... Ok, so maybe it doesn't have to be a motto, per-say, but like an inside phrase that only dollars members will get.
does that make 'cents'?
29 Name: Donchichi : 2012-01-09 00:42 ID:tuCzTXyf [Del]
I like the idea of a kinda "call and response"
30 Name: Preventer wind. : 2012-01-09 05:51 ID:KgUh7RtA [Del]
I think if we used the Cents motto we should actually use the form "Sense"

How bout, To which we are; no affinity.
32 Name: babob !JayKHwx3t6 : 2012-01-09 18:08 ID:JFxlBLRb [Del]
dont we already have one that goes;
"The world isn't as bad as you think." ?
33 Name: babob !JayKHwx3t6 : 2012-01-09 18:10 ID:JFxlBLRb [Del]
just read the replies. and yep
>>14 all the way.
34 Name: Jebus : 2012-01-09 21:14 ID:eJ0vNhFX [Del]

No.
39 Name: Fr☆nklin : 2012-01-10 01:24 ID:28tS2p26 [Del]
If we'd have to use an inside motto,
I'd go by that one that's been floating around a lot.
"The world isn't as bad as you think. "
It's simple, short, sweet, and to the point.
And I've heard it a good bit before--
so that way it can't be SO OBVIOUS
that it came from us.
If we were to just fully embrace it,
instead of claim it...
That, that could work out...

Dollars.
We don't give a buck.
44 Name: Bread!RTgBiSnMz2 : 2012-01-10 19:44 ID:EGvNTC1D [Del]
>>43OHYOU, CLEVER BASTARD!
I vote for Forte's
Not that I approve of a motto, but if we had one, it should be this one. :D
45 Name: saika : 2012-01-11 00:07 ID:pfm2fR4O [Del]
i thought the motto was "the world isn't as bad as it seems". i mean that motto was clever but if you look at some of the mission threads you'll notice that sticky note missions they say to write "the world isn't as bad as it seems".
46 Name: Darasuum : 2012-01-11 01:31 ID:dpgUWpl4 [Del]
>>45 i agree with you there saika, even though not giving a buck is cool.
47 Name: Darasuum : 2012-01-11 01:38 ID:dpgUWpl4 [Del]
I mean non of these are really mottos per-say just things that reference the dollars in a way to help brighten someones day. "dollars for change" or "dollars make change"
I dunno. Just more things to put on sticky notes.

52 Name: Daisuke : 2012-01-11 23:31 ID:S2ysX8pk [Del]
If you havent heard, we already have one. its "The world isnt as bad as you think"
53 Name: Mael !DoMiNUIT9I : 2012-01-12 02:06 ID:SA1yooEY [Del]
>>52 Kay, its not like the first 5 times that was said made everybody else go "OH YEAH, HAHA, thanks for reminding me, I guess this thread is dead."
My point is, yeah we've heard, but nobody cares. Everybody likes to give their input.
I personally like
>>47... oddly enough.
55 Name: Forte_Sigma!ljEVVXEJNE : 2012-01-12 16:13 ID:sooR8y8X [Del]
Meh
>>47Ill give it to you its nice..
because it has to do with our mission.
But mine had to do with the origin of the word.
lol
56 Name: Darasuum : 2012-01-12 20:57 ID:tnHgePnq [Del]
>>55 fair enough, im not trying to compete or anything i like your play on words i just think that the dollars should give a buck or what you mean is we contribute in actions instead of actual money, i like that. I think people will missinterpret it as meaning the dollars don't care.
57 Name: Forte_Sigma!ljEVVXEJNE : 2012-01-13 14:33 ID:sooR8y8X [Del]
>>56 The original word originates from Japanese slang that means to "lay around" or be apathetic.

>>14 "The world isn't as cruel as you think." is also good. :)
I'm with

>>47 "dollars for/make change" :)
LOL! I tagged too much. In my opinion, a motto can clarify to those who think this is only a fan site.
59 Name: *insertnamehere*!!mhJDjCwh : 2012-01-14 22:06 ID:8T1rdFbk [Del]

Who gives a damn? I don't really think of Durarara much when I'm here. Logging into this site is actually one of the only things that I dont regret. So I kinda think that having a motto is a great idea! It will give us something to remember that we are a part of the Dollars! Something that won't make us afraid or shy to make a random person happy!! :D
