Dollars, Something to lose your head over.

So, recived a link on Deviantart to this group called dollars I decided to join and while looking for a descripton to pass on to here one of the other members named Trillby summed it up best with the following words:

i agree


frankly im surprised no trolls have showed up, it means that this is some serous shiz <3>
XD Heck, yeah! All the members and still no one who's gone around making trouble. That definitely has to show something about us.

@ Kinomi @Slayer67: Agreed! I know I'll help. We shall bring the banhammer of mighty justice down upon those trolls, no matter how they might increase our member count! Members who troll are not members at all.

You're definitely right.
This has become something where people could connect to others; something much more than just a kool group to join.

That's true. On a lot of sites, there seems to be some sort of "Theme" or "Topic" that interests people into joining. That might be debate, which interests debaters. That might be anime, which interests otakus or just the common anime fan. It might be roleplay. Even though, technically anyone can join those sites, those who aren't interested at all will pass them on. And trolls not particularly interested will target even the most innocent sites.

But, here, the theme is something far more broad and pure. It can be summed up in one word (DRRR fans will know what I'm talking about when I say this): CONNECTIONS. We want to be connected to people through the natural human instinct to form unity. In a way, this is probably why Twitter has become so popular. Its purpose is quite similar, though it is not made clear. But, here we spread information not through multiple tweets, but in one set of boards. We talk not with just a few characters, but through paragraphs and essays if we feel we want to. Fewer rules. And those here feel less isolated and pressured into posting something (which is an action required to enjoy Twitter). We can see each other for who we are, not as just viewers or tweeters.

Our purpose is the reason why we have not been trolled (yet, maybe). Our methods of attaining that purpose (through conversation in forum) is the reason why we can feel so unified and together by realizing that we are all people. We celebrate difference here, as seen in the threads about anime and favorite fruit - I haven't caught a single instance of anyone bashing anyone else for any reason at all despite the many differences. Instead, we focus on the similarities and, through this kind environment and the many things we find that we have in common with others, we realize something great:

The world is not cruel. No one is truly alone. And there is always someone, somewhere in the world who sees something the same way you do.

That is what Dollars is. And, so long as we keep our intentions as they are - strong and pure - that is what Dollars always will be.

Yet another thing to forget about for years...

Wintercon 2009

Well I had fun at the wintercon and even though we were up till midnight the night before putting everything together and me having problems with my computer that night every thing came together and moved seamlessly through the day my AMV panel was well attended along with all the others panel, along with Dead Fantasy and all the amv hell amv minis were enjoyed by all as you can see by this post from one of the people at 8-bit fix that i had the opportunity to meet




Cross-posted from 8bitfix http://www.8bitfix.com/profiles/blogs/wintercon-09

December 13th was a great day for me, not just because of the 8bitfix Christmas party that weekend but also because of Wintercon. Wintercon 09 was a small anime convention in Socorro Texas and I have to say for being a small convention and it being their first year as well as the location being a bit out of the way, it was good. The El Paso Collective (El Paso's Japanese Fashionistas, the El Paso Otaku Society, El Paso Sci-Fi, and the Anime Appreciation Society of El Paso) did a great job of keeping things safe as well as fun. Additional sponsors were Happi Robot, who had a booth, Nicecube, Funimation and Gamestop. From the scavenger hunt to the game room and the cosplayers wandering around (I enjoyed seeing the Klingons) there was a lot to see. Though I did get a fish slap from Mitsu early on in the day it was a lot of fun, and no fish were harmed in the slapping.

We arrived a little late, around 1:00, so we did miss some things like the AMV construction panel and some of the anime shown earlier, K-ON, Dennou Coil, Hana Kimi, and Nyan Koi. I also wish I had made it there in time for Anime Bingo. One of the most entertaining things I got to see was the Sumo Suit wrestling, Toxic couldn’t resist and jumped in line right away, he actually beat his opponent, though he didn’t get to teabag him like the two had agreed to before the match.

There was not a lot of room, so there was only one video room but the anime shown was great, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Air Gear, Mushishi, and Macross Zero to name a few. In the main room in between panels they also showed random AMVs such as AMV Hell, and also the Dead Fanatsy series, which I really enjoy watching but had only seen up to part two so seeing the other three was great. They also had anime trivia, but we spoiled it for ourselves and knew what the prizes were before the game started, we ran into the one who got the prizes at Nicecube so we saw what he got for the prizes. The artist alley was also great, alot of talent and great items to choose from from drawings to crafts.

I usually don’t enter tournaments, but Toxic had signed up for the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 tournament and he needed a partner, so as we breezed through our first round, only because we had no one to play against, we knew we would get beat in the second. We were, and I have to say that losing to an 8 or 9 year old never gets any easier, but I don’t really ever enter tournaments so this was new for me, it was still fun though. They also had a Halo 3 tournament and a Tekken Tag tournament.

What anime convention would be complete without cosplayers? None I say, and Wintercon had its share of them. The cosplay contest was short but entertaining and we got to see some really great cosplay. There were Klingons as well as Kingdom Hearts, FLCL, Full Metal Alchemist and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya just as a few example of what we saw. All of the cosplayers were great and didn’t mind the pictures.

The band was great, Nausicaa is a more heavy sounding rock group, but they got my attention right away. Seeing a band live is almost always better than hearing them over speakers and Nausicaa’s energy was great. They had shirts and also passed out demo CDs during the convention, which we listened to on the way home. You can check out Nausicaa’s MySpace page HERE. At the end of the convention they also had a dance for the last two hours, but the drive was long so we left before it really got started, if anyone was there for it let me know how it went.

All in All I have to say that Wintercon was better than I expected. It was a little out of the way and being on a Sunday it was different but worth the drive. The turnout was pretty good, not a huge crowd but a decent sized one for the size of the hall and for it being the first year. If there is a Wintercon 2010 I’m sure it will have an even better turnout and will do even better than this year. At times it seemed like things finished a little early and you would be waiting for the next event to start, but even during that time music was played or videos were shown, so it worked out. I know that I will be attending next year if they have it and I’m sure Toxic will as well. Did any of you make it this year, if you did let me know if you had a good time as well?
