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.
