Originally, the PPMB had a single forum devoted to all topics. As with the Outpost Daria Message Board, threads formed long strings that could take up an entire page. Circa February or March 2000, the Paperpusher created two forums, with one devoted to general topics and the other presumably devoted to "Daria." He also enacted a list of [[policies]], including 1) no illegal activity, 2) no personal attacks, 3) no antagonistic behavior, 4) no hate posts, 5) no cussing, and 6) rules are subject to change without notice. Paperpusher wanted to maintain a welcome board, but was adament that he and the moderators have a free hand when things got rough.

Paperpusher appointeed his first two "[[Daria Fandom Lexicon|elves]]," or moderators, in early 2000: [[Diane Long]] and [[Kara Wild]]. Since traffic was low, the moderators seldom needed to act, and Kara Wild notes, "At times, I forgot that I even was a moderator." That would change when Outpost Daria's Message Board shut down permanently. As the PPMB post count surged, Paperpusher annointed several more moderators, including [[Chad Page]], [[Steven Galloway]], [[Crazy Nutso]], [[Kemical Reaxion]], [[Canadibrit]], [[Ben Yee]], and [[J]]. The most the PPMB ever had at one time was seven, with Kara Wild, Crazy Nutso, and Steven Galloway among the most active mods. Moderators had the option of deleting posts, deleting users, and muting users (denying them the right to post).
