As part of Paperpusher's desire to maintain the message board as a separate entity from the show, his caption described it simply as "A place to talk about stuff." In January 2011, after a couple of fans noted that there was nothing marking the board as a Daria board, Wild changed it to "A place to talk about MTV's Daria. And other stuff."
When the fandom had a post-DVD resurgence in the early 2010s, the PPMB was the primary forum for new and lapsed fans to hang out on. By the late 2010s, it was the only forum and so had become the social and creative hub of the fandom. If a new fanfic was written, 90% of the time it was written on PPMB.
In August 2021, the board went down due to technical issues (fans shifted to [[Lawndale-High Message Board]] for the duration). It was confirmed in mid-September that the database was secure but the install was in serious need of updating, and the current administrator [[Scissors McGuillity]] was unable to maintain it any longer. A call went out for anyone with a serious ability to take over hosting and technical support.▼
Kara Wild would transfer control of the forum to long-time moderator [[Scissors MacGillicutty]] in 2019.
▲In August 2021, the board went down due to technical issues; this had happened before as the code aged but this time, the board stayed down for weeks. (
