Why do we need a whiteboard function on here?

A good question. I sometimes use my own Whiteboard to post stuff. Usually memes I find amusing or satirical stuff or even political. Have a look at mine.

You are right....in general they never get used much. Interesting that you posted this question in this group. You did read it's title before you posted? 🤣

I find gifts sometimes limiting in expression. And if you are down to 1000 coins, you can give meaningful words to someone directly. The better question would be, why is it this way? It's all virtual anyway.

Not sure, but some people seem to like it.
