i know that several people have mentioned this before, but i thouhgt it would be nice to put it down officially
it's always nice to wish cb members a happy birthday, but is it really sensible to have the thread hanging around for up to a week after the event? i think there should be some sort of protocol introdued whereby all birthday threads which haven't fallen out of the first or second page by two days (or similar) after the birthday in question should be closed. anyone who wants to wish a happy birthday after that can do so through a pm. |

Here's an example:

QUOTE(jordanriane @ Jun 2 2005, 4:00 AM) 2. Have a mod gather usernames from the list (for the entire month, not a specific day), and create a thread on it, that will be purged from the message board after the month is over. since many of the registered members are not active then wouldnt there be say 7,000 peoples birthday on the message board? ... i doubt any one would look through that QUOTE(jordanriane @ Jun 2 2005, 4:00 AM) or just install a calender mod, so that instead of having to make threads, everyone can view when a users birthday is, and on their own, can send a pm to that individual, instead of creating a thread on it.. but then that will fill up the person inbox if more than 50 people want to wish them a happy birthday wouldnt it

 My name's Katt. Nice to meet you! Group: Member Posts: 3,826 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 93,674 |
We don't have any major problems with birthday threads. If you care so much about crowding, I think that once their birthday is over the thread should be deleted completely (not closed).

QUOTE(allthatglitterss @ Apr 29 2005, 9:00 PM) Maybe we should make a birthday threads section, where it doesn't raise your post count or something. i think this is a good idea. So that people can still wish others a happy birthday =) |

I agree. There should be a birthday forum instead of seeing it everywhere in the lounge. Who knows how many birthday topic there are already. haha

Someone saying "happy birthday" over and over again=spam. Yes, it's nice to wish someone a happy birthday, even someone that you don't even know, but still. it's an easy post to add to your post count.

QUOTE(MarchHare2UrAlice @ Aug 18 2005, 6:18 PM) a birthday FORUM??? you have to be kidding Exactly what I was thinking. No... we DEFINITELY do not need an extra forum/subforum for birthdays. I think the current way of handling birthday topics is absolutely appropriate. |

I think we're going to stick with the closing of birthday threads. Like after a certain number of days.
