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. |

Instead of actually creating seperate forums for each user.. why not:
1. Enable "birthday's today" on the main index. 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. 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.. There are so many users on here, it wouldn't really make sense to create a thread for just one person, or for seperate days... |
