Birthday Forum Options

[*chaneun*]

i've noticed many, many, many birthday threads in the lounge, so why not have a birthday forum?

edit//
actually, what about a "personal announcements" thread?

It doesn't have to be just for birthday threads....there's plenty of things that CB members want to let others know. For instance, when I get back from France/leave for France this summer, I'm going to want to let everyone know about it somehow. That's something really cool and I'll be gone for two weeks. I don't just want to say "I'm going" in the leaving thread. I want to describe what'll go on - where we're going, what important places we're going to see, etc. Think about more than just birthday threads. I wouldn't put a thread about my trip in the Lounge because it would be considered spam. However, if there was a place to put it, I would be happy and I'd have a place to let others know. I know there's not a lot of birthday threads or even general personal announcement threads, but there would probably be more if people didn't think that everything was spam and if there was a place to put them.

As for posts getting redundant - if the topic's replies are all the same and it's been open for like, 4 days, we do have the power to close them. People always get so fussy about problems that might potentially occur, but there's mods for a reason. We can control it. If it gets too out of hand and everything turns to spam and there's no sense in controlling it, then we can take the forum away.

I don't see why not.
