Birthday Section

[Hannah]

Make a birthday section somewhere in the forums. I suggest putting it in Off Topic: Assorted.

I personally don't see the importance of it but I think it'll be useful. It could help organize the off-topic section a little bit, I suppose.

It's not that difficult to even do, so I say sure. Just make sure post counts don't count.

[Renegade]

I agree with this as well.

dont they announce your birthday already on the bottom of the forum page?

[Hannah]

Yes but what I mean is, if it's someone's birthday and their friend would like to make a topic about it, then they can make one in the birthdays section. And not all people check whose birthday it is at the bottom of the forum page (I don't). :D

I don't think it's totally necessary...

1. Birthday notifications are already seen on the bottom, so you know who's birthday it is every day.

2. People do already make topics about it in the Off Topic: Assorted section - there aren't too many new threads opening up on a certain day, and it's easy to just click the "View New Posts" button on the top of the page to see which threads are new.

3. I forsee alot of reviving of old threads, since there would be a literal archive of birthday threads. If someone sees their friend's name in a title, even if its 3 months old, the temptation of posting birthday wishes would be too great.

4. Writing a message on their personal profile page is a great birthday wish place.

5. Birthdays are so plentiful...do you even really need a whole thread for each person? They'll have ~75 in their lifetime!

I don't see any reason to implement this. These topics are already allowed to be created in the assorted section and birthdays are already announced.

There wouldn't be any harm in this, and it's a pretty quick change to make. It definitely would help a bit with organization. I don't see any reason not to implement this.
