Agreed. In my opinion, the Happy Birthday thread shouldn't be just a spam board, but a place where RU members have the opportunity to make each other's Bdays a bit more special.

Happy Bday Gaara7817!

You can click onto their profile page and see when their last activity was. It is a few rows under the user name.

**samejamesbond** · 02-04-2011, 10:11 AM

You trolling SC?

You got me good.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-04-2011, 01:43 PM

I was just curious as to weither or not people actually knew any of these usernames that I don't recognize.

**Dudebro** · 02-04-2011, 02:30 PM

Give them a break SC they mean well. Now that they have the info on how to check activity it should get better.

Btw I find it amusing that Gaara has only two friends and neither wished him a HB.

Thanks, Sabby, from now on I'll check to see if the person has even logged in in the past 6 months.
Now, there's a good question: what should the cutoff be?
Will 6 months be sufficient?

What does your heart tell you Joegrow? For me, I normally put wishes to people I have had conversations with, or know about. I guess if you know someone who hasn't logged in in awhile, and want to wish them a Bday wish, that's cool too.

**Dudebro** · 02-04-2011, 04:45 PM

I'd say 6 months is far too long JG. When I was doing this more my cutoff was a couple weeks at most. Also, if they have no posts they probably won't notice this.

**RU Joe** · 02-04-2011, 06:34 PM

Good points, and thanks guys.
What my heart tells me is that this thread has the potential to endear people to the site through its inherent personal nature, and I personally believe it makes most members feel good to hear well wishes on their BD.
Hell, I feel good just saying that.

By going through the site calendar to see who is celebrating theirs, and then making these posts the way we do reaches out to people in a way that the typical automated pre - written form - letter BD wish most sites send to your contact e mail cannot.

However I will be checking to see if the member is more or less currently active before posting any more.
Or if there actually is a 'Hadouken'.

**Dudebro** · 02-04-2011, 06:45 PM

I think as long the posts aren't all just "happy birthday so and so" or less it should be good.

I'll send a memo around so we won't be late this time!

ON TOPIC:
I've ignored this thread completely lately in the wake of other things and so I say we should put a vote to see how many members are interested in continuing to wish people a Happy Birthday in this thread.

**Dudebro** · 03-18-2011, 02:38 AM

I honestly don't care either way.

**warghoul** · 03-18-2011, 05:13 AM

I dont even observe my birthday anymore but it makes some people feel good to be remembered.

**Dudebro** · 03-20-2011, 11:04 PM

Happy birthday Seahawk and goobaman. JG will be along shortly with your cake.
