Happy Birthday Threads

T_O_Bull just posted a thread for everyone having a birthday today. They are:

Leeberwitz - 3 total posts, hasn't posted since 2008

THROW_DA_BONES - 124 total posts, hasn't posted since 2007

Vae Victis - 25 total posts, hasn't posted since 2010

HSKR4EVER2001 - 1 post, hasn't posted since 2006

kc_husker - well-known member, here all the time, a legit thread.

Not counting Bull's five new threads, there are 15 Happy Birthday threads on the front page of the Lounge.

There are a total of 17 replies to those 15 threads. Almost all of those replies are by T_O_Bull, with three by MLB 51 and one by me, and the remainder are the people the threads are for saying thank you.

Six of those 15 threads have zero replies. Another three have one reply, by T_O_Bull.

 
A lot of the ones he posts are people that haven't visited the board for years. I don't post any BD's of people that have been AWOL for >3months give or take. Or if they've been a member for 2 years with 1 post.

oh yeah I've been autolocking them also.

yyikes. Think we can ask TO to just lay off a little? Combine threads if there's going to be a ton in the same day?

How about if someone combines them or would it just be easier to delete them?

I would have only done kc husker, and then grouped silenttx and whereitall together. My other thingie is to go generic for people < 1000 posts

maybe the subforum thing is better specially if someone wants to post their own bd wish

My only gripe with a new subforum is it adds top clutter to something that isn't very important or variable. I feel an all-encompassing thread would solve the problem just the same without intruding. At the end of the day, it's not my call and it won't bother me either way.

 
How about if none of the HB crew posts bd notices. Let the members decide who to post greetings to or not.

Of course, there's always the specter of tob posting every single name that pops up.
