An Official Happy Birthday Thread For Sitcomsonline Members

[opus]

I like the rare occasions with the individual threads when two people have the same birthday and it becomes a contest to see who’s more popular and gets the most replies.

All of the birthday thread drama would be eliminated if it is automated. A bot will never forget your birthday.

We should have a seperate base for birthdays Todd (One 1 site im on we do have one just for that)

Having a robot start the threads is okay with me.

When Janice left I tried to step in her footsteps with the birthday threads but unfortunately I'm so busy sometimes I don't even get on SO until the evening.

Today is Missygal21880’s birthday. They last posted 9-10-23. How far would the bot go back?

They are some pretty big shoes to fill. I appreciate you stepping up to help out. I wasn't expecting you to get up in the middle of the night to post them.

It's based on the last login date. The cut-off date is 6 months (186 days). For the automatic threads, I can exclude members with less than X posts or members joined in the last X days.

It's a little sad that we have 47 birthdays today, but only 2 of the members are still active. That's pretty typical for most days.

Automated threads posted by a robot are so impersonal.

We're all going to be replaced by AI and robots at some point if you believe some people.

The replies won't be impersonal. I see it as a reminder and a convenience.

Many people had downloaded this same add-on. Active members won't be left out in this case.

You saw when tenter asked if anyone wanted to wish her a happy birthday. The thread would have already been in place.

Im actually a her.

Also in my opinion, I think there should be one thread for happy birthday members.

Good to know. I see you have female in your profile.

I have tested the add-on. It should automatically create a new thread in Chit Chat once per day shortly after midnight if there are any birthdays. Some people have it set to hide their birthdays or birth year. The age won't be shown for those who don't have it listed.

I for one welcome our new bot overlords, with their birthday greetings and their bringing of cake

That actually doesn't sound that bad.

I do like BirthdayBot’s interests in their bio. Those are good hobbies.

I just sent a friend request to BirthdayBot. Hope they accept it.
