An Official Happy Birthday Thread For Sitcomsonline Members - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Zoneboy · 03-13-2007, 02:40 AM

Instead of separate threads dedicated to one person, Why not have an official happy birthday thread dedicated to all members. It might also make a good sticky topic. The only reason I'm suggesting this is because everyday several members here celebrate their birthday and to single one person out with a thread dedicated solely to them seems ridiculous because no member here is more or less important than another.

All active members get a birthday thread, but if you'd like to make a thread and list everyone (even the ones who've never posted or haven't posted since 2003), then by all means, be my guest.

It was just an idea but I can see the point of what you're saying.

I think it is nice that everybody gets individual attention for their birthday. There is nothing wrong with the birthday threads we have now.

I'm sorry, I haven't noticed any individual threads except those dedicated to Tripperfan, yourself and a couple of others. There's probably more but I haven't took the time to look. I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to start a thread for someone that hasn't posted here in 3 years.

You're not looking hard enough. Here's what came up in a search of "Janice and Happy Birthday".

Janice has been creating birthday threads for many people for several years. If it bothers you, don't read them.

I think it's great that everyone get's their individual birthday threads and Janice should be commended for it. She's been doing it ever since I've been a member here. You must not be paying attention because their are birthday threads made practically everynight. You have to have your birthday listed on your profile if you want one though otherwise nobody will know when it is.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that it bothered me and it doesn't. I just didn't realize that she's being doing it all this time. I just wanted to make a suggestion, I didn't expect everyone to come down on me like a ton of bricks.

You're probably right I might not have been paying much attention and mine is on file.

I agree with most of you, I think it's great that SO members get birthday threads.

How about an official birthday thread for actors and actresses? Everyday I see about 4-5 different birthday threads for actors and actresses and hardly anyone ever posts in them and they just take up space IMO.

I don't mean to come down on you. I just think Janice's birthday threads are special and mean alot.

I have been reading some older threads in this section. It might be a good time to revisit this idea.

What does everyone think of having one Official Happy Birthday Thread? I know some sites have it that way.

Janice started the birthday thread tradition. She made them personalized and special. She was very dedicated in creating them.
She would often get up in the middle of the night or stay up late just to post them. It hasn't been the same without her. She has been greatly missed.

We could stick with the current individual birthday thread by committee approach. I think most fairly active Chit Chat and overall members usually get one, but sometimes we forget. I don't want anyone to feel left out.

Please let me know what you think about having one thread. We have a lot less active members than we used to. The birthdays are listed on the main page only for members who have logged in the last 6 months (186 days).

No! I don't one combined birthday thread for everyone. Individual threads are a lot nicer.

TJ · 02-18-2024, 08:20 PM

Another option would be to install an add-on which automatically creates a new thread. This way all still active members would be mentioned. It would create one thread per day when there are any birthdays.
