Keep the calendar, remove it from the main index.

Well, if we banned people that started birthday threads, I'd have been banned numerous times over already. I just do it because the people that post, in my opinion, deserve some recognition and know that people out there are thinkin' about them while they party hearty.

But if you're looking for an alternative to birthday threads, you might suggest to everyone that birthday wishes should be sent through PMs. Granted, some of you might get a lot already, but it'd probably take up less space and everyone would get just as much out of it, right?

The system works.

A thread wishing a happy birthday to an active member, just saying a few nice things, is quite a good idea in my opinion.

As long as they don't have misleading titles, and aren't allowed to overflow with spam, they can be pretty good. Kind of like a once-yearly chance to show a bit of appreciation for a fellow EoFFer.

threads which only consist of "happy birthday" posts over and over again really serve no purpose. Birthday threads are ok as long as people actually say something meaningful beyond the simple "happy birthday". give your birthday wishes a personal touch.

I'm sick of the misleading titles, yeah. From now on, if I find one of them, I'm changing the thread title to the basic "Happy Bithday [membername]", with [membername] being replaced with (shock horror) the member's name. Yay me.

This place isn't supposed to be fun. Where'd you get that idea?
