15/06/02 16:16:00	That's a very practical suggestion Bluejay ! It would certainly be less work for me (not that I mind doing the birthday threads !) and less posting for the members (especially in a month like this !) How do you feel about this gals ? would you miss your "personalised" greeting .

15/06/02 19:08:00	Yes, I haven't liked to say this, in case it seemed mean, but I have thought it for some time. With so many members, there are birthdays much of the time, and filling the topics with Happy Birthday threads is rather monotonous. There is also another problem, I think. If some people get more wishes, or more elaborate ones than others, or some people do not contribute to every Happy Birthday thread, it might be seen as indicating that some are more popular, liked or valued than others, and that might even cause some people to feel hurt. It might even seem, if one ignores some, that it is a deliberate slight. It's nice to get personal wishes from friends, but perhaps it would be much better to do it as a group once a month. I am sure we all like and value each other here.

16/06/02 08:11:00	Thoughts on the Birthday threads! Personally, I enjoy them, the pictures & sentiments! It's true there's quite a few posted right now, however; we can manipulate the board so that the threads don't linger too long! Posting late after the b-day keeps the thread at the top of the board. Growing up my dad would say; "if you're in by 11:00 -you're locked out". I've been late posting too, computer problems etc. If we could keep the posting within a 2-3 day limit and close the post; that'll stop the constant return. I think it only fair to begin with the New Year for monthly posting, if that's decided. The members with b-days in the past six months have gotten personal greetings and should the members with b-days to come, get a group hug?

16/06/02 08:47:00	The new year is still half a year away. I agree with what Abstorch and BlueJay have to say. Besides, I'd hate to think there was just a 2-3 day limit to say Happy Birthday to someone because not everybody can make it in time, and the thread will still be dragged to the top, regardless. And some posters do get more elaborate greetings than others and some tend to avoid certain people as Abstorch says. A monthly post of members birthdays would be alot easier for people that aren't on the computer every day, [such as myself] and it would ensure a more even greeting towards all mentioned in the monthly thread.

16/06/02 11:01:00	Indeed, the new year is six months away and as I stated earlier, for the previous six months members have gotten individual greetings. Really it matters not to me if members here wish to change. However, when we talk about who gets the most or better greetings, I don't really believe that will change with monthly postings! Take a long look at the talk & twang board and see the responses some members have received about events much more serious birthday threads. That is if anyone is really concerned about numbers of posts!

16/06/02 14:47:00	I think that the personalised greeting for the individual member is a very nice touch and though I agree that it might be rather difficult for you to keep on the top of them KF but how much work is it for the rest of us just to put Happy Birthday? I can see your point Bluejay, that not getting on every day you may miss someone but it really doesn't matter if folk post a few days later. The other point about some people getting more greetings or more elaborate ones - well who's counting and what does that matter. Some people may not get many B'day greetings from friend's and family off of the board so a thread full of greetings could be a real boost.

Its such a personal touch and i dont know about anyone else but i find it sooo exciting to log on, on my birthday to see my very own birthday thread and to see what pic shelley has posted 'just for me'. And i agree kotz some people may not get too many bday greetings from friends and family, so your very own personal thread can really make up for this.

16/06/02 20:03:00	I definitely agree with Kotz and Lady Dolphin. The birthday thread is really a very nice gesture of friendship to all those having birthdays and is, indeed, a boost on your Special Day. I can see both sides of this discussion but think it is a plus for our kf board to keep it as is.

16/06/02 20:23:00	The rule usually is, you keep the status quo unless a clear majority wants change. So far, the Happybirthdayers are in the lead, so, for anyone I may have missed, and much love.

16/06/02 22:27:00	Well how about this for a compromise ? I'll do a birthdays of the month thread and a personal one ! You can then put your message where you want . I'm sure members wont get upset if they don't get as many greetings as others as we've determined we are all grown up on this board and don't take things too personally ! Whadya fink !

16/06/02 22:32:00	I must agree with kotz, LD and m.e. I think the individual birthday greetings are just wonderful. I just don't understand how writing two simple words to some such has happy birthday can be that much of a pain in the ass. On a childish note...i love my k.d. pic and i want another one i january LOL

17/06/02 00:07:00	Hi Shelley: Vote for keeping the b-day threads as they are! Are you looking to do more work? And I don't object to how late anyone posts or the amount of threads on the board. My suggestion for closing the post was in reference to a comment made about the number of b-day threads on the board and their length of stay!

17/06/02 04:47:00	As my birthday is coming up very shortly and I don't have any family other than my two children, I appreciate all the greetings from the members of the board. I don't mind if they are a day or even a week late, it really is the thought that counts. Sometimes if I can't get to my computer I know I miss sending greetings, and maybe folk will miss my birthday, but that's life! Keep up the great work KF, and thanks in advance for my birthday greeting!
