I'm like a little kid, because I love birthday celebrations.
I do think it would be nice if the birthday wishes were all in one thread.

I'm another bday grinch who doesn't having any interest in meaningless happy birthday wishes either for or from anonymous internet people. Was that too blunt? No! "Anything goes"..this is refupeas. No birthday wishes for you!

It's in your profile, but you can elect not to make it public. I also use a fake BD, the only reason sites like this want one is to make sure you are of proper age for the content. I am. I believe it is a huge security risk to provide your real BD unless you need to for legal reasons (credit card, school, etc.) What's the security risk? Identity theft I imagine. Anyone so minded can trawl the internet for information about a person, and an accurate D.O.B. will help them on their way. I never give my correct D.O.B. When joining internet sites.

I think it's a sweet thing to do. And I like all the names on one thread. If you don't care for it, don't put your BD in your account and don"t open the thread. Easy Peasy. I can't really see where there is anything to debate about.

I can't really see where there is anything to debate about. #1. Have you been to Two Peas? We debate everything. It's awesome. #2. If someone does a new thread for each person's, there definitely is something to debate. It takes up a bunch of the front page and keeps getting bumped up, keeping more interesting threads off the front page and overall slowing the board down/making it harder to navigate. That's how the whole conversation started. I don't think anyone has been debating the one-per-day threads that have been happening. But this just opened up the larger conversation.

If I didn't debate this then I wouldn't be following the #1 Pea law that every debate should be debated and the debater should quote and repeat every debate until typing the word debate makes you think of going fishing and using worms as debate and then you get off topic and we debate saving the whales or whether we should support zoos and Sea World which opens up a whole new can of worms to use as debate! #2 I agree with you on this. Care to debate it?

I like seeing them.
I put a fake birthday on my profile for security.

I like the birthday wishes. You never know, but a random peas birthday wish may be the only one someone gets and make their day! Fortunately those that don't care to participate don't have to!

I like the daily birthday greetings. I did vote for all in one thread. Easier for the thread author and easier for all who want to greet the birthday-ees. Might be easy to miss one or two, if individual.

I'm another bday grinch who doesn't having any interest in meaningless happy birthday wishes either for or from anonymous internet people. Was that too blunt? No! "Anything goes"..this is refupeas. No birthday wishes for you! Goobernut, I hope you are keeping a spreadsheet of all the people who've said they don't want birthday threads. Otherwise, if you mention their birthday by accident I'm sure someone will be upset! Perhaps there should be some kind of disclaimer "This message is because you have today identified as your birthday in your profile, if this is not your actual birthday please delete this message". I guess if someone wants to trawl through and collect enough information about me to log in to my bank (which, they can't because I have an online PIN but anyway) for the £20 in my current account....go for it.

Okay. Never mind then. I'm done. Huh?! I was joking? A tongue-in-cheek reference to previous Peas supposedly keeping spreadsheets? I don't know what I said that would make you be 'done'. Sorry. I like birthdays. I like the birthday threads. I like that you do them.

I think they should be all on one thread. I enjoy the birthday thread. I was disappointed when I couldn't find one on my birthday. No one wished me Happy Birthday that day and I was counting on the Peas to make me feel better. Sad I know. I mentioned I couldn't find the thread and someone started one. Then I felt bad because it felt like I was begging for birthday attention. So it would be good if someone did it everyday so everyone who would like a birthday wish gets one. Like someone said this might be the only place some people hear Happy Birthday.

I think she was joking when she said she was done because she knew you were joking. That's what I think anyhow.

I figure I should take the "out" because not everyone is thrilled. I'm not upset or mad. I simply don't have the energy to keep up with everyone's opinion.

I would like to do the birthdays . I will do one thread per day.
If your birthday was before 7/30 I apologize. I was not aware that anyone posted birthday posts.
There are days I will not be online at all. Hopefully, I will know in advance when I won't be on and I can post a thread to those I will miss, a general thread.
I hope those who wish not to get a "happy birthday." Will remove his/her dob by making it private.
I am more encouraged knowing there really are people who would love being greeted and participate than not.
Thank you all!

I will admit that, as I age, I would prefer to ignore my birthday as it only highlights a higher number each year! But secretly, it feels nice when someone acknowledges your "day".
ETA: Happy Birthday to Blue Poprocks!

One thread a day seems a good idea and I think it`s great of you to organise it goobernut2. So for my up coming dreaded Birthday in September I would like lots of sympathy and great mounds of chocolate if that`s ok?
