    Hello kearnsr,

    We at boards.org.uk Forums would like to wish you a happy birthday today!

    Got this from boards.org.uk.

    As far as I know both sites are owned by the same people.

    Just wondering do boards.ie do this as well? Its a nice little gesture

    I've gotten "Happy Birthday" messages from Boards for the past few years.
    It's nice, especially since most of my real "friends" forget. :(

    Yeah, O2 used send me Happy Birthday messages.

    About 4 years ago I gave my old O2 phoe to my Dad when I got a new Meteor phone.
    He occasionally gets "Happy Birthday" on my birthday and deletes them without me even seeing them. Meteor send me nothing. :(

    You can blame that birthday thing for my presence here.

    I signed up, forgot that I had and the birthday reminde brought me back.

    Nearly all forums send them (especially vB based ones), and it's always the same message more or less....

    ...and the attachment - thats only a few

    Every now and then some one responds to them, believing we have written it by hand. Its kinda hilarious but also sweet of them :)

    hehe, you are a mean admin. :)

    Imagine writing them by hand... that'd be like writing the same thing almost to 80,000 users a year... whoa! CuLt, we've got a job lined up for you every day to do while you're having your tea break..

    Ah bless their cotton socks! Those naive little noobs.

    I on the other hand do get a personally written birthday greeting from Boards. How else would it have my username in it??? Huh??

    Are there any forums on boards that have "Happy Birthday" threads ? On another slightly more casual forum I used to use they'd have Happy Birthday threads....

    1. Wait till your birthday
    2. Start a 'happy birthday me' thread in AH
    3. Happy birthday alan dunne 27, cos I probably won't be quick enough to get ibtl.

    :D

    Just kidding dude.:)

    Joking aside, there are 200k users on boards, maybe half of them are active. That means by the law of averages, it's probably 270ish users birthday every day on boards.
    That would be a hell of a lot of birthday threads.

    It's not my birthday for a good few months
    I don't use AH that much.

    There's a lot of sub forums that some people will only frequent so take some subforum, I dont know, something in sports (that isn't Soccer cause it's probably against the rules to be nice and wish someone a happy birthday .... or something) there'd be maybe a small handful of birthdays each day ?

    I dunno, just a thought. I suppose you could post it in Cuckoo's Nest

    I'm sure if you posted it in any of the forums with a chat thread - e.g the lair, yore ma's, the new photography forum chat thread, there are countless more but they are just the ones that spring to mind.. then it'd be fine.

    I agree. I was talking about posting within the chat threads.
    I should have made that clear, sorry.
