I'm really not sure if I'm comfortable with anybody born later than 1991 or 92 giving out their full date of birth in a stickied thread. A birthday is one thing, but a complete birthdate on a minor is something else entirely, even if it's consentual.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

Well I personally do not mind giving my birthday but I can see your point.

"No. I am Ganner. This threshold is mine. I claim it for my own. Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn. None shall pass."

Listen to it

Oh, Ouch! After months and months of being swallowed whole by Darth Work, I have a few moments to sit down to Life at NJOE and ...

Rev .... LOL! There's the parental voice of reason. That's what hit me, too. Iurus, I cast my vote with your two cents. And with Rev's first cautionary note. Any information put out on the web is a calculated risk, whether a person is a minor or not. For adults, it goes into the great melting pot of protection of identity, as well as the security of financial matters and of family.

There are a few people here who know when my birthday is. I'll let that information quietly stand.

Just so you know, Myri, it is on the list that the Admins and I can see when we view this thread.

So the Sr. Brass here know what day I need to put another candle on the cake? Big Brother is truly watching?

{{sigh}}

I expect presents, then. Lots of presents. And chocolate. And a 3-year contract with 12 weeks of paid leave. A partridge in a plum tree (I don't like pears). And a new car ... actually if you could just take the dent out of the old one it would be much appreciated!

True but in the birthday everyone goes how old are you now and you answer, then boom, they know what year you were born. So I don't see an issue.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Mariane Williamson

Hmm... I would hate to sound like a stick in the mud or like I was trying to get in anyone's business guys, and I know people listed their date of birth when they became a member, but perhaps re-posting members birthdays without asking them isn't the best idea.

Don't get me wrong, some of the grandest fun of my life was celebrating a birthday on NJOE some time ago.

I know the information is already available in other parts of the site but that was put there by the individual member of their own choosing. A "happy birthday" thread is kind of a different thing too in that it might not pop up on the exact day of the person's birthday and they would have a chance to ask for it to be taken down if they didn't approve. A permanantly stickied list of members birthdays at the top of the forum kind of speaks to some privacy issues, yes?

And on a more specific note to your question, Ben, it's a very different thing to have your full DOB on display for a short period of time (OMG I turned 16 today) and have the thread buried than it is to have one of your three primary identity features (the first two, for Americans, being name and Social Security number) on permanent display in a thread that draws attention to itself by being pinned on top of what is probably the most active forum on the board.

Lol, my date of birth is permanently visible to anyone who looks on my account name, but just for the record it's 17 June.

This is how twenty-five millenia come to a close. Corruption and treachery have crushed a thousand years of peace. This is not just the end of a republic; night is falling on civilisation itself.

Finally updated everything from the second page.

If anybody would like myself and the Admins to know your birthday but not the public, please PM me.

Also, did I hide Rev's first post in this thread (and if so, does anybody know if it was an accident) or did somebody else?

Awesome, shapoleon, that's just one day later than me!
