Shall we honor birthdays on the main forum banner?
Ellemeno:
I'd like to hear pros and cons for this:
Shall we begin announcing our members' birthdays and other celebrations (anniversaries, for example) on the main forum banner? To see the current banner, click here.
This is not "voting" per se - the number of YESES and NOS is not what will determine the outcome. But your thoughts can help us make an informed decision, one that hopefully takes into account all the good ideas expressed.

I think that would be great, if the individuals wanted it,,, i think most people would think it was ok, if they had their age listed,,,if not,,,probably not the age,, just the date

I think posting the person's name and date of the birthday would be nice. Some people may not want their age broadcast to the world, but most people probably wouldn't even have a problem with that. :D
Sheriff Roland:
Sorry if this sounds critical, but I think the wording of the poll is slanted towards a yes answer. (but I still answered no - and here's why)
1- The banner would be focusing too much on this possible right-to-privacy subject. Maybe not all members want this information to be viewed so prominently by casual visitors.
2- Many of our residents are non posters. Do we focus on all residents, or just some. Who gets to decide which ones go on the banner & which ones don't.
3- It would get stale pretty quickly. I like that the banner has become alive with new information added daily. And besides, birthdays are already in smaller print near the bottom of the home page.
