I think it would be pretty nice if boppins made a system where that when it was your birthday, you were awarded a certain mount of ap.
I would agree with Ernie, people would change there birthday all the time just to increase there AP. Not a good idea, plus it would be hard to manage. And we have a couple of issues left, lets not put to much stress on the managing system.
what i think he was trying to say was for the anniversary of their AG account not the person's birthday
That would be easy to comprehend but not easy to run. Remember, the forums are having a hard enough time updating the cache, let alone an automatic AP awarding system that depends on a few numbers.
Besides, AP measures how active a user is, not how awesome they are.
No. People would just change their birthday every day and collect the benefits.
Wrong. I think the admins would be able to set it so that your birthday is treated as the one you had when you registered. If that's the case, then a birthday change on the profile would not change the birthday for the purposes of AP. I still think it's a bad idea. I'm just pointing out that the admins have a way to prevent abuse of the feature.
Tell that to the majority of the users on this site -_-
I've never understood that. When I first made my profile I asked two things...what the ranks were and if AP had any purpose other than unlocking armatars. /end. Why people go on rating sprees to unlock a pointless rank or spam comment...
Technically speaking, if everyone gains, say, 25 points on their birthday, that means that no one gains anything. Everyone has a birthday, so everyone would get 25 points. If they do this, you should have to post a comment/forum post for the "gift" to activate. Otherwise it would just be stupid. But they wont do it. No matter what.

I was waiting for you to say that.

That would just give an unfair advantage to users who have been here longer than others.

Again, if they had decided to add this feature, users who have been here for four years will have four times as many useless boosts as those who have been here for one.
