Forums → Support Forum → user birthdays

Well, this is kind of an invasion of privacy. As you can tell, a lot of member's born dates are usually way of. The only ones you can trust are correct are the staffs. You can't even believe me maybe... Also, I have prepared a long, tedious, sleep compelling speech. Cliche'

Hey why not? But then you can keep changing your birthday everyday to the current day so yea you get the point...

eh this is and ok thing, but then I don't know if people want it to be known. Maybe a way in the Control Panel to say you don't want others to know.

well you don't have to say your birthday. just like you don't have to say your age and location.

It could be optional.

But then it would get confusing.

Well, not really confusing, but if people chose not to put it..well, maybe you won't see it.

Hmm...maybe I thought wrong.

Never mind, ignore the confusing part.

Yea, it definitely would be something that could be hidden. We do not want that shared if people don't want it to.

I think if you did something like this, people wouldn't get mad.

Well, people could really just choose whether or not they'd want their age to show. With the "Member since" thing, there wasn't really an option.

It seems like everyone wants the Armor Games Forums to be ProBoard Forums. Might as well switch to ProBoards? Edit function! Birthday function! Forum reputation function! (Mini-mods!) The list goes on! Yes, I jest.

//Commenting on the above is point(less). Just pointing out something.

If we had something like this, it would definitely need to be an option that can be privacy protected. I mean, some people got upset when we added the "Member Since" thing on the profiles.

We would also have the changing of birthdays but we can eliminate that account. People can just make a joke out of this but we can eliminate them too. I wonder if I should...

Out of curiousity, what exactly is the big deal surrounding "Member since..."? The only thing I could think of is: "oh no, people think I'm a nubz!" -- which is a stupid reason!
