i think there should bea little banner or runner at the top of the page, below the tabs, stating a random user's birthday, with a link to that user. to prevent ghost users, simply dont include people that dont have 25 AP or so and/or 1 forum post. this name would cycle every 10 seconds or so. bad idea??? good one?

Sorry, my brother is trying to get on my nerves. Stupid brother...

Anyways, it's a bad idea. It would be really annoying and some people are currently making birthday thread. I really hate it when people do that. It's a waste of space.

This is a feature used (and wanted) on social websites like FaceBook and MySpace, but not something useful to implement on this >>gaming website<< if you ask me...

I agree on the 'Who's online right now feature' being more wanted here on ArmorGames, so...

Guess we'll all have to wait for the 'Apocalypse' to find out if it's revived again! =D

I think if Armorgames does this, you should have to submit
your birthday for it to show up, because some people won't want their
birthdays shown to random strangers.

You have to submit your birthday for this to work, otherwise there is no way of knowing when your birthday is.

It's inevitable that at least one user will abuse this system by changing their "birthday" to the current date every day. That would put them on the main page pretty often, giving them an incredible amount of "happy birthday" comments. If that isn't spam, I don't know what is.

Let's implement 'Who was active within the past 5/10/15 minutes' first.


I like that Idea.

We need a Users Online thing and that Red Dot to go Green when people go online.

Why did that Red Dot stop going green when online? I remember last year when it used to work.

What about a special page for birthdays where it posts the users, their age and their amatars?

it lagged the pages, cuz it always had to pull live, up-to-date information from the server.

I just think theres to many users birthdays a day to do that and young users will want to spend the whole day waitting for ther username to show up.

the idea is not as great as you think it would be. nobody would be paying attention anyways when you are playing a game instead...
