Dear users, dear authors,
the old birthday thread is bursting at the seams, so here is part 2. The old overview will no longer be updated.
I have a Word doc where all birthdays are entered. Just because you aren’t listed in the overview in the thread doesn’t mean you’ve been forgotten.
Please reply in your birthday threads and also congratulate the community
Each birthday thread takes time and effort from the people sending congratulations, and from me too. It would be nice if you could find 30 seconds for a quick “Thank you all.” Writing “Happy birthday” in the community’s birthday threads doesn’t take forever either. Birthday threads are about give and take.
Birthday week instead of birthday
Sometimes I have a lot to do, like now before Christmas, and I don’t manage to create the birthday threads in time. That’s why I’m in favor of introducing a birthday week, so that there’s enough time for me and everyone sending congratulations to send birthday wishes. Birthday celebrants sometimes need a bit longer to respond too, so I’m in favor of handling this more loosely.
