How about one Happy (Event) thread per poster per day?

[oakman29]

Well this is the beginning of the end to b- day threads. Too bad I say.

[thirdgreenham]

Happy anniversary, Oakland!

[shadroch]

If only those so offended by birthday threads would harness their energy against life's real problems, we could solve the whole poverty thing in an afternoon or two.

Slym it makes me sad. Sorry you guys felt there was any hidden agenda to them, really I just wanted to make someone's day a little brighter. Now that you have sh-t all over that, they seem to be pointless anyway. Good for you.

Oakman you tried to do a good thing-no good deed goes unpunished.

This thread is a riot

This reminds me of one job I had-I told my women co workers I did not want my birthday celebrated at work-my one friend took me out to lunch and the other women LOST IT. There was tears, screaming-the whole gamut.

This was the job I had where my first day our dept had to start counseling-one woman made fun of another woman's lunch and it escalated into a huge seething war. COUNSELING!!! I couldn't believe it.

Hey ladies I'm just here to work?

If you like posting happy birthday or anniversary to a bunch of people, ok. But what about posting one thread like:

 

 

Happy Bday! - X, Y, Z!

 

It's like selling comics on the marketplace... you don't put one per thread, you group them a bit.

 

Thoughts?

 

I agree with this.

 

A couple people have been posting large amounts of these (happy event) types of threads just to cause trouble/seek attention. They're getting out of control.

 

I agree with that as well. It isn't making anything better, even drawing attention to the "problem" as it were.

 

But, like anything else I don't want to read, I just skip them and move along.

I agree with this as well.

 

Except on my birthday, then I want my own thread.

Was there tears?

[kav]

yup

One lady finally quit.

It was all over KETCHUP. She put a lot of KETCHUP on her food.

KETCHUP!

[Azkaban]

I've got to have lots of ketchup, love my condiments

[kav]

 

She was eating and one lady said wow that's a lot of ketchup! Then the other lady laughed then she kept saying wow thats a lot of KETCHUP! Finally the lady screamed WILL YOU SHUT THE F--- UP AND LET ME EAT??!!!!

The war had begun....

[01TheDude]

sounds like kav's work as a bra salesman was pretty rough..... anyway.....

 

 

how about we pin a birthday anniversary catch all thread on CG and let all the posts and fun times accumulate on that pinned thread? Those who enjoy them can enjoy them-- those who don't won't have to look at it much.

Well, I was 14 years old. I was in my friends bathroom. His mother's brassieres were hanging on the shower rod. I picked it up, studied it. I thought, I like this. I didn't know what way or what level, but I knew: I wanted to be around brassieres.

[Icculus308win]

Oak -

You're good people - heart of gold

[kav]

If Oakland doesn't win boardie of the year I'm doubling my post rate.

If he wins, I'll knock off one post per day.

[Icculus308win]

Oak better win......

[chromium]

How about ONLY to boardies with an active post count.

 

I've always championed this idea...but why not take it a step further.

I'm sure Arch can whip up a -script (he's too old to go rock climbing by now, so has too much time on his hands anyway) where anyone who hasn't logged in for (2 ? 3 years) gets a mail telling them they have 30 days to log in or their account will get deleted.

 

Sure there are members that take a few years off and then come back, but I'm sure there are hundreds, if not more "ghost-ID's" that were created and then abandoned.

Absolutely.

 

There have been B-day threads where the B-day boy/girl doesn't even show up to say "thanks", probably because he/she hasn't posted in the last X years.
