Subject: An Idea for Account Birthdays. (It's my BNET Birthday!)

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

It's the 15th, my accounts birthday! But, lets get cereal about this. I was thinking and I thought of this idea for when it is a users birthday. When it's a users birthday, he will see that his page says happy birthday! Like this.

Upsides to this:
*Will encourage users to come on BNET for teh lolz
*Just for fun
*New Hawtness?

Downsides:
*Takes up space

So what do you think of this idea? Approve or no?

Random fact; I just created a private group called 'Bnet Birthdays'

Dunno exactly what i want to do with it yet, but i thought it'd be nice to have a thread for peoples account birthdays seeing as though they aren't always allowed in the public forums

That would be cool.


Is that 770 messages in the corner of your screen?

I am...whimsical today.

There's something similar on Bunge.me, though it's somewhat less personal than your own suggestion.

As a point of interest, would you prefer for Bungie.net to celebrate your account's birthday, or your actual birthday. Assuming you could only have one (and that we gave B.net our actual birthdays when we joined. I forget...).

I know Bungie.me does it, but it's really dull. I think account birthdays would work better, I wouldn't want random people knowing my birthday...

It think that on the page you linked us to, there should be a covenant grunt and, with your mouse, you should be able to click its head and make it explode into confetti, with little kiddies exclaiming 'Hooray!'

I was actually thinking about doing that but then I remembered that Bungie does not own Halo anymore. :( If they did own it, I woulda put it in.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

Celebrate birthdays?

OT: That would be a nice feature, it would make everyone feel loved.

  • 10.15.2011 12:14 AM PDT

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

That would be very cool my account birthday was just yesterday. Hopefully i see this next year.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

How about a birthday cake next to their name?

  • 10.15.2011 2:08 AM PDT

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

Now, now, 'bnet birthdays' don't matter that much. Hell, a thread is overly sufficed imo.

  • 10.15.2011 2:14 AM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

It's spotlighted on Bungie.me which is pretty cool. A little message saying Happy B.net Birthday when you log in would be pretty cool though.

  • 10.15.2011 2:26 AM PDT

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Shouldn't it be 'Happy Joinday'?

  • 10.15.2011 2:45 AM PDT

Any recognition of bnet birthdays should be soley based on the ability to make a quality birthday rant thread.

And a failed attempt should be met with public ridicule.

@Geegs30

Why not have the Soul send users a message on their birthday? Something creepy yet also celebratory. I think it could work.

  • 10.15.2011 3:45 AM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

That would be epic, Unfortunately my Bnet birthday is October 8th, I'd have to wait a whole year to see it :(

  • 10.15.2011 4:52 AM PDT

I suppose, how about it says how many years old as well?

It'll make for great lulz later when Bnet gets new members who dunno what a Halo is.
