Birthday Surprises

I see how a lot of players make a post saying "Happy Birthday" for those that have birthdays... 


What *if*:


For whatever month it is, we list the players who have a birthday... and if anyone has any spare time, or is feeling generous can do a number of things as a "birthday gift". 


Could be anything you want to give from a custom graphic, a premade for a horse/dog, a layout, training, htix/dtix/ a private show or whatever. Of course no one is obligated to do any of the above, but I think it would be a cute idea to at least do something on everyone's special day?


Heck- maybe even have like a little birthday banner on you page that explodes with confetti when you click "home" on that day? Something that can be enabled/disabled? 


Just throwing some ideas out. I'd be down to do that.

I try to keep a running list of player birthdays, but it is by no means complete, so if anyone wants to be included on my ultimate list, shoot me a message!


 


I think a banner that automatically shows up on your birthday would be cool! But I'm not sure if that's something HP would be willing to do or not. 


 


As far as the rest: I don't know if HP can publish the list of player's birthdays or not each month? And it'd be a long list anyway, since most people have more than one account and they would all show up. I'd post my list at the start of each month, but I'm sure I'd leave people off and I don't want anyone to feel left out. :( 


(seriously, people, message me with your birthday if I've never posted a birthday thread in the forums for you. I'll add you. The list I have was from a forum thread over a year ago.)

That would be a cool idea!


But I don't think anyone knows mine cause I've never seen anything posted on February 9th.

I mean, I'd be down for it... to do a simple layout or graphic or something. I like doing things like that. :)


Awh Nad- I'm sure you've got a bday twin on here somwhere! I agree about the banner being super cool!


You'd log in and forget it's your birthday (I would- lol) then BAM confetti all over your page and you're like wow another year older. XD


 


They may not be able to post or list something in the forums for that due to privacy acts and such. But perhaps they'd be able to select a button that says "opt out"? I don't remember if this was the site you had to use different emails or not, but if emails were linked and you had different accounts maybe they could just list one? I'm not super technical when it comes to the algorythms and things behind a computer screen-- I'll leave that to the experts. :)
