When I was more active on the forums, I'd try and look every day whose birthday it was and I'd send PMs to people if I knew them to wish them a happy birthday. Although someday too many people had a birthday so I didn't wish everyone one >.>
I stopped doing it, sadly, so I'd say this thread is a good idea. It's like a constant happy birthday, too, so we don't have to start a new thread each time, which is good.

Well, in Aussie time it was yesterday, but still, my Birthday is on the 17th of May, which it is still in America I believe, so yeah, I guess it's my Birthday
We've done birthday threads before. Majus, Adel, Yoshi, have all gotten them. Some of us, though, haven't. *weep sob cry*
I maintain that birthdays are a lie. You only get born once after all. What we really celebrate is the anniversary of our date of birth which is far too wordy for most people.
... I will slink into the group of inevitably forgotten birthdays, now.

Which is why so many languages use a different word. Off the top of my head, anniversaire (anniversary) in French or cumpleaños (completed years?) in Spanish.
This being said, you wouldn't have to say "anniversary of one's date of birth". You can say "birthday anniversary". I fail to see why it would be so much longer and impractical than saying "wedding anniversary" for instance.
EDIT: for that matter, you don't say "wedding day anniversary" so I guess "birth anniversary" would work fine. If it's still too long, try "birthiversary" :P

I think I'm going to start wishing people a Happy Birthiversary. I think it will catch on quickly!

Honestly, that WAS the trigger for this thread. But why not. A happy birthday thread doesn't hurt anyone. Happy birthday (again) Chyron!

Well, what can I say? My words exactly! :cool:
I love these forums.
I should really stop giving birthday wishes.

Did somebody say... birthday?
@ me
Yes and no, long story. Come, let's go to bed.
Right
Congrats!

Or, this is just reverse psychology to make sure we all count the days to October 14 now!
...maybe. I expect lots of birthday gifs.
See what I did there?
... Yeah, milestone birthdays get less and less exciting.
