Was just thinking wouldn't it be neat if everyone got VIP for their birthdays. Obviously only for the day, perhaps they could also get some kind of birthday user title or a special birthday colour vip?

It would be cute, but not sure how they could implement. Can it be done automatically? Also, members could change their birthday so they can get VIP to check who has repped and what not - assuming it's automated.
Can you freely change your birthday in your profile? I figured the only way this could happen would be if it could be automated if it could be automated surely they can take away the option of changing your birthday on your profile, if there is one?
It most likely could be done via cron tasks but its a long job, doubt its worth it.
Bored members would also change their bday's daily.

The problem I see with it is watching for people who change their birthday to get even more free VIP. It's a very easy thing to change and all they have to do is go to User CP > Edit Profile.Quote:

By the way just give them 2 rep blocks or +10 rep points? Whenever they get their REAL bday?
Urgh, don't award them with things in the rep system. Rep needs to be earned, not given freely for trivial things :PQuote:

Why can you Change your dob anyway? Since when did people's birthdates change :L
