Forum Change: Removing the Birthday System - yrmt - 28-03-2014

Currently, the user profile shows the user's birthday,

I think this feature has no place on this forum and should be removed:

- the mybb calendar feature is disabled
- age shouldn't count on a community like this

Maybe you still could keep the date without the year so you still know when it's somebodies birthday and just say Happy Birthday on the irc?
I personally know 4 birthdays of other nixers; yours, fb0x', mafia's and Vompatti's.

I'm not particularly bothered, would it would be nice to know, if only to give a bit of context to some of the IRC discussions. I've been confused about how old people are before :p

Fixed :)

I don't like people judging due to age, so I am pleased to see it's removed, but I'd definitely enjoy a birth-date feature, just so we could possible congratulate others?:D
