Birthdays

I �m writing this message, because I would like to let more people know that V�ctor has changed something and I want to thank him for having made our lives easier once more!
Look at the list of birthdays at the top of the page, please. From now on, it will only show users with 30 points or more and only those members who logged in the website during the last 30 days!!
Yesterday, Samantha.esl raised this subject:
For those who missed it, because that post has already vanished from the main page...
Thanks a lot for your prompt reaction, dear V�ctor!!

i know I missed some of my favorite members � birthdays only because there were so many names and I got lost into the multitude of nicknames. Now it �s much easier! And fair!!!
@Mabdel: I am sure this is a solid motivation for those with less than 30 points to create an original work here!!!!  |

Yes it�s wonderful but I am indeed surprised at how few names there are - does that mean that most members with more than 30 points don�t log in at least once a month or is it perhaps than many of these members are still on vacation? |

I don �t think so, Jayho! I �d rather believe that at least 90 % of all the users in this website haven �t reached 30 points yet.  |

Hi my dear Lady
This time, so sorry, but I don �t agree with you and Victor �s decision.
For me, it goes like this:
Here we are again, refusing rights which have been previously given / offered.
Those people who have less than 30 points and who haven �t login for the past 30 days , MHO ( my friend Lady �s copyright ) may be the future homeless - Internet homeless, even in the net space, they don �t get a place. Those who don �t have, who don �t manage, who aren �t able, who don �t have the necessary skills to walk forward.
Civilized people/countries go forward and take along all the sick and handicapped along. It �s OUR duty to go on helping them, who knows? may be one or some of them will guide all of us in a very short time.
They may be lazy people... ok, may be.
They may be people who have made a login and just disappeared..ok.
They may be people who have never given anyhting to this site ...ok.
But I remember Victor pmed ( or put something on the forum ) and ask us again to confirm our birthday, right?
If so, these members can �t be put away, now.
I hate when we put people aside, sorry, I do hate.
And the birthday list was not that long! If we have time to wait for the computer to wake up, and net connection to establish and rush to get the printables we need, GOD, we have a few more seconds to check the BD list and send our BD wishes to those we know, we are friends, we want to say a special word of "thank you ".
I drive crazy, whenever we start pushung apart.
If, and only if, and only those who have already felt that ... beeing put aside ... may understand how harmful this can be.
Coming from teachers, who are supposed to integrate, this makes me think !!!!
Ok, life goes on, I have lived enough to see things go up and, next, fall down and the other way wrong... being down, down, down and then... surprisingly ... start blooming and climb up,up, up
kisses
