good Idea. The person could get 5 - 20 VG$ for their birthday, too.

How many professional websites do you see with people's birthdays plastered across the front page? NPD? Nintendo? Sony? Microsoft? It just doesn't go with a professional image. This site suffers from a lack of credibility and ioi is addressing that by improving things. This would be a step backwards.

Then to keep a professional image, what if instead of having it on the front page, all members receive a daily VGC private message stating the date, News for members only and a list of birthday Usernames.

Sounds more sensible!

Professional image eh? Well he'd better do something about those ads all over the front page telling me "how to make her climax every single time".

It's a fantastic idea. It could perhaps be placed just below the area where it states the amount of users online.

Something like this:

31st March
