I was thinking that there should be a thread for saying "Happy Birthday!" to the people, that way there wouldn't need to be a new post for each time it's someone's birthday. I believe this would be more convenient, so all the "Happy Birthdays" can be in one place, and they would be easy to locate.

Happy birthday Selena Goddess and Mobbie, may you have a fun birthday and a meaningful year! P.S What a coincidence! Selena Goddess, you're born the same year as my oldest brother and Mobbie, you're born the same year as my second oldest brother!

It's an idea, 2HD... But one which I must decline, I'm afraid. The idea of the birthday threads is to give each boardie (Who wants one. Some don't) the chance to get some attention on their special day.
It's a bit hard to get that with one generic thread.
There is usually method to my madness, you see! Or madness to my method. One of those ;D

I see Elliot, I guess it ain't exactly a bunch of kids on this Forum, some people just would rather be left alone... (not to mention a bunch of other reasons... ) Oh well, thanks for clarifying! (I bet this one's headed for the archives... luckily I'm not losing any heads over here... ;D) (Elliot's boot in motion, lifts up the post, dangles it over the archives, and... )

Are you really trying to post happy birthdays? Or are you just being foolish... Merely taking your concept to the absurd. I agree with you. ;D Oh well, the good thing about being a twoheadedragon is that when you make a good post/suggestion, you can say it's one head and when you make a bad post/suggestion you can blame it on the other...

I only archive stuff when I'm closing down whole sections. This is a valid topic to debate (And will certainly turn into a discussion on marmalade or something before long anyway ;D) so I see no reason not to leave it be

Marmalade? Boy, I haven't eaten that in years! What's your favourite flavour, Elliot?

I like a post on my birthday, cuz my mom always said I was her special little girl ;D no offence THD, but it's kinda fun, even for grown ups to have a special post just for you

I never was a marmalade fan, Ube, oddly enough. It just kind of occurred that on THIS forum going from generic birthday threads to marmalade was entirely logical and normal ;D

Happy Birthday to: Billie Holiday born today, April 7, in 1915, a terrific female jazz vocalist. If you have never heard her voice, check her out; she is unique. **Link deleted by EK** **Sorry Cleg, but the song is definitely copyrighted material. Please link to this kind of stuff rather than showing it direct. Thanks **

Just to explain further on the copyright thing: just because a fan makes a video for a song does not mean the song is not under copyright

Sorry. I had assumed that since the song was recorded 60 years ago, it was no longer under copyright. I guess I was wrong. link

I don't think the statute runs out on music the way it does on printed materials, Cleg. I'll freely admit I'm hazy on the details, but it's not an area I'm really all that happy experimenting in for obvious reasons. Thanks for understanding

Wikipedia has a lot of big articles about copyright as well as countless sources for copyleft/public domain material. Regarding sound recordings in the US they say:
Before 1972, sound recordings were not subject to federal copyright, but copying was nonetheless regulated under various state torts and statutes, some of which had no duration limit. The Sound Recording Amendment of 1972 extended federal copyright to recordings fixed on or after February 15, 1972 (the effective date of the act), and declared that recordings fixed before that date would remain subject to state or common law copyright. The Copyright Act of 1976 maintained this until 2047, which was subsequently extended by the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act to 2067. As a result, no sound recording can reliably be considered in the public domain in the United States before that date, even if the recording was in existence before 1923 and even if it originated in another country where it has entered the public domain.
And all work published before 1923 or is government works is on the public domain.

A single thread for every birthday may not work, but changing the concept slightly to make it a game like "what happened at this date in history" could.
