One question: why there is no nameday greetings topic?

[foultzboyz]

What do you mean? If you mean a thread for every single birthday like "Happy Birthday [name]!", it's because we'd be pointlessly flooding the forum with birthday threads. Maybe for smaller forums (though I still never liked the idea) though this is way too big to do something like that. This thread serves the purpose of being an age/birthday reference and birthday celebration thread.

And for spamming smilies.

I think Stan means a birthday topic for username birthdays ie member anniversaries. That would be equally as pointless, though.

[foultzboyz]

That'd be a whole new thing to track. It does remind me though that the community is now over 5 and half years old, which is a remarkable lifespan for a very consistently active message board that isn't a business's message boards or anything, though a simple fan community. There aren't many others like this that have lived this long...(Mine was built before this and was actually successful, though the forum system that managed it lost all of the information in a hard disk failure...with no backups unfortunately.)

You are all wrong. You don't know what's a nameday?! O.K., should I explain it?

So I see somebody knew about it.

[Xenon]

I'm pretty sure we don't celebrate that in the UK.

[stan423321]

Um, possible. I'm pretty sure, however, why isn't it included there - someone could guess your name.

I'm pretty sure we don't celebrate that in the UK.

I just looked, name days are apparently the days of the Patron Saints like St George, St Patrick etc. Not that I celebrate any of them but on St Paddy's I usually make sure the bulk of what music I listen to is Irish. Irish pop music is soooo win lol.

[stan423321]

I celebrate it cause any reason for making a party with bunch of true friends is good.

[Acarr]

I'm just so glad we don't celebrate "Family-day" here.

What I'd like is a day off them. ^^

Hapyy birthday to Tonio and supmachin! (Next French-only members, I suppose.)

A remarkable lifespan for a remarkable community And by community, I mean all the members who took part in this great adventure. It's true that I have never stopped working on PC since it was created, but it would never have become the largest Rayman community without its members.
Now, I am ready for the next step, if it ever happens: the announcement of Rayman 4. It is a great opportunity as well as a great danger for us. If we manage to get almost everyone interested in Rayman to come here, by advertising intensively, providing the latest news about the development of the upcoming game and expanding the community to other languages, then we will be able to get an outsanding monopoly. But if we fail, the fans will just scatter all over the internet on different fan forums, and everything will be lost. It's not about being the largest community actually: it's all about bringing together all Rayman fans (and anyone else who likes the place ).
By the way, you're one of the very rare members who have been here since the beginning, and even though it's vital to have a constant flow of newbies, it's also great to know that the memory of what happened during more than five years is not lost. I don't know how you feel about it, but I realise I have changed so much since I created the place after getting unfairly banned from RZ. So many things have changed, but PC is still here, and it's somehow a mirror of the past.

Hapyy birthday to Tonio and supmachin! (Next French-only members, I suppose.)

I forgot you weren't here when supmachin posted in the English forums. It was really epic.

Happy Birthday Shawn!!!
