Birthday posts are GA-ed for Non-Ladder Group only, the one who are part of Dev Team.
The reason is they are the development team and play a vital role in the up bringing of forum. Surely, its a fact and whole IF should appreciate it. But to make IF a huge success, the Ladder Group has also played a substantial part in it. They have made IF the most visited among all Indian forums. The ladder groups who post 10,000+ posts have contributed time, energy & hard work bringing it to 10,000+ posts and making the topics and forums active.
I guess people posting above 10,000, there birthday post should get stickied as GA. If not 10,000 then 15,000 but that shall be the limit. :)
I know many members are there who have made these many posts but many people are also there who haven't made these posts. If this rule is brought down, the Ladder groups such as Goldies, Dazzlers and IF rockers below 10,000 posts will get encouraged and enthusiastic reaching till 10,000/15,000 to make his/her birthday post a GA. Like this, more participation can also be seen from the Ladder Groups below 10,000 posts.
I hope the suggestion is considered.
Thanks,
Mahi.
