I'm just wondering why so many birthdays are showing for new years??? Are these bots that have registered, because the ages on some of them look suspicious such as the the birthdays of alleged members under the required age of 13 to join the forum.

There's like 6, 7 and 8 year old members on the "Todays Birthdays" who were supposedly much younger before today.. oO

Many people just choses the first option when birthday is asked for registrations to make it fast, I do it in some forums since it's faster than checking if it's a necessary step for registration and i dont really wanna post there :p

You can check, there's many with 0 posts some with just very few posts some that havent checked forums on a long time some that last activity is not very old. There's a couple bots thou :p
