Can I register a complaint here? Promptly at 11:00 p.m. CDT last night, I got a few emails from all of the discussion forums I frequent wishing me a happy birthday. It wasn't from a person. It was from a computer. Computers don't wish. They don't feel. They don't have a heart or a soul. They just blindly do as they're told. A birthday wish from a computer is less than meaningless and I'd like to see the practice stopped. I'm not angry, but I am offended and I expect better from thoughtful, professing Christians.

Hmm, are you sure THIS board is set to send out birthday greetings? Because I don't recall ever seeing such a thing. Also, you might get actual greetings if you took the time to interact and please let us get to know you. I understand your sentiment, but please balance it with a bit of grace

The board will require the option of sending birthday good wishes to be swithched on by the board admin, in doing so he has made a human decision to wish all members a happy birthday at the appropriate time. I suggest that you glow in the warmth of that human decision.
I really do not think that it is a fruit of grace to take offence too easily, especially when the intention was benign.

A good suggestion.
I've implemented a plugin that will create a thread for users announcing their birthdays.
The users will have to have a minimum of 5 posts and be active participants on the board in order to receive the posts.
