But I am surprised compared to Deviantart, FA doesn't seem to not give much of a hoot about it here, I am already getting loads of birthday wishes on Deviantart, no gift arts, but just one but thats not the point. A birthday wish is all I need to know everyone cared and they can go on with there way.

And the notification is no excuse. I have seen other good artist who got birthday wishes and gift arts and other great things after leaving a message on there journals, in 5 days in advance. So why wont anyone say happy Birthday to me if I left a message in my journal in the beginning of the month?
