Shows Birthdates, the same date on what the users inputted as when signing up to the forum.

I believe it would be more engaging and beneficial if we used Registered Date instead for the following reasons
- Privacy Protection (i know you can disable it but some people most likely put in a fake birthday anyways) which brings onto next point
- Actual birthdays can be used maliciously, some members may have forgotten (or straight up dont know) how to turn it off
- Encourages Engagement -> recognizing and highlighting anniversaries (like work anniversaries) for reaching x mileage.
- It's a neutral stance. Since, registered date is standard across the board whereas some users may (or may not) want to share their birthdays so data is always skewed.
 
Good idea to remove the birthdays option - I've gone ahead and disabled that stat.

I have looked into adding join date birthdays instead, but can't seem to figure out how to implement that. I think this is something we'll have to look at later.

I'll mark this as resolved for now though as I think the main issue was removing the birthdays stat.
