On the subject of rather its moral or not to have birthday threads, like cathb said, his revealing his birthdate sort of shows he doesn't have too much of a problem. I think the reason it is deleted from HYDEIST is because of how spammish it is to have threads of something that will be duplicated a million times over. On more active boards, the problem of people posting the same thread and message a thousand times over is a real problem, so to prevent that, they taboo certain subjects that will result in numerous duplicate threads and messages.

I will give you that HYDE doesn't and never has liked to talk about his age. Funny thing, I've never known HYDE to enjoy talking about himself much in general. When the conversation becomes about the music or the tour, you can see him getting pumped into the convo, but when it becomes about his personal life, he always seems a bit bored and annoyed.

Reference win!

I'll give you that the difference between his true looks and the PhotoShopped images is rather obvious, but I still found him extremely young looking in Baltimore. I think the main thing is that he doesn't look as much like a celebrity in person. More visible imperfections, less makeup, and no PhotoShop to aid in brightening the the tone, which will often make people appear older than they are (or in this case, moreso their age than they normally look)
