Doc Ryedale: you once posted a list of all of the Ghostbusters' birthdays in the dearly departed "It's Coming!" thread...while they contradict the years I use from Ghostbusters International for completeness's sake could you add them to this thread? Thanks.

Sure! Here we go:
Dr. Peter Venkman: October 25th, 1957 (October 25 is also mentioned as being his birth date on a section that used to be on GBHQ.)
Dr. Egon Spengler: December 5, 1956
Dr. Raymond Stantz: October 13th, 1959
Winston Zeddemore: May 2, 1954
As for Janine Melnitz, all it says for hers, is "Nosy little critter, aren't you!".  Louis doesn't have a profile on that site.
BTW, you know you can call me Matthew, if you want to.

They don’t just call them The Real Ghostbusters for no reason! Take a look at Take Two, Citizen Ghost, The Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline, THE GHOSTBUSTERS FACT LIST, and RGB Truly Canon with the Movies?, and you’ll see why!

Sorry about that, Matthew...I just got into the habit of calling you "Doc".
I've already added the October 25 date for Venkman to the Ghostbusters Omnibus Timeline (while keeping the 1954 year I used earlier), and as Ray's birthdate is completely consistant with official references, it will be used completely unchanged (boy, that means four of the main characters at least were born in Octovber and November). Fascinating...
Thusly, the birthdates used in the Timelime will read as follows:
Winston: May 2, 1953
Venkman: October 25, 1954
Egon: November 21, 1957
Janine: October 28, 1958
Ray: October 13, 1959
Again, thanks for the info, Matthew!

You're Welcome!
BTW, We need to tell Kingpin about this, so he can add this to his revision of the Timeline. After the Ghostbusters Fact List/Encyclopedia Ghostbusterica is finished, he's emaling it to 88mph Studios, so they'll know the background info on the Ghostbusters, their Equipment, their Technology, and their Classification System. This would really help them out a whole lot, by preventing errors in Core Continuity (I think that’s what Veedramon called it.). They’ll know what the GB’s lives were like before they started their business, and so they won’t create any confusion by renaming GB’s relatives (Should any of them ever be mentioned or appear.), or changing facts about the GB’s, themselves. They’ll know even more about the Science behind the Ghostbusting Equipment and Classification. Preventing confusion and errors in Core Continuity is VERY important. Plus, the Fact List is a wealth of information. Everything the writers will ever need to know about the Guys and their Equipment is there. They’d be crazy not to use it.
They'll have to make the Ghostbusters 20 years younger, though. Instead of:
Dr. Peter Venkman: October 25th, 1954
Dr. Egon Spengler: November 21, 1957
Dr. Raymond Stantz: October 13th, 1959
Winston Zeddemore: May 2, 1953
Janine Melnitz: October 28, 1958
It'll be this:
Dr. Peter Venkman: October 25th, 1974
Dr. Egon Spengler: November 21, 1977
Dr. Raymond Stantz: October 13th, 1979
Winston Zeddemore: May 2, 1973
Janine Melnitz: October 28, 1978
"Fascinating." - Dr. Egon Spengler, The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991).

A special treat, a small snippet from the Ghostbusters Fact List which I have worked on today:
THE GHOSTBUSTERS FACTS LIST
Revised and compiled with new info (//03)
List originally complied by: Cindy Rancourt.And then modified by contribution from RBGgen fanfic list
Special thanks: Doc Ryedale and Veerdramon for helping provide info and insites into the guys, this updated list wouldn't be here today without your help!
Compiler's Note: The current facts are gathered from the Ghostbusters movies, Real and Extreme Ghostbusters and the Real Ghostbusters comic by Now Comics, I have chosen which facts were worth mentioning and have tried my best to leave out facts which contradict themselves, the original list was compiled by
A/N: Author's Note
F/N: Factual Note
DR. PETER VENKMAN
"
His father was away a lot when he was young, so Peter convinced himself that Christmas was unimportant. Has since started enjoying it. (X Mas Marks the Spot)
Has technical knowledge: knows how to reverse the polarity on a neutron stream (Janine's Day Off); built a microwave emitter weapon (Devil in the Deep) and an ectoplasmic energy capacitor (Standing Room Only); however, his inventions tend to blow up after use, so he hasn't got TOO much technical knowledge.
Is a sports fan: Baseball (the New York Giants) (Once Upon a Slime?) fishing, hockey.
Has a collection of baseball cards (Once Upon a Slime)
Has two doctorates: psychology and parapsychology. (From movie)
Attended college as a student for seven years. (Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic)
Had two years of Engineering in college. (Last Train to Oblivion )
His weakest college subject was Economics. (Old College Spirit)
Please note, that while there is a large amount of detail that has been added to the list, it is still not finished and will require additional checking and editing to ensure the facts included are 90% correct, I hope to have it finished by the end of next week, or early next month.

I don't have any form of IM, either. But my email address is mdr8617@mac.com. I check my email EVERY day. So if you email me, chances are I'll reply later that day, or sometime around the next day. So Guys, don't hesitate to email me!
This Fact List is going to be GREAT! It's going to knock everyone's socks off! I LOVE this Fact List! I'm proud to be a part of it!
BTW, Here's that "something interesting tonight or tomorrow" that Fritz mentioned above. . .

Actually came up with a question for both of you, seeing as they aren't related to any of the original cast, should the Extreme Ghostbusters be included? I know there's facts gathered from the show, but I'm not really sure if Eduardo, Kylie, Garrett and Roland should be included on the list.

I don't see anything wrong with including them for the main document, for the sake of their Fan Fic Writers, and Fans. You'd better check with Fritz, though. He'll probably agree. He loves them.
But don't include them when you send the Special List to 88mph Studios. You could ask them if they'll ever be interested in having facts about them. If they say yes, then it would be okay to go ahead and send them.

"Love" might be too strong a word...I enjoyed it, and thought it was better than most Post-Straczynksi RGB, but let's leave it at that--I've argued about this before.
The completist in me says go for it, Ben, but the final say is yours. I would agree with Matthew that sending the data to 88MPH is completely optional, however, as Red has said he didn't care for XGB either.

Oh guys, what did you think of it? I'm just dying, pardon the pun, to know if it met your standards or not.
