Unfortunately a time limit is all we can allow. Imagine if people kept editing old posts all the time, some discussions would not even make a sence.
If you need to change some guide you posted please send the changes to a moderator or me to edit them.
I never had that problem on my community, but if they did edit it down the line for just the sake of it, everyone pretty much read it by then anyway, so would make them look nuts...
Usually if a topic was dead or looked dead for going on three to four months, we would chuck it into the "Archive Bin" to collect dust or depending on the forum it came from, just closed it and left it for reference.
Guess I'll have to bug some people here...

- A good point. But Lefteris_D is right... Personally I think certain threads should be editable for ever. But how to decide. One way would be to make a new post "TYPE", as in info type, and not question or debates. Or maybe the mods decide. But its nice to be able to have info posts editable.
Ulao: I agree with ya, certain threads should be "editable" forever, except RP topics or similar, though none here... People have the habit of changing characters around to cheat...
Looks like I'm losing ground here on the subject... but you could set it as when a member gains a certain amount of posts, they change into a new group, though very similar, but allows them to edit their "own" posts without a timelimit, though maybe in certain forums... Might be an IPB ideal only though...
All I can comment on the subject at this point...
