If you have any other ideas, I am happy to hear them.  It is unfortunate that I have had to do this, but I really feel that the community lost some valuable information due to someone's immature reaction.  Due to the type and nature of the information lost, it is not likely that we will ever get it back, or at least spend literally years in the searching.

If it had been the typical "Ben and Mike" type threads I might not have been so concerned about it, but this was a deliberate sabotage.  I don't want to use the "greater good" type excuse, as that's been shoved in our faces enough everywhere else, but by the same token, I don't want to have the site's resources diminished over what amounts to a personal spat.

Again, as I said, I am open to other ideas, and would be very happy to find a viable alternative since I know this is a major pain in the arse for members.

Hmm...

With this in mind, I believe the time is close to start a new website:  WengerBusinessTool.org.

Seeing as I will be the supreme Overlord on WBT.O, I must demand that all posts mentioning the WBT be deleted POST HASTE, due to intellectual infringement.

Thankew.

Can we extend the edit time to a couple of days, or a week? That should be longer than most threads' active age so people can edit whatever they need, and achieve the same purpose nonetheless?

I've noticed even if your under 10 minutes, if you edit it more than 2 times you get the "edited time" in the post :(
