leave it at 30 mins and protect the great information posted. look at it this way , you take the most informative poster who has given this site some of the best "how to's" discussions over the course of a year or two. then one day he/she gets a little ticked off and removes all they have posted , leaving holes of missing posts and images in countless threads and hurting any members coming later with the same problems.

Just thinking about extended editing ( as it were) there's that site, with free hosting, killed a few hundred thousand threads. Photobucket. Ya, I know, not quite the same but boatloads of visuals are now the equalivant of lil red f'in x's. 
Ok, maybe one day I'll get over that.... naa, not gonna happen, I'll stay pissed for the duration.
