You don't want to allow people to delete anything at anytime. Once someone has posted after them, it's part of the conversation and needs to stay there.

[garfalk]

maketh sense.

Meh. No takebacks...

But you can edit at anytime, meaning you can go back and change what was said.

[garfalk]

unless it was quoted...i think..

what i mean is that the

quoted text

will remain constant, even if the original is edited.

[Addict]

The quoter can change the text in the quote to vary from the quote.

[garfalk]

and that. so really, there is no way to keep a conversation online constant, unless one cannot edit it, cannot quote it and / or takes a picture.

[Addict]

Pics or it didn't happen!

back in the day there were a few mods to allow such things as auto-updating quotes, and I'm pretty sure they still exist. but in forums, there is no such thing as a constant conversation.

Strangely familiar... Just like real life!
