Hi djrayne,

As GCW is a large and popular site, you can expect _all_ stuff related to backing up games and playing with backups to be uploaded pretty much as soon as released.

For this reason, it makes no sense at all to ask for no-CD patches. Since there's no sane way to make people understand this, without restricting requests, that _do_ make sense (e.g. old games), too much, this "two weeks" rule has been proposed.

Yeah, 10 days is only a bit less than 14 days. So, why not change the rule to 10 days only? But, if so, people should be able to request no-CD patches within a week because that's only 3 days less than 10 days. But then why not change the rules to 7 days only? Etc. etc., you get the idea... We're back to whereever we started from: floods of senseless requests.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this sentence. Please, rephrase, in simpler English. Bye,
