I don't see how an opinion is any less valid because someone isn't active 
on the site. So you think Amazon reviews should only include those that 
have bought something from Amazon in the last 6 months, and if not the 
review should be purged? 

Heck, just look at Out For Blood who actually is deceased. His 
contributions to the community were immeasurable and his opinions SHOULD be 
immortalized. And if that's so, why should anyone else's not be equally so.

That said, you did bring up an interesting point. Dead opinions rather than 
"dead" people.

Many do not update their reviews as often as they shift and change. I think 
it would be a fantastic feature if BGG prompted you to "confirm" your 
rating of each game once a year. I guarantee that there would be a LOT of 
shuffling of scores and rankings then.
