We're going to play it pretty loose with timeframe here so please don't get offended anyone :)

[META] Should we (continue to) allow retro/vintage ads for products that are still available? (sh.itjust.works)

There has been concern that if an ad is for a product someone can still purchase today then it is more an ad, and less something retro/vintage.

Anyone have any thoughts either way? I may do a poll.

Edit: This appears pretty conclusive. There will be no changes at this time. Some have mentioned the lack of hard timeframe but until that becomes an obvious issue is prefer to keep it vague.

Definitely keep them. Especially since most of the old ads aren't exactly flattering by today's standards.
