Only one question: Are old requests dismissed? Or will they stay forever? To me, it looks unnecessary to keep them, and I would really appreciate if they were dismissed after they were accepted some time ago (like 6 months) to keep the list clean.
Currently, requests stay on the list forever. I agree that it would be useful to hide requests once closed for a while, though. Unfortunately, we do not store a time stamp of the date/time a request was closed which leaves us with two options:
1. Hide a requests if it has been closed *and* was created a certain amount of time ago.
2. Add a time stamp when the request status changes (i.e. a request is closed). Hide all closed requests where this new time stamp either dates back a certain number of days or is unset.

I would be in favor of #1 simply because it would require less code and no added information to the database. It wouldn't be likely that there are any open requests that would be affected by a change like this (or that anyone would even care). Mark Weiman
