I can see many good reasons for having a time limit on the ability to edit forum posts. Simple corrections, fair enough but anything that substantially alters a comment - or allows the poster to remove it - are a bad idea, IMO. I've seen it abused on other forums, and, from an admin POV, it can cause all kinds of headaches.

Any retractions to a forum post can be added in a subsequent post at a later time, anyhow. Best bet is to think before you post, or at least be prepared to stand by what you posted in the first place.
