The 4 month window was because there have been cases of leeway being given; the ones that get hammered are the threads that are years old, but the ones that are a few days over the 3 month mark have some leeway here. I for one have never been a fan of the 'even a day after 3 months is bad' bandwagonl preferring at least a little bit of leeway to be given to people. That's why I personally prefer the 4 month thing. While the reason for it happening in the first place is good, sometimes people do come in a little late but add good comments to a thread.

I think 3-4 months is a good time, myself.
