[META] Should we (continue to) allow retro/vintage ads for products that are still available? - eviltoast

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.

    Vintage is 25+ years, antique is 100. That’s the guidance of physical items typically. Seems to fit here as well, IMO.

      1999 is vintage. I’m not sure how to feel about that. It’s around the turn of the century, which somehow feels both recent and distant.
