If the whole site is completely hand cranked and doesn’t use any standard plug-in stuff, then fair enough.
The flip side of the argument might be, what does the money for the freepathon get spent on?
Plus...
If the code was created in 1997 and is being very loosely maintained then who knows what security holes are in it.
I mean, a commercial forum using supposedly secure standard code was downloaded in its entirety only a few months back. A 20 year old platform might be a cakewalk to hack by comparison.
If security patching isn’t covered by freepathon I would not mind seeing the sum increased to cover that effort.
Post editing might be low priority, but one good argument for having it is if someone posts a copyright infringement or actionable libel, they have an opportunity to amend or retract. If there’s no edit option it is entirely down to the admins and site owners to reduce legal risk.

That’s the purpose of the “Preview” button. Use it.

I share your frustration. But there is a problem with allowing editing. Let's say I post a comment: “Trump was a good president.” You respond: “That's true.” Oops. I made a mistake. So I edit my original post to read: “Trump was not a good president.” Now it looks like you think that Trump was no good. See what I mean?“.
That's not a problem if you write in complete sentences.
Guys there is zero legitimate reason not to have an edit function. Not having an edit feature does not turn this board into some kind of truth serum and It has certainly kept many people away.

Not true at all.
Often I barely have time to proof my posts once.
Always too much going on.....

And, all things considered, there are some who are suffering from a pandemic in the region causing death even faster. This known to be true; personal experience.

Is there an urgent need for your post? If you’ve got time to edit, you’ve got time to proofread. Always time to do it over, but never time to do it right.

That’s why we have a preview button.

Proofreading should be done before hitting “Post” not after. The site makes it very easy to do.

Yes...but then there’s the matter of the dying brain cells.Nothing to worry about, it's called survival of the fittest. They're the ones who can't keep up with the rest........
