Tell you what, let's find some middle ground so that we can use the resources without anyone feeling provoked:
Keep the dates and the current format, get rid of the big bold day-by-day counter numbers (after all, we can easily see how long it takes between updates just by having the dates they were posted), edit out all posts below the starting one (or let me do it for you guys), then i'll sticky it and "unstick" all previous update/patch threads except the latest one.
King Solomon kind of solution and all that jazz
