Some games hubs and sites have shoutbox messages from over 2 years ago. Would it be possible to have a decay period after which messages in shoutbox are deleted automatically? (6 months or so?)

I think it's unreasonable to keep messages for extended period of time in the shoutbox because that's usually the first place I look for "what's going down recently" in a game. I see a lot of activity, but then I check the dates and it's from forever ago.
I wouldn't be opposed to a shout box decay by any means, as it is just that-- A shout box.

As for the About Topic for HUBs, I don't think this is a good idea unless added as a HUB toggle-able option. The use for the About Topic tends to vary depending on who's HUB it is.
