In the past, there was the possibility to comment on forum and blog posts here without any time limit, but this system didn't work very well.

Typical situation on a game forum is:
 * People create a thread and they discuss some aspect on the game. After a long time (2+ years), when a game has developed a lot including that discussed aspect, somebody comes to the forum and posts something like "OMG, it doesn't work like that!!!!!!".

If there is no comment in the particular discussion for some time, it usually shows the discussion has moved to its conclusion, i.e. everybody has posted their opinions and there is no more interest in the discussion. This usually happens after 3-5 days without comments, nevertheless people may be on holidays etc., so 2 weeks are usually enough time to express oneself. Majority of people contributing after this time usually post something poinless / off-topic including newly incoming people, including newly coming people.

You look like a creative and intelligent person and I believe you have really something to say, however there is no way how to give exception to specific group of people. Wikia (as other Wikimedia-based projects) is primarily an encyclopedia / knowledge database, i.e. it is mainly about articles, and the forum has a lower priority.
